Marked Men
Ghosts
Dirtnap Records [2009]
Album Review: No one will ever convince me that pop punk rock is dead and Denton, Texas band, Marked Men help keep the genre alive on Ghosts! This new record is 15 songs in 30 minutes, which simply means that every track averages 2 minutes.
Bands that are good at this can pack tons of hooks into this structure and that is exactly what the Marked Men accomplish. Ghosts is full of tight, short, raw and memorable tracks that will make it the record I first roll down my windows to this year!
Key Track: “Ditch”
Artist With Similar Fire: The Riverdales
