Press / Reviews
“"Pop-rock phenomenon Mardez graces our ears with his brand new 10 track project ‘Been There Before’. Delivering a brew of well-loved nostalgic rock ‘n’ roll sonics served up alongside piercingly soulful vocals, this is an album that will have you hooked." "Carrying a bluesy and groovy undertone, Mardez creates a super unique sound and is blazing full speed ahead on his own path." Mardez revealed: “The track’s name and content represent the fact of being in constant life changing situations, both good and bad, and knowing how to react because I’ve been there before. That reference also speaks to the fact that most of these songs have been written and performed for years, though never recorded. They’ve also ‘been there before’.”” - Andrew Lewis
“"Emerging Pop-Rock artist Mardez has unveiled his debut full length album ‘Been There Before’, led by the spectacular title track. With his incredibly distinctive blend of traditional Rock ‘N’ Roll riffs, Soul vocals, and Funk fuelled grooves, Mardez has crafted an eclectic collection of tracks.Consisting of 10 vibrant and groove-laden tracks, ‘Been There Before’, and its title track, leads the way for this emerging artist. Tinged with subtle pop sensibilities, “Been There Before” is an alternative anthem fueled by latin rhythms, funk riffs and Mardez’s alluring vocals, all culminating in a deeply captivating and idiosyncratic soundscape. Filled to the brim with a rebellious attitude that hails to the Psychedelic Rock scene of the 60s, Mardez manages to pay homage to the past while remaining entirely fresh and unique."” - Undergound Apex Admin
““Riotous American alt-rock artist Mardez has unveiled his raucous offering, Been There Before. “The track’s name and content represent the fact of being in constant life changing situations, both good and bad, and knowing how to react because I’ve been there before. That reference also speaks to the fact that most of these songs have been written and performed for years, though never recorded. They’ve also ‘been there before’.” Filled with a heady and irresistible rhythm, and an infectious bass line, title track ‘Been There Before’ is a colourful and endlessly stylish listen. Led by the eclectic and memorable vocals of Mardez, this glistening retro anthem serves as a tantalising debut.”” - ihouseuadmin
