Album of the Day - Return of Space Girl - Bad Mary


Bad Mary
Return of Space Girl


Punk rock band Bad Mary just released a new album called, “The Return of Space Girl”, and it will make you want to cut the fingers off your gloves and head bang into oblivion. When I say “punk rock” do not get it confused with the low budget garage rock. This New York group has a few EP’s recorded and mixed by Matt Storm and Francisco Botero at Studio G in Brooklyn and mastered by Fred Kevorkian, who has previously mastered for The White Stripes, Iggy Pop and Debbie Harry. They are professional rockers and this new album is TIGHT just like their jeans.

                If a double kick, crunchy guitars, and sweet sweet vocals is what you are craving, then come get your fill with Bad Mary. “Return of Space Girl” is a 21st century punk master piece. You can tell their roots come from that old school 70’s punk/rock but they really know how to put a current day twist on their music. The vocals go from clean and crisp to a mega phone power house trip. This gives me a heavy Green Day vibe along with the heavy guitar sounds that keep your energy raging!

                “Try Your Best” is a drum heavy song that is song second in the lineup on the new album. The drums come in like a whirlwind and do not stop the whole three minutes. Drummer, Bill Mac, is the father of power house lead singer Amanda Mac. The song starts off with a wicked drum fill and continues with more chest shaking drum fills throughout.

                “The Itch” is their featured music video on their band website and is track four on their latest album. Not only does Amanda sound super alluring in this particular song but her message is engaging and creative.  “You gotta help me, don’t take it from me” is a cry for help comparing her phone to an addiction. The heavy hitting chorus complements the meeker versus by breaking up the song. Heavy guitar solos and gut wrenching bass lines. This song has it all!

This album is on all music streaming platforms and is waiting to spread like a California wild fire throughout the punk-rock community (too soon?). Bad Mary - The Return of Space Girl Album release party is Friday, November 8th. It will be held at Mr Beery's at 4019 Hempstead Turnpike, Bethpage, NY 11714. New York get ready for some fist pumping, heart stopping, hair flipping rock and roll from the “baddest” band in town, Bad Mary.

Tina Here: Bad Mary deserves more radio play. The are Big Bertha type Badass. The original "Space Girl' pulsated with frenetic schism. The latest blows the atomic fairy dust out the galaxy.  Scully and Mulder would be salivating to crack this spacealiscious code.

Song of the day - The Big Swirl - Barney Cortez

Wild opening sequence  draws you in with a sweep of psychedelic, cowboy energy.  barney favors Stetson looks btw.  Eclectic guitar riffs match the lyrical sass and elegant horn accouterments.  Barney comes at you with silky smooth vocals that belie the hard truth as he tells  a little story about his journey.  He thought he should call this track Runaway but The Big Swirl spews intrigue.  He sing about being a coke a cola freak and the failure trap.  So he Runs away. "The Big Swirl" emanates from a song by "Sir Rockaby",  Frank Black tune. The particular use of the term moved Barney. He told me,  " " It's what he calls the sky and the universe and I came to use the phrase as the spectrum of human emotions and experience. Sort of like a rebirth." This is deep and poignant kind of like much of Barney's music and though process.  Barney imparts a casual vibe but his songs are ripe with world wariness. He has a groovy vibe sport

Artist of the Week - Rubber, the band, from Philadelphia

A n ironic set of results when you Google,Rubber the band.  The useful office staple pops up. This useful educational article appears Rubber: A simple introduction - Explain that Stuff There is also a 2010 movie entitled Rubber. ´ Rubber  is a 2010 English-language French independent, satirical horror film about a tire that comes to life and kills people with its psychic powers.” Apparently it’s based on a true story. Rubber, the band, from Philadelphia consists of Andrew Loper (Singer/Co-Writer) & John Della Franco (Producer/Co-Writer). This amiable duo is quickly gaining steam and streams.  They are playing in several local Philly venues drawing crowds with only 2 secured singles out. They say an EP is coming soon. “Contol” snapped and popped into my finely tuning auditory system. The level of sophisticated twists in this melodious song about contemporary angst is right on point. The aspect of pretending to be in control anchors this self admittedly personal tr
