Mary Kelly are from Basingstoke, UK and formed in 2007 – 5 guys who couldn’t play their instruments and have learned as they’ve gone along, much to the chagrin of the audience in the early days.
We call our genre grungecore trash which is along the lines of hardcore / screamo / alt. rock. We don’t specifically want to sound like another band, so we just come up with ideas and see what comes out.
We recorded our first proper single in 2011 called I’m Not A Buddhist (I’m Just Weak), which we did a video for (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__L3MVEFvqM) and released on iTunes, this was followed up in 2012 with our second single, Stained Glass Weirdo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31342EXTmF0).
The band are currently working on a video for a third single called Penny Dreadful and are writing the final few songs for our debut album, Modus Operandi.
Members: Simon Gibbins (vocals), Matt Spencer (guitar), Dan Ambrose aka Breeze (guitar), Sean Gisby (bass) and Martin Sylvester (drums)

“They can comfortably bridge genres and maintain their appeal. These guys always put a lot into their shows”
- Neil Duncan, Issue Punkzine
“AFI via Refused… dreamily distorted vocals, humpingly heavy riffing, hardcore attitude and a hellova lot of noise… we like..”
