"...Jersey's version of Joe Satriani." -Bob Makin, Courier News

"Mark Edward's guitar playing smokes as well.  He's got some great chops and great riffing skills.  Mark is also a fellow Flying V player, we're a real breed these days and it's great that he plays guitars made for gods!  Mark Edwards's takes an extended lead section and rips away.  Great job Mark..." -Nick Martinelli, The Shredzone.com (read full review online here)
