Following two sets of summer fests in Europe (including their Latvian debut), Brooklyn punk band Mary Shelley releases new track, their first in two years. ‘Suicide Homicide’ is a high-octane return for the avant-hard quartet and the first of a fresh batch of songs honed live on stages across North America and over the Atlantic, then recorded at The Creamery back home in Brooklyn. The new song is the first release since 2024, when the band shared their second album Bloodhounds, and the first single from their third LP, out in spring 2027.
Mary Shelley share the following:
“It’s a rollercoaster ride where we strap you in, you’re given a pitchfork in one hand and a flaming torch in the other. We’ll tell you what to believe and what accusations to make. Please don’t ask any questions. We’re on a tight schedule. Your picture will be taken during the ride and available for purchase in the lobby afterwards.”
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 favour of creative impulse, ensuring each new song sounds nothing like their last. and crafting a surprise-packed catalogue that has caught—and kept—people’s attention. All resulting in a rapidly growing following that has led the band to tour the US, Canada and Europe multiple times sharing stages with the likes of CumGirl8, Tigercub, The Dreameaters, Sheer Mag, Weston Estate, even playing The Hives record release party for their most recent record The Hives Forever Forever the Hives. The band has also earned 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.
