It’s been almost 15 years since the Marianas Trench dropped “Even After”, you may be thinking to yourself who are the Marianas Trench who is that or what is that, they are a Canadian pop band if you have even listened to any radio in the past 15 years i can guarantee you have at least heard one of their songs. 
Lead singer Josh Ramsey created this album and he made a story out of this album. A story about a man who is trapped in this crazy world the album goes over themes like control, escape and identity. Every song on this album just flows so smoothly to the next the interest never ends and Marianas Trenches storytelling ability is very much on display throughout this album.
Musically, “Ever After” is bold and dynamic. Ramsay’s talent for creating grand pop anthems with intricate harmonies and very dramatic flair is evident in songs like “Haven’t Had Enough” and “Desperate Measures.” Meanwhile, songs like “By Now” and “Stutter” ( some of their most popular till this day) demonstrate the band’s ability to combine traditional theatricality with pop. Ramsay’s production, which is creative, and emotionally happy , lends the album a timeless feel that is still relevant in 2025.
Its emotional depth is what really makes Ever After a Canadian cult classic. A profoundly human tale of love, loss, and self-discovery is hidden beneath the fairytale setting. The honesty and vulnerability made into its shiny, upbeat sound resonated with fans. The album has endured for years in concert set lists, playlists, and listeners’ hearts because of this harmony between spectacle and sincerity.
Ever After is a testament to what happens when a band dares to dream bigger in a world where many pop records fade as trends change. Not only is it Marianas Trench’s best-selling album, but it also marks a turning point in Canadian pop-rock history. Many bands starting out nowadays often attribute the Marianas trench as their inspiration for starting up a band. The Marianas Trench band still makes music and their latest album came out in 2024 coinciding with their latest tour in 2024. As of now the band has taken a little break from making music but we are sure it wont last long.
