NEW YORK – On July 7th, 2009 Marcy Playground made their highly anticipated comeback with their fourth studio album Leaving Wonderland…In A Fit Of Rage and felt the early love from radio programmers. This early success with strong tracks like “Blackbird”, “Devil Woman”, “Star Baby” and “Good Times” is paving the way for a well-seasoned rock band that’s back in 2010 with a new vibe and track list to match. The group is scheduled to play at Spin Entertainment Complex in Florence June 25 In 1997 Marcy Playground dominated the airways and the charts with “Sex and Candy”, a hit that gave them much attention. After a five years hiatus, Marcy Playground’s sound has matured but still exerts John Wozniak’s quirky lyrics and catchy melodies. Marcy Playground has come a long way from “Sex and Candy” and can’t wait to share the music from Leaving Wonderland… In A Fit Of Rage. A highly original and melodic modern rock band, Marcy Playground exploded onto the scene back in 1997 with the insanely irresistible hit single “Sex And Candy,” a song that notched [a then-record] fifteen consecutive weeks at number one on Billboard’s U.S. Modern Rock tracks chart and a self-titled debut album that went on to sell 1.7 million copies. Subsequent albums Shapeshifter (1999) and Marcy Playground 3 (”MP3”) (2004) showcased two periods of tremendous creative evolution for the group, and have gone on to enjoy something of “cult classic” status among the band’s many loyal fans. On their riveting and keenly-anticipated fourth album, Leaving Wonderland… In A Fit Of Rage, Marcy Playground return to action in triumphant fashion. Armed with songs born of an intense and turbulent period in his life, Marcy Playground’s main man, singer/guitarist John Wozniak, has fashioned a record that digs deep, taking the listener on an exhilarating and satisfying emotional and musical rollercoaster ride. Its creator is justifiably proud of his accomplishment, stating “this is the most personal record I’ve ever made, and I think it’s the thing that will connect most with other people.”
