Mary Kelly

Mary Kelly is a five-piece grungecore band from Basingstoke, active from 2008. The group plays a mix associated with noise, punk, screamo, alt. rock and guitars, and releases material through short-format singles rather than albums in the available record.

Line-up

The band consists of Simon Gibbins on vocals, Matt Spencer and Breeze on guitar, Sean Gisby on bass, and Martin Sylvester on drums.

Releases

Mary Kelly issue two singles: I’m Not A Buddhist and Stained Glass Weirdo.

Style and reception

The band’s lyrics are associated with Jack the Ripper imagery, presented with humour. Their sound is described as loud and fast, with heavy riffing, distorted vocals and a hardcore edge, and they are also noted for bridging different genres while keeping a strong live appeal.

Online presence

Mary Kelly maintain a band website and accounts on Facebook, Twitter, Bandcamp, YouTube and Myspace.
