About Me

We are a three-piece ethereal rock band living in the northeastern United States.
Where we're at:
Our first full-length recording is available on CD directly from us as well as in digital and physical form through the online sources linked below.
Physical copies exist in a limited pressing of 500.
This disc is a pleasant surprise ... Shark works, from the vamp melody at the end of "Feel the Fear" to the feedback-only "(-)" to points between ... A good candidate for listening in the car late at night or putting on the headphones and drifting off to wherever you want to go ...
-- David Riedel, New Haven Advocate
Purchase our recording from the following online retailers, where we are listed as Shark [band]:
Purchase CD via CDBaby .
Download via LaLa .
Download via Rhapsody .
Download via eMusic .
Follow us on Twitter .
Please send correspondence to: sharkband3 (at) gmail (dot) com
We realize it might be hard to search for us given the commonality of our name and the multitude of others that use it. There are no videos of us on YouTube (yet), and for the time being, no other albums/songs of ours other than what you see here.
Thank you.
Otherwise,
Joe has several music projects, most notably Chaplinesque and Instructions.
John plays bass in APSE and keyboards in The Tyler Trudeau Attempt.
