Brad Marino - On The Brink: Rarities, Remixes & Unreleased (2025) Hi-Res

NOTE! tracks 01 & 11 are 16/44.1kHz

Enter On The Brink, Brad Marino’s new rarities and singles compilation via Rum Bar Records—the rare kind that feels like a no-regret purchase, the kind you can spin front to back and enjoy without skipping. Sure, you may have heard some of these tracks before (albeit in different mixes), but odds are they weren’t in your collection yet, either because they were digital-only or just hard to find.

On The Brink showcases all sides of Marino: decades spanning ramones-leaning pop punk (Dame Darcy, Hamburger U), garage power pop (C’Mon, C’Mon, C’Mon remains a favorite, as does Should’ve Known), classic rock’n’roll and ’60s pop influences, and killer covers of What’s My Scene? (Hoodoo Gurus) and Peggy Sue Got Married (Buddy Holly). This is good-time music from one of garage power pop’s finest songwriters today AND a lesson in how to make a rarities collection feel like a greatest hits album.

"Perennial pop punk flag waver Brad Marino follows up 2023’s stellar Grin & Bear It with a kitchen sink and all collection of rarities, remixes, and covers. The record boasts everything Marino is associated with — strong hooks, stellar singalong choruses, fast/loud guitars, and a timelessness that clocks his music anywhere between the late ’70s and now." - New Noise Magazine
