Underground
Irish artist Mark Greville, now based in Liverpool, charted with
his last two bands in Ireland (Zeel, Ginseng). Through hard work,
he has built up his profile, amassed experience of radio and tv
appearances and gained a loyal following. He describes his music
as 'Stark Aggressive Acoustic Alternative Pop Rock!'
What?!
Well,
listen for yourself here:'Names'.
The music is across between Radiohead's 'The Bends' and James Browns
'Sex Machine' with a hint of 60s pop thrown in.
Described
by one reviewer as 'Damien Rice in a fight,' Mark is noted for his
fantastic voice and songwriting ability. Recently, Mark opened up
3 week UK and Irish tour for Stevo from the Fun Lovin Criminals
and we're sure that he's destined for great things.
