"Shark?... seem to fall in the oft used category of lo-fi pop rock music... Lucky for Shark? they remembered the absolute cardinal rule about lo-fi music, that there must be catchy, good tunes underneath the poor recordings to make it all worth while... These are tunes that will not leave your head no matter how many times you smash it with a hammer. They stick there, they force you to sing-a-long, and you will probably love them more then you love your cat." - Pop Tarts Suck Toasted
"Seeing a band that's happy to put on a show -- a real, we're-not-phoning-it-in show -- is always refreshing, but add in pop writing that channels Ted Leo and Pavement, and it's impossible to go wrong." - thedelimagazine.com
"This is superb grimy garage-rock, with the added benefit of 30-odd years' hindsight. I've Got Friends... chunters and grinds; a wild mechanical blur of fuzzy guitars and stark drumbeats... "I'm An Animal" is one to throw yourself around the bedroom to: the chiming riff pealing insistently, the hi-hats constant, the vocals growling, weary but happy... [as it] explodes in a maelstrom of cute overlapping melodies and frenzied drums, you might dwell on the thought that such greatness is often achieved in this kind of simplicity. Songs like these leave nothing else on which to ponder. They're simple, straightforward and yet convoluted enough to make you wonder." - anewbandaday.com
Shark? or the slightly more googleable “sharkquestionmark” is the band that has sprung forth from the blog Quiet Color. If you dig the janglylofijams, you should skip forward and just download the mp3 below right now (it’s OK, I won’t be offended). What sets Shark? apart from your average lofiblogband is their bass vocal stylings. Definitely took me by surprise. - gimmetinnitus.com
Shark?, the weirdest band name, in a fun way, has also had the honor of being the Pop Tarts Suck Toasted Band of the Week, and deservedly so. They are making some "waves" right now. Tee hee. - popjew.blogspot.com

From the briny deep. Songs soaked in ocean mist. business in the front, rows and rows of razor sharp teeth in the back. vague and unsettling. perpetual forward motion. or death.
