The acoustic version of their big hit proves to show that they are not a generic boy band. Not only do they play their own instruments, but they understand the intricate art of harmonizing with only a simple melody to go by. “Desperate Measures” is the perfect introduction to American audiences. Not only does it cater to the American sound, but it also has a great comedic video, which is something Marianas Trench is known for in Canada. Powered by an electric guitar, the band employs the use of auto tune, not because of minimal talent, but because it sounds really damn cool!
