Music reviews

Music reviewers have described Marston's music as "instantly catchy, energetic pop rock tunes,"[15] "upbeat,"[17] and "crunchy."[18] Guitar World editor Brad Tolinski described Marston's lyrics as "unique" and that he has "something to say" which is "worth listening to."[19] My Old Kentucky Blog wrote that his music has "ragged urgency."[19][20]

His vocals have been described as "over-enunciated,"[21] "understated,"[22] as having a "shy slur to sexy shout"[16] with an "endearing loneliness"[3] and a "quirky confidence."[23]

His lyrics have been described by critic Addy Danti of Buzz Danti as "witty and wise beyond their years, set to grungy melodies that encapsulate a youthful angst.[16] Another reviewer wrote that the "title track spins and jams with ferocity that doesn't take away from Marston's melodic quality."[3] Another described his lyrics as "sleepily whimsical poems"[24] while another described them as "quirky and charming."[25]

Personal life
