“Nice one. Your stuff sounds great. Nice, thick synths...”

"The Watermarks have mastered the art of the well written, hook laden hit song."
David Sadof - KLOL, KTBZ, KFNC
-
"If Phil Spector made an album with Jesus and Mary Chain and New Order, it would sound like The Watermarks."
-
"One of the best bands in town is the Watermarks, a group that does big, lush, layered pop, but without the usual perkiness that often accompanies big, lush, layered pop. There's a dark, electronic undercurrent..."
The Houston Chronicle
-
"The Watermarks are tailor-made to outfit any party with their blend of unadulterated vigor, scorching six-strings, grooving basslines, and thumping beats. Their cover of Prince’s “When You Were Mine” is sure to be hit with audiences. The Watermarks could easily charm crowds at rock shows as well. Tracks like “I Used To Be Your Rock ‘n’ Roll” and “Shut Down” are as noisy as they are glistening, and balance the synth output perfectly with fuzzy and distorted guitars."

"sounds like Black Rebel Motorcycle Club's chocolate got in LCD Soundsystem's peanut butter"

"The Watermarks are now elected to fill the void inexcusably left by New Order, Killing Joke and Jesus And Mary Chain. The EP or rather a virtual mini album..Thoughts Like Bombs..will stir the most ardent Indie lover, cross genre hopping is the new staple diet of strobe light Rock N Roll and given the humble synthesizer has not succumbed to sequencers and editing software, The Watermarks have unearthed Alternative Rock you can dance to."

"Lovely Shoe-Gazers"
Free Press Houston
-
"Heavy synths layer the songs, which though catchy at times also veer toward the same dark rawness of Joy Division/New Order. Don’t mistake my comparisons for imitations though, as The Watermarks have an original spirit of their own."

“I love your music...”
Michael Patterson - Producer/mixer, She Wants Revenge, Beck, BRMC, Duran Duran

"Strong and catchy enough to have some real commercial potential..."
Tim Oliver - Future Music Magazine
-
"There's also a 'wall of sound' production approach with heavily distorted guitars. All very good. We love the song... "
