Aaron Marshall
Aaron Marshall has long been considered an innovator through the progressive, instrumental rock project, Intervals; he’s built a career on trusting his instincts, even when that intuition has led him down a decidedly less traveled road. That may mean tearing down genre norms, finding creative ways to interact with fans, or a commitment to self-releasing music even when label opportunities are readily available to him. Marshall has bet on himself continuously and backed that gamble up with hard work, unparalleled creativity, and an uncompromising desire to make each Intervals release a pivotal moment in the lineage of instrumental rock.
SAM GUAIANA
Sam Guaiana is a producer, mixer, and songwriter from Toronto, Ontario, based in Los Angeles. He has worked with rock and metal acts such as Silverstein, The Devil Wears Prada, Intervals, Bayside, Against The Current, and many more. Music that Sam has produced has gathered hundreds of millions of streams around the globe, as well as award nominations such as Silverstein’s JUNO nominated record “A Beautiful Place to Drown.”
