February 14, 2025: the NEWBORN FOSSIL EP is now available in the digital jungle!

Recorded and mixed by Jake Shives, and mastered by Grammy-winning Detroit legend Dave Feeny at Tempermill Studios, the new 5-song EP is everywhere. Stream or download it on Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube... you get the idea.

Anatomy of an apex predator

Marcus was, lately, a cat.  And an all-timer at that.  


His complex legacy of ferocity and hugability lives on through M:tAP!'s component parts, 

connected by Detroit sinew, from whiskers to claws:  


KEVIN WATTS (guitars / vox), 

NICK MARKO (drums), and 

SEAN BONDAREFF (bass).


M:tAP!'s hisses, howls, and purrs have been likened to other cats as eclectic Jawbox and At the Drive-In, to Touche Amore and Bob Mould, to Planes Mistaken for Stars and Death from Above 1979.  


But please -- don't just read when you can...

"I've never heard anything like the genre-mashed, raucously eclectic track...   M:tAP! may be the only band keeping the old Punk sound alive with their unapologetic approach to composing head-bending  tracks."

"This album showcases what they do best – the beats, the drive, and the volume – the loss and the gain."
