The New York Times
"...Shark?..."
New York Magazine
"Emerging Brooklyn quartet, steadily gaining momentum with their melodic grit."
The L Magazine: 8 NYC Bands You Need To Hear in 2010
"Modern Lovers, Go Betweens, Pavement, and, sorry, but the Strokes, at least insofar as they've perfected the sound of not caring while clearly caring very much. It's grimy and blaring, but there's also a noticeable elegance to their best material, where they build something beautiful and serious, only to knock it down and laugh at it. Lo-fi with a purpose, basically."
StereoacticeNYC
"Shark? is definitely a young band on the rise in the city right now, playing slews of shows and putting out self-released and/or free EPs and singles seemingly every time they put pick to guitar and stick to drum. Kevin Diamond — lead singer and songwriter for the band — is apparently something of a dynamo, able to turn out high-quality pop gems encased in fuzz and crunch like most people brew coffee in the morning."
POP TARTS SUCK TOASTED - 10 BANDS TO WATCH FOR 2010
"These guys are probably the most fun band playing music in New York right now. They let everything go on stage, and that means buckets of sweat and undeniably catchy rock tunes."
BAND OF THE WEEK at Pop Tarts Suck Toasted
"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."
EMERGING BAND at The Deli Magazine
"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."
A New Band A Day
"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"
Ampeater Digital 7"
I love this band... They have incredible songs, great craft, a thick sound that I’d be psyched to see live. It sounds like some undiscovered 1976 gem of a single dug up in the way back of the last surviving CD store in Minneapolis’s going-out-of business sale...
Five Tunes..
When it comes to garage rock that rivals the Troggs, the McCoys, the Monks and the other fallen heroes of that time, Shark? makes a pretty amazing case with a song like “I’m An Animal.”
Standing Room
At a time when lo-fi bands seem to use the fuzz aesthetic to mask musical weakness, Shark?’s talent is undeniably refreshing. With impressive vocals and tight instrumentals, Shark? will restore your faith in garage rock bands.
And probably the nicest thing ever said about us but we're not sure cause of the whole translation thing...
Mini album "Fear!" Is better remind me of GBV Gashagasha recording. "I'm An Animal" is a slick introduction to the Rite Towa keyboard has been carefully recorded. Mark E. Smith singing or sometimes New Fast Automatic Daffodils people would like

Sounds Like:
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.
