Hailing from Cork, Ireland, Mark Daly is a distinctive singer/songwriter with a hard rock pedigree. His sound is raw, energetic rock music that has influences from classic rock, post-grunge, and modern rock, creating a unique blend that is his signature sound. "Gotta Run" is a fiery, swagger-filled tune that boasts the colossal rock sound of Mark Daly. The song is well crafted as the band blends classic rock elements with earworm melodies to create that big arena rock sing-along before the song unfolds into a swirling frenzy for the manic crescendo. With rasped vocals and dynamic energy pulsing throughout, 'Gotta Run' is a satisfying rock stomper that displays the magnificent sound of Mark Daly & The Ravens." Indie Buddie "Daly's performance highlighted his wide vocal range and guitar talent (he grabbed his acoustic for a handful of songs), delivering an in-your-face rock-and-roll tone that captured the audience's attention. Having never been exposed to Daly before, my initial reaction was that he was like an Irish Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam) if there can be such a thing." All Music Magazine "Mark's sound is raw, energetic rock music that has influences from classic rock bands but also appreciates a modern rock sound with a blend of both." Metal Temple Mark's latest record 'Devil's Arms' was recorded at the famed Sonic Ranch Studios with Grammy-nominated producer Brian Virtue (Jane's Addiction, Audioslave, 30 Seconds to Mars). "Working with Brian at Sonic Ranch has been the best recording experience that I've had in my music career to date. Brian completely understood the band's sound and knew exactly how to get the very best out of us and capture our raw and energetic style of music while letting us remain as creative as possible." Mark spent the Fall of 2024 as direct support for Ritchie Kotzen on a 36-city, 7-week long tour of the U.S. "I love absolutely everything about being on the road - meeting so many incredible people each night and getting lost in the music on stage. It's pure magic." Mark's latest release, 'Devil's Arms', has over one million streams on Spotify. The top track on the album is 'Pieces,' a duet with Emily Armstrong who is the new lead singer for Linkin Park. Mark has a substantial amount of new music that will be released in 2025 as well as more recording time coming up at Orb Studios in Austin, Texas where he'll be recording with Matt Noveskey, the bass player for Blue October. Expect to be hearing and seeing Mark in a broad variety of outlets in the coming year.
