""Not a bad track...""

There's not a bad track on this album. This is music by someone who actually has something to say and knows how to say it.
-Joe Viglione

(Distraction) - Allmusic.com


""One of the finest recordings...""

Distraction is a complex ride through the mind that easily stands out as one of the finest recordings of the year.
-L. Keane - Hybridmagazine.com


""Biting dark lyrics...""

Steven Mark plays guitar and sings sweetly but with biting dark lyrics. He has the voice, the acumen and the intellect to take his music to the masses.
-Keith Hannaleck

(Distraction) - Progressiveworld.net


""Vividly written...""

This album breaks out of the traditional mold and features Steven Mark's dreamy Beatlesque sound. This is mellow music that your parents probably chilled out to in the sixties. Vividly written imagery abounds throughout Mark's songwriting.

""This album blows me away.""

"This album blows me away. There isn't a bad song on it. Mark has that old school feel, yet he never falls into the trap of sounding dated. It should be no time before we are all associating Steven Mark with the word 'spectacular.'"
Mark Fisher

""Here's a very different sounding voice.""

"Here's a very different sounding voice. A voice almost resembling that of some psychedelic rock pioneers. The album is jam packed with tracks that glisten with many musical aspects and different techniques."

""The vocals are rich and mellow...""

"Steven Mark merges a collage of varied sounds to craft and hone his own unique voice. The vocals are rich and mellow, the lyrics are introspective and enlightening, and harmonies journey forward to highly addictive rhythms. Pick up this album immediately."

Bio

Blending poetic introspective lyrics with sixties inspired musical arrangements and lush vocal harmonies, Steven Mark describes his sound as Cat Stevens meets early REM with a touch of Crosby Stills & Nash.

A graduate of Columbia Journalism School and a one time cover act, Steven released his first cd, DISTRACTION, in the summer of 2004. The album was named one of the finest recordings of the year by Hybrid Magazine.

He now turns to the realm of dysfunctional relationships with his new release, ALONEAPHOBE. The melodic 14-track, image rich collection is a poignant chronicle of a break up loosely inspired by the film Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind. The album charted in the Top 15 for adds to CMJ.

Steven Mark,s third cd, Racing Grey, is due in stores on May 22nd. He lives in New York City where he performs frequently at The Baggot Inn, Sidewalk Cafe and CB’s Gallery next to CBGB’s. His songs have been played on radio stations around the country, and he has a growing tribe of fans on Myspace.com.
