the-breakdown.net with Costa Zouliou - Dom Mariani

Late Last year Dom Mariani released his second solo record called Apple of Life. Dom was the driving force behind 80’s garage rock band The Stems with songs like Sad Girl and At First Sight and later in the 90’s he formed DM3, you might remember power pop tracks like, Foolish and 1 Time, 2 Times Devastated and Melt Away from The Someloves before that. If you can remember any of those tracks and I’m sure you can, Dom Mariani’s  latest album Apple of Life will be a rewarding listen. And keep an ear out for a tour and new album from The Stems later in 2026. Check out the link in the comments for our chat about Dom Mariani’s latest solo album, Apple of Life, The Stems and even a bit of Creedence Clearwater Revival, hint: which version of I heard it Through the Grapevine did you hear first, Marvin Gaye’s or CCR’s?
