PINK COCOON, the solo project created by Zolla Marc,
recently announced that he would be hitting the road for the "Ridin Out
West Tour" this April. Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances, some
dates have been postponed and an updated tour routing has been announced.
(dates listed below)
PINK COCOON live is loud, but can be soft when needed. It’s
doom, it’s blues, it’s pop, it’s rock n roll. With a wide range of influences,
the band melds an intricate soundscape that spans across genres. Providing a
solid groove, the PINK COCOON experience includes headbanging and dancing for
an overall great time.
PINK COCOON started as a solo project by Zolla Marc
recording all instruments and vocals in studio. He plays with a bassist and
drummer for the live shows to maintain the power trio sound. With low-fi/garage
rock EP "Alienation" (2017) under his belt, PINK COCOON plans to
consistently release music with a different, crisp edge this year. A new single
already planned to be unveiled in the coming weeks.
Fans of Black Sabbath, Jimi Hendrix, and Nirvana will enjoy
the musical stylings of PINK COCOON.

BIO:
Pink Cocoon is a power trio lead by Zolla Marc from Montreal, Canada.
He likes to call his music “Doom Blues” focusing on psychedelic old school
heavy bluesy riffs with a touch of catchy melodies and doom. The live band
lineup is the classic 3 piece set up with Zolla Marc on guitar/lead vocals with
a revolving line up on bass and drums.
Pink Cocoon initially started off 2 summers ago as a solo
studio project writing, performing and producing the Alienation - 6 Track EP.
as of April 2018, it is currently available for full stream and purchase
online. Concerning live performance, the band is loud and uses full-stack
amplification so the audience can engulf themselves into the Pink Cocoon
experience playing every gig like their last. Feedback and sustain are also
necessary. The band’s first live performance was on April 21st, 2017 in Montreal and has played
over 50 gigs in the first year.
"The songs are some of the best, stylistically, since
Death Metal Pope dropped their ‘Harvest’ EP at the end of 2016. If you like a
riff…and especially one that comes from a very heavy Hawkwind headspace, then
you need to seek out this release immediately." - Real Gone Rocks
"The sound and the flow of ‘Alienation’ holds up to
repeat listening pretty well. A lot of the ‘flow’ appeal comes from
straightforward song structures that are geared towards classic rock
music." - Grizzly Butts
"Fully absorbed into the world of squalling feedback
solos and a psychedelic blues atmosphere, Pink Cocoon immediately step above
the rest of the Witchcraft clones by being truly doom in their output."
-Those Once Loyal
"With trusty pedals and multiple influences, the Pink
Cocoon sound is a force to be reckoned with." - Bucketlist Music
Reviews
"They play a more mellow and bluesy style of stoner,
cited on their website as “doom blues for your soul”, which, quite frankly, is
exactly what it is. Their riffs are thick yet soft-edged, and when coupled with
vocalist Zolla Marc’s soothing yet rough style of singing, create a beautifully
warm atmosphere. To be cheesy, the name is fitting." - Metal Megalomania
"Montreal’s
Pink Cocoon brings heaps of fuzzy goodness with classic grunge pop songwriting.
Their six song EP contains some seriously addictive bluesy riffs plus choruses
that deliver oodles of ear worms that would have gotten them signed instantly
to a major label a few decades ago." - Indy Metal Vault
