Sounds Like: QUOTES FROM THE MEDIA ABOUT MARK HOWARD "One of the most exciting vocal talents to grace the Melbourne music scene in recent years. Mark Howard has a set of pipes that rival the best in rock music. Comparisons could be made to Jeff Buckley and Robert Plant, but that is neither necessary nor fair to the sheer intensity and origanilaty of his voice." -Jane Elizabeth Hanley, Mod Piece "Mark Howard was really something to watch. With his flawless voice, he oozed with natural charisma." .-Jodie Taylor, Youth Central "The voice is distinctive. It takes you in and along. Passionate and resonant. A touch of Bernard Fanning. Big emotional songs that engage the listener." - Impress Magazine "Mark's disarming sincerity synchs with the feel good atmosphere." -Andrew Tiys, Beat Magazine "A class act" - Neil wedd, Impress Magazine..
