âHere is a band worth getting very excited about.
Look no further to satisfy your search for tough pop hooks.â --Shake It Up Magazine

MARK WATSON BANDâs sound can be traced back to the suburbs of Chicago when Mark Watson would sit in his basement and play his favorite albums on his parentsâ stereo. The guitar rock of Kiss and Cheap Trick competed for airplay with the pure melodies and harmonies of Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys. Mark Watson Band showcases these influences to create the modern power pop sound that earned the band critical raves for âcouldaâ¦shouldaâ¦wouldaâ, their full-length album released in 2000 on Big Blast Records. The single, âThe King Of Big Mistakesâ received airplay on over 80 college, public, and international radio stations from as far away as Australia, Portugal, and Turkey. The song drew praise from many DJs and
critics. The Buffalo Beat said, "âThe King Of Big Mistakesâ should be on power pop compilations for years to come.â
