Album Notes

The Hail Marys
Faith, Forgiveness, Sweet Revenge
Self-released

St Louis street-rockers with a foxy blonde up front. She (Katie), has a nice Brody-esque croak and the fellas ably back her up with glammy melodies and tough, snarly rock n’ roll. I searched this one high n’ low for their definitive rock n’ roll anthem, but I don’t think they’ve written it yet. In the meantime, there’s a slew of black-eyed party-wreckers to contend with, including “Friday Nite Show” which sounds a like a punky Joan Jett tune, the furious gear-jammer “Faster Pussycat” (no relation to Taime Downe, but probably a close cuzzin to Tura Satana), and the oddly affecting “I’ll Be Ok”, which is the cry-in-your-beer number. If your prone to that sorta behavior. Like I said, their big, timeless hit ain’t here yet, but I am sure they will write it soon. The more I listen to this, the more I like it. What can I say? I am charmed. Fans of the Distillers, Dropkick Murphys, Boondock Saints (the movie), all that bust-your-nose-then-buy-you-a-drink stuff, oughta love this one.
