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.”

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.

Check out a blurb from the review of Love and Confusion on Sinusoidal Music:
“Right from the start, there’s a very raw sound to the entire song, it almost sounds like a live recording and that makes the performance intimate and engaging. Additionally, their unique, poetic writing style paired with a powerful delivery play well in an atmosphere of playfulness and confusion on this track. – “I don’t know what to do/The sky is falling down”. With infectious melodies and hints of psychedelia, Makar’s lively performance here could easily get you on your toes!”
