If you like big guitars and a dose of psychedelia, you’ll love The Space Sharks! From the fast and heavy "Run For Cover," to the acoustic/electric "Perfect," recording the band's 9 song debut CD has been a thrill for Lead Vocalist/Guitarist Lonnie Richard: "This has been the best time we've had rocking together. When we recorded the CD we knew we had a good take when it hit us in the gut, rather than thinking about things like 'Okay, here comes this part, and I'm going to do this thing I've worked out for hours until all the spontaneity and life have been sucked out of it." He laughs. "Instead, we went 'Yeah, this feels right!' when we had a strong take we all liked, which most often was the first or second take. Anything after that, we were kind of repeating ourselves."



“The response to the music and bandhas been great!" says Drummer/Backing Vocalist Mike Martino. "Yeah,we definitely tried to keep that live feel, even on a slower song like 'Fools,'which is probably my favorite. It's a little slower than the other songs,tempo-wise, but it definitely has that crackling energy."



Together with bassist Bob Bergeron,the band from Baltimore, Maryland USA kicks into high gear. Lon adds"Bob's a melodic madman and probably the loudest bass-player I’ve everheard! We’ve been friends since high school and have been in different bandsover the years, but we decided to form The Space Sharks in 2009 and neverlooked back!”



Mastered by Jonathan Wyner, "TheSpace Sharks" sound is crisp and big. Slap on a pair of headphones fortrippy panning effects and swirling guitars. It's The Space Sharks at theirbest. Yeah, baby!
