We sure didn’t see this one coming! Marshall, known for guitar amps, headphones, and other professional music hardware, now sells its own Android phone.

It’s called The London, and it looks to be an impressive piece of kit. The phone is all about music, with two audio jacks, two front-facing speakers, and a dedicated “M-Button” that launches your preferred music application. 

The London also has a golden scroll-wheel that controls the volume and looks like it belongs on the side of an amp or stage speaker.

Marshall’s phone will be available August 17 for about $584 (the current rate for 4,995 Swedish Krona) and includes a free set of Marshall earbuds. Presumably with its availability in multiple countries, the device will be unlocked for use on your preferred GSM carrier.
