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 - "Turbulence" - Archpalatine

"Turbulence"  Starts with his utilizing his voice as an instrument along with his nimble fingers taking care of the keys. The low rush of background singers whispering “Palatine” sneaks in as he continues to resonate. As his  voice hits its crescendo the pop of the drums whips in a surprise. The deft use of the kit rushes in, quick and edgy.   The song rolls on with dramatic flair while his voice ascends "We will take the chance to fly away" He plays his vocals again as he sings Taaaturbulence then the gust of the drum takes over like a strong supporting character. A song rich in drama and operatic elements, comparisons to Queen are fair. And again the drumming continues stellar.  Listening to this song is like being enveloped in a short play. I can imagine the majestic costumes and sweeping set design. Also I see color when I listen to “Turbulence”; scarlet, rich gold and shades of charcoal much like the picture I just posted. Interestingly I...

Other Music Documentary

Other Music Documentary Other Music, famously located on 4th Street with a view of Tower Records before it folded,was a destination stop for me. The small shop was neatly packed & stacked with the latest & the greatest vinyl records & CDs. This thoughtful, well crafted documentary truly depicts what it was like to be a guest at Other Music. Puloma Basu & Richard Hatch - Miller  clearly took their time to interview the owners, past staff members & the artists who got their start at OM.   Walking into OM always gave me a happy tingle. Watching this documentary evokes a similar feeling. It made me smile as if I was there pawing through the Big Star Category, the Latin flavored music & of course the latest releases. The scene with a composer clutching his hand written review card was priceless. Hearing one of the Berringer brother's bliss out about having a card at OM was a delight. He gushed "That meant the National was a 'real' ban...
