The band recently relea ed a four ong demo that they collectively feel repre ent the band better than any thing written previously. With plans to hop the ongs around the different labels and also ell at . hows, they do plan to enter the studio again some time this summer. It's no secret that Dayton is not renowned for being one of the better areas to play music. It's a town that has always lacked in show participa tion and general attendance. The members of Marilyn Avenue believe that while it may be difficult to change that completely, maybe it just takes the right sound. "When we were younger, the Dayton scene was much better. There were different people at every show and eventually the crowds just started to dwindle down. Hopefully that will change," said Bane. "I'm not really sure who's to blame for the current state of the Dayton scene, so I'm just going to blame it on Guitar Hero,'' Bane added.
