Punk music you can dance to. That’s what you get from the genre-hopping, instrument-swapping members of Brooklyn’s Mary Shelley. Post-punk rhythms are imbued with elements of dance/disco beats, shoegaze, hip-hop and more, while influences stretch across generations, sounds and styles, ricocheting in range from IDLES to Talking Heads, Radiohead to Kendrick Lamar, Dolly Parton to Viagra Boys. Always, the electric four-piece scraps rules in favor of creative impulse, ensuring each new song sounds nothing like their last. and crafting a surprise-packed catalog that has caught—and kept—people’s attention. All resulting in a rapidly growing following that has led the band to share stages with the likes of Tigercub, Boy Jr., Sheer Mag and more, as well as earn the support of Gogol Bordello’s Eugene Hütz, who released two songs by the band as part of Casa Gogol’s NYContinuity Series, and took them along as support on Gogol Bordello’s 2024 West Coast tour.
