Marvelous Mark Is Back

January 15, 2016 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

I first discovered Marvelous Mark when I got into Marvelous Darlings awhile back, but I’d mostly forgotten about the songwriter until I saw a friend post about his forthcoming Crushin’ LP on Drunken Sailor Records. The music he crafts lands somewhere between power pop and pop punk; you can expect to hear heavy rifts filled with hook after hook. These are the sorts of songs you turn up loud, memorize and sing at the top of your lungs with all your friends. The album drops this weekend, and it’s my birthday weekend, so feel free to buy it and ship it my way!

New Music from Marvelous Mark

May 16, 2014 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

I figured we’d wrap up our week (I know it’s been slow from us) with this great new tune from Marvelous Mark. He first came to my attention as part of Marvelous Darlings, which included Ben Cook of Fucked Up. This new jam has him working solo, but the music’s still got the same feel. It’s a power-pop fueled jam, holding tight to some pretty incredible melodies; it reminds me a lot of bands like Dead Stars or even Nada Surf…heavy-hitting guitars and catchy melodies. You can pick this tune up via Bad Actors on his new Flexi 7″.
