Where the Bruises Learned Songs

Cold Marrow was founded by Sawyer Holloway and Cole Mercer, who first started out playing together in a cover band called Looking for Alice.
Built around their love of 90s grunge, the band played the songs that shaped them—heavy, melodic, and full of the raw honesty that defined that era. But before long, Sawyer and Cole wanted something more personal.
That led to the creation of Cold Marrow, where they could turn their own scars, memories, and experiences into original music. Their first original song was “Rain,” a track that became the blueprint for the band’s sound: dark, emotional, melodic, and heavy.
Not long after, the group recorded a five-song demo, laying the foundation for everything Cold Marrow would become. What began as a love for the grunge songs that raised them evolved into a band built on truth, weight, and songs that cut deep enough to last.
