Marianas Trench is a Canadian pop rock band from Vancouver, British Columbia. They formed in 2001; the band consists of lead vocalist, rhythm guitarist, and pianist Josh Ramsay, lead guitarist Matt Webb, bassist Mike Ayley, and drummer and percussionist Ian Casselman.

In 2002 the band released an EP with songs that would later be put on their debut LP Fix Me, released in 2006. The album was named after a song that was later released as a B-side track.

In 2009, Masterpiece Theatre was released which features tracks “Masterpiece Theatre I,” “Masterpiece Theatre II,” and “Masterpiece Theatre III” as an expansion on each other, the final featuring melodies and lyrics from the entire album woven throughout the finale. A year and a half later, a director’s cut was released in November 2010 that features two bonus acoustic tracks, an alternate version of “Good to You (ft. Jessica Lee)”, and a cover of Billy Joel’s “So It Goes.”

The third album released by Marianas Trench is Ever After in 2011. Lead singer and songwriter Josh Ramsay wanted to create an album that would flow seamlessly from song to song, creating a cohesive album that could be listened to start to finish without a hitch. The band struggled to complete the album before the deadline, and finished it down to the last minute. In 2013 a four-song EP was released titled Face the Music, featuring two album releases from Ever After and two acoustic songs from the album.

Before the release of their fourth LP, Marianas Trench released another EP: Something Old/Something New. It features two tracks written before the release of their debut LP Fix Me, and two singles released in 2014.
