VELCRO MARY
Jason Erb is behind the smooth indie
rock that is Velcro Mary. Written, preformed, recorded, mixed and
mastered by this one man band, who comes from the cool scene that is coming
out of North Carolina, USA. A love of babes dancing on camera and mid
90s alt rock, is what this band is all about. I was luckily enough to
have a listen Velcro Mary's new album Leave A Light On before it's
release on the 6th of Nov (STATES TIME). What I loved
about this album is that it's varied. There is that sexy bass and
drum, which creates that feeling of closing your eyes and letting your
body move freely. That soft rock story telling feel. That heavy
electric guitar that drives the song. And that voice which doesn't
take away from the music nor does it dominate it.
Stand out tracks for me is One and
Done~ the most acoustic track on the album, something you could roll
down the windows in your car and cruise on a summer day to. Whilst
the breeziness of the melody is enjoyable, the lyrics for me tell a
serious story about judgement and the power of a drink.
Another stand out is Freezing to death-
Love the riff and the clip are both weird but brilliant!
Velcro Mary just released a new
clip for Smoke the other day just before the album release. Its not
my favourite song on the album and the film clip is a little awkward to watch, but give it a listen as it shows another tone of the album.
It just shows you how far technology
has come with this whole album being made from one man DIY style!
