MARSHALL PRESENTS AN MTV CRIBS SPECIAL FT. HESTON 120
To celebrate the launch of the Heston 120, Marshall has teamed up with MTV for an unforgettable edition of MTV Cribs. This special episode brings viewers inside the wild and wonderful world of British rock icons Dan and Justin Hawkins of The Darkness, alongside a surprise appearance from Marshall Records’ own Nova Twins. Together, they open the doors to their eccentric home, the “Hawk’s Nest,” for a glimpse into their offbeat lives—filled with humor, chaos, and, of course, great music.
This collaboration marks a meeting of two cultural powerhouses. MTV has defined pop culture for decades, while Marshall has fueled the sound of rock ‘n’ roll for over 60 years. The result is a celebration of sound, style, and creative energy. Throughout the episode, Heston 120 plays a starring role, delivering an audio experience worthy of the legends it accompanies. The episode showcases how this soundbar transforms everyday spaces into arenas of pure sonic intensity—whether it’s for blasting riffs, watching films, or enjoying a quiet night in.
Dan Hawkins shared his excitement about the project: “No one’s ever seen where we live—our families haven’t even been inside! But when Marshall came calling, we couldn’t say no. We’ve been longtime fans, and now with these soundbars filling every room, it just felt right.”
MTV Cribs and Marshall coming together isn’t just a promotion—it’s a cultural moment. It’s where legacy meets lifestyle, and where technology, television, and rock attitude collide in perfect harmony.
