Picture Credit: Mary Ellen   Mary Ellen - He got a Gun Release Date: August 06, 2021 Length: 02:40 Genre: Indie Rock Origin: Dublin , Ireland Irish artist Mary Ellen is one half of Dublin's R&B band Peralta . With "He got a Gun", the gifted musician has released her first solo work. In the single, Mary Ellen takes on the topic of school shootings. The narrative is predominantly told from te point of view of the victims, but in the bridge the perspective is switched, and the listeners get an insight on the thoughts and motivations of the shooter. Different to her works at Peralta, Mary Ellen produces a completely different sound. The mix of leasurely paced Indie and Alternative Rock is a colourfully dark slow jam. The soundscape is completed by atmospheric and thrilling Trip Hop tunes which perfectly adds to the thrill of "He got a Gun".

It happened before when I published a review of HIDE's album "Castration Anxiety" . Mary Bleeds' debut album is a dark and resolute journey through the struggles of our current zeit...

And here is one of them that is worth keeping in mind. Irish drummer Johnny  has started improving his skills on bass and guitar before COVID hit us. In the new situation, the Dublin-based musician made the best of it, and recorded his first solo EP " Lounge Lizard Licks ", of which 'Day in the Sun' was the first single. While I'm writng this review, Johnny  is already working on the sophomore EP. "Day in the Sun" is a heavily rolling Blues hymn. Johnny & The Brewsers play catchy Mississippi Delta tunes and add a powerful Rock'n'Roll guitar to it. Most outstanding element in this butt-moving track is the massive slide on the guitar that adds a burning hot Country vibe to it. Content from the  MangoNews  will always stay in the...
