Welcome!

we like to classify carl marks & the proletariats as "art in music form," meaning our live set features such capital "A" Artistic supplements as interpretive dance and black & white photography. we also would like to be considered "poetry set to music," like our idols patti smith and jewel. finally, never think that carl marks & the proletariats is just another shit-eating garage band love story. believe us. we're not. no love story involves eating shit.
