The Marias
Band Los Angeles Formed 2016
The Marias formed in 2016 in Los Angeles. The Marias has 19 chart appearances on 19 radio countdowns from 14 stations on RockLists, spanning 2021–2026. The most successful song on radio countdowns is “Hush”, which appears on 11 lists with a best position of #6. The station that charted The Marias most often is WERS 88.9 (Boston, MA), with 2 appearances. The artist’s biggest year on year-end countdowns was 2021.
The Marias came together in Los Angeles in 2016, and CINEMA, their 2021 album on Atlantic, is the sound of a band that treats the whole record like a dim, velvet-lined screening room. Singer María Zardoya slips between English and Spanish, drummer and producer Josh Conway lays down soft jazz-inflected percussion, Jesse Perlman adds lazy guitar hooks and Edward James colors it all in on keyboards, with horn solos drifting through like cigarette smoke.
"Hush" was the track that carried them onto rock radio's countdowns, a slow, sultry groove somewhere between dream pop, psychedelic soul and synth-pop. They followed up with Submarine in 2024, and in 2026 they were nominated for Best New Artist at the Grammys.
