Cory Marks mixes the twang of country music with the hard-hitting stomp of rock & roll. Full of autobiographical storytelling, guitar-driven anthems, drinking songs, and breakup ballads, his songs are rooted in the influence of Cory's hometown, North Bay, Ontario.

Influenced by songs by Deep Purple, Ozzy Osbourne, and Rush, and his parents' country records, developing a deep appreciation for outlaws like Waylon Jennings and Merle Haggard. Those two genres — classic country and amped-up rock — would eventually join forces in Marks' own music.
