Marque was formed by Colten Williams, Austin Williams, and Beau Kuther in June of 2000. The band played as an instrumental band playing small shows around Bend looking for the right singer. In the end of September the band found singer and rhythm guitar player, Tyler Moss. Tyler’s vocals and guitar input was perfect. The band has since been playing and recording at Sound Smith Studios in Bend.

Taking in influences such as Tool, Incubus, Floater, 311, Silverchair, Pearl Jam, Smashing Pumpkins, and the Deftones to namea few.
