Bad Mary - Trash and Glamour

29 May 2023

If you ever thought that rock and roll had had its day, that guitar bands were on the wane, or that perhaps music which is simply about losing yourself in the groove and having a good time, was out of step with the current age, then you need a serious dose of Bad Mary!

Despite what the music press and media pundits might have you believe, rock and roll is alive and kicking, punching and screaming, and generally waking up the (global) neighborhood. And how can I be so sure? Because I have just listened to Trash and Glamour, the new long player from Bad Mary.

A riot of low-slung guitar-driven rock and roll. An explosion of swagger and groove. A battle between pop infectiousness, rock muscle, and punk attitude. Old school, heads-down-no-nonsense-mindless boogie, polished up and repackaged (but not too much) for a new audience.

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it…right?
