That is what I need on a shitty Monday afternoon to make my life good and music to pump blood to my old black heart. The Mary Lous are hailing from New Jersey area and this is their first album.
This record contains 10 songs of spooky ukey music. These ghouls play a mixture of horror punk, pop punk and some doo wop and psychobilly thrown in the song structures for good measure. The lyrics are horror enough, but also humor enough and with songs like I Wish Bruce Campbell Was My Boyfriend or Dead Girls Don´t Say No To Donuts, this band is sure to win you over. My personal favorites on the record are Going To The Chapel and When My Brain Falls Out. In some songs, these ghoulettes remind me of early The Creepshow in some segments and also they remind me of something I would listen cruising around on a warm Summer Saturday night on the streets of some small town like Haddonfield ahaha. I love the girls´ voices how they create beautiful harmonies singing and the songs are not your typical in your face-hit-me horror punk but really gentler and more almost ethereal and haunting, but for the fans of darkness and melody, this one is perfect. Go get this one!
