Prey For Maria have the chops and the talent to go far outside the local area. Their songs are very well written and the vocal melodies sound thought out and serve to further the mass accessibility that is needed to achieve that all important radio play that'll take them to the next level. Being a hard rock band with a female vocalist, you can't help but make comparisons to bands like Evanesence, but Prey For Maria are more than a copycat band. True, they combine similar pumped up metal riffs with melodic female vocals, but they do it in their own way, just as every 'groove metal' band doesn't sound like Pantera. All in all, I really dig their sound and I am glad to have "discovered" them for myself. To check out Prey For Maria for yourself you can go to their main site, http://preyformaria.com or hit 'em up at http://myspace.com/preyformaria to hear the afore mentioned songs as well as a couple more tracks that rock just as hard. While you're there you can see where they'll be playing live and let 'em know that you heard about them in ME! - ME Magazine March 2008
"I Like the band. You have a signature sound and I liked the songs as well. The look is there and something that would sell itself. The band looks to definitely have some future potential. I could tell that you all take it seriously. I could tell w/out asking that at some time she has had some vocal lessons. If I'm right/wrong tell me, because she has great vocal control"- Sagabu (Online Ohio Music Columnist)
I just got to see Leitchfield Kentucky's Prey For Maria again recently and they sound really good. They're very nice people and as appreciative musicians as you can find. They have come into their own and are sounding better than ever, maybe taking the place formerly held by the band Never The Man for top female-fronted band. Jessica Clemons' vocals were very powerful and focused the night I saw them. The only thing they need to work on is publicity.. If you like Lacuna coil and Flyleaf, do yourself a favor and listen to Prey For Maria. - Eddy Metal
Prey For Maria is a very good new band I was proud to have played my showcase.
The audience loved them. They kind of remind me of Lacuna Coil or Evanescense, with a little bit of a punk-rock style added in for good measure.
I look for good things from this group, they are nice people who are a pleasure to work with. Listen up. bands, give them a chance and invite them on some of your shows. You won't regret it. - Eddy Metal
