Artist of the Day - BAD MARY


Image may contain: 1 person, text


I get to review some pretty awesome bands but this one Takes the Cake! A prickly,punk band out of Long Island New York Bad Mary- fronted by Amanda Mac with the edgy, pretty voice. 
 
They have played all the classic venues like the Trash Bar, and the Highlight Ballroom, were in the lineup of the 2015 Warped Tour in Jonas Beach and the Liberty Music Festival in Philadelphia in 2016.
 
Backed by Mike Staub on vocals and bass, David Henderson on guitar and Bill Mac on drums. They make a thunderous sound that brings on their own strain of punk.
 
With four albums under their belt,  live shows, airtime and awesome songs like the Itch, Motor Mouth, Addicted, and Soapbox, these guys are going places! They are right up there with the Ramones, Blondie and The Clash.
 
Note:  I got to say this, when reading up to do this review I was totally amazed that Billy and Amanda are father and daughter I totally dig it and I'm feeling the love!Image may contain: 3 people, people smiling, grass, outdoor and nature
 
"Return of Space Girl" drops today.  Here is the original.
 
Check out their cover of Human League "Don't You Want Me Baby" (the best codependent song next to Sheryl Crowe's "Favorite Mistake") Bring on the dysfunction kittens.

Tina here:
If DeeDee Ramone and Debbie Harry had love children, it would be this gang of four.  Amanda is a modern day punk princess. There is no room for debate. Listen. Share. Support. All aboard the Bad Mary train.  Go.
