Melbourne based Electric Mary has released their new single for 2021, The King of Rock ‘N’ Roll. The new track is a panoramic contemporary rock blast that carries on the traditions of a pure, indestructible genre, one in which the much-loved ARIA charting band douses with combustible elements all their own. From the dizzying opening guitar riff to the supercharged vocal chant hooks at the close, The King of Rock ‘N’ Roll is a victory march, a dynamic slice of blues-tinged indie rock that takes hold and never lets up. It’s no wonder Rock N’ Load Mag EU has said of the band’s reputation, ‘Globally renowned for their explosive brain-bending live performances’,as well as Rocktopia U.K calling them, ‘Compelling, Authentic and Absolutely Vital’, Electric Mary has attracted millions of collective Spotify streams, including the single, Let Me Out, nudging 2 million hits. A guitar riff kicks off proceedings, followed closely by a verse that incorporates the riff into its structure, reminiscent of classic Led Zeppelin. The rhythmic drive holds the track steady as it sways back and forth with sledgehammer intensity. The chorus is restrained and coloured by a break with various textures, like keys and voice, that add an extra dimension. After a couple of fiery guitar solos, the song veers into yet another direction, with a hooky chant reprise that makes for a fitting climax. Having shared the stage with such esteemed artists as Whitesnake, Deep Purple, Judas Priest, Alice Cooper, and Glenn Hughes, to name a few, as well as showcasing at Experience PRS for PRS Guitars in Stevensville, Maryland alongside the likes of Carlos Santana, Dweezil Zappa and Buddy Guy, the band continues to attract huge numbers to their shows. With extensive tours of Europe and elsewhere under its belt, Electric Mary, ‘Whose live performances are becoming the stuff of legends’ (MusicNews.com) and their new release, The King of Rock ‘N’ Roll will undoubtedly usher in a new era for the group, confirming its status as the embodiment of definitive Australian rock.
