The Marked Men

The Marked Men’s affinity for fast, choppy power chords and manic energy is well-collected on Dirtnap Records, who have released three of the band’s four albums. Although a garage-punk sound is this outfit’s main flavor, Marked Men’s bubbling instrumentation varies between candied Buddy Holly harmonies, melancholic ballads, and propulsive ’70s rockers — think leather jackets and motorbikes fueled by TaB and orange Crush. After an extended hiatus, the Denton, TX band have reunited for a U.S. tour.
