Our album, Fancy Hercules is on The Roots Music Report’s Top Blues Rock Album Chart for 2021 and for 2022!
We’re climbing the charts!!!! We’re ahead of ZZ Top & Melissa Etheridge. Pretty cool for an indie band!
We also appeared on two other Roots Music Report Charts for the Week of Jan 1, 2022 - #26 on Top 50 Blues Rock Albums and #24 on Top New York Albums. Fuggedaboutit!
We received a fantastic review of our song I’m Alright on Music Existence:
It’s hard to pick a fav section in this review. But we think it’s this:
“Knowing that they have the street credit, the indie rock darlings of the world, I rooted for Makar’s overall essence. It’s like walking into a vintage store, all the yellows, the greens, the rust colors – and feeling an overwhelming sense of sunshine and love. They somehow embody this punk world but let in shards of light and optimism. If they were a periodical, Makar would be the homemade kind you used to grab on your way out of the downtown record stores. Someone took the time to make a run to Kinkos and make those music rags.”

Our video I Want to be Loved was a Glamglare video pick of the week for of January 10, 2022
Here’s what they had to say about us:
“NYC duo MAKAR does not need much to bring a story to life, in this case, “Petronella” by Jay Williams. They put a lot of good vibes into music and visuals, so enjoy a five-minute break from the cold January weather.”

We received a stellar review of our song Love and Confusion by The Other Side Reviews
Here’s a taste -
‘Love and Confusion’ has you bopping around to the sound and the melody from the first note. There is a lovely summer vibe to the music that fills you with good vibes. As you sway and smile to the music, you can feel the stress of the world lifting off your shoulders, whilst soaking up the warmth of the single. The steady upbeat vibes of the music whip past you like the wind, as you ride down the open road with the windows down. The drums that enter later in the track add a beach vibe to the lively music. There is no way you can listen to this melody and not feel lighter after.
