"DRIVING ALL NIGHT"

 
 
Since being a part of the local rock scene in Lowell, Massachusetts, MARTIN HUQ is breaking through into something big with his new EP "Driving All Night".

His music is a combination of well-crafted songs and pop sensibility. He is a seasoned musician with a dynamic stage prescence.

Bottom line, it's a Rock N' Roll Revival


"Mixed by Joel Plante (Pink Floyd, David Gilmour), the E.P. is as sexed-up and larger than life as its creator. 'Driving All Night' is a direct extension of Martin Huq's persona, disarming the listener with self confident, cockeyed swagger. He is hell bent on taking them for a ride to the rock n' roll promised land in his suped-up '78 Camaro"
-- Pulse Magazine


"Right off the starting line, Martin Huq's 'Driving All Night' will pump the tympanic membrane with energy to do just what the title track indicates: Drive All Night. Old School over-driven guitar tones, brilliant catchy vocals and infectious song-writing from Huq are what fortifies...Night as an enticing listen"
-- Music Reviewer - Karl Russo


"Where are all the rockstars? Question asked, question answered...in the form of self-proclaimed rock-n-roll revivalist Martin Huq. Combining slithering stage antics with three chord rock wickedness, he's got the complete rock-n-roll package ~ music, antics and after party. Huq wants to knock your block off with the rock...not be your Indie Label Darling."
-- Matthew Erhartic - Pulse Magazine


"Martin Huq slithers across the stage in Mick Jagger fashion, his agenda takes possession of the audience."
-- The Village Voice, New York City


"'Coney Island Rides' and 'Amelia Earhart' take a cue from metal ballad radio days of yesteryear and they work surprisingly well. Prepare to flick your Bic. One of Huq's strengths is that he doesn't allow himself to fall into the self parody ~ there's no "wink wink, nudge nudge" when he delivers melodramatic lyrics over guitar heroics and weeping pianos. He's a real deal Holyfield, legitimately channeling his sorrow and tales of lovers' quarrel into over-the-top, well crafted Opuses."
-- Matthew Erhatic


"HUQ (pronounced like 'HUCK') was the lead singer of the famous Massachusetts based band COTTON MOUTH. He has performed in hundreds of concerts."
