Former singer/guitarist for the fabulous New England garage group the Oscillators, Miss Mary has been compared to Holly Golightly, Death by Chocolate, Dressy Bessy, April March, and even Jonathan Richman.
Mixing stripped-down 60s pop with a garage-rock attitude, her solo debut album, Hey Blue! (check it out and/or buy it), had indie kids whistling from Indiana to Indonesia. On Ready 2 Pop, Miss Mary has again teamed up with NYC producer/composer (and former Oscillator) Joel Mellin, for a big bad rock and roll record that growls with grit and bristles with electric intensity. From the opening guitar driven rockers “The One” and “My Friend” to the shoegazer noisepop of “I Don’t Mind (If You Stay Over),” Miss Mary brandishes the razor edge she’s sharpened rocking clubs from Londonderry to London. But she shines just as brightly on the ballads “Dreaming of You” and the stunning “Ordinary, All the Same."
Ready 2 Pop is available for purchase at amazon.com, towerrecords.com, and target.com. It's also availabe for download at napster.com, itunes.com, and emusic.com (if not now, soon).

When you hear someone talking about independent music, it's important to know the difference between what is independent and what is true independent. An independent label that has any kind of backing or connection with major labels, is not a true independent. We hope to see more true independents come to light in the coming years ahead.
Thanks so much for adding the Superheroes. Next show is in Wilmington at the Juggling Gypsy Cafe on Saturday, May 20th! We will have our new CD on CD Baby any day now. Peace, JVS
