MARION

Marion

Marion are an English rock band, originally formed in 1993, in Macclesfield, Cheshire. They became connected to the Britpop music scene, appearing on the Britpop Now BBC television special. Influenced by local stars like Joy Division, Buzzcocks and The Smiths, they were hailed as possible successors to The Smiths, but never achieved the success predicted for them, falling prey to the so-called "curse of Morrissey" . They split up in 1999.
