World-renowned Melbourne-based rock band Electric Mary has released 3 Days Gone, the follow-up to last year’s hard rock smash, The King of Rock ‘N’ Roll. The revered ARIA charting band’s latest is an unrelenting classic rock firestorm featuring the band’s trademark guitar attack, a soaring blues rock vocal and a pummelling rhythmic centre. As the band says about the new single, ‘The dreaded covid hit all of us smack bang in the face we were all blindsided, and it took its toll on everyone and everything, especially the music industry. 3 Days Gone tells just one of the tales that we struggled through to keep things on track the way it used to taste.’ And one taste of 3 Days Gone and the power and might of rock ‘n’ roll will all come flooding back. Following a blazing intro, incorporating a perpetually dizzying guitar riff and a fast and growling groove, the verse section reveals the narrative set-up, a trip into a netherworld of a being down in the dirt and fleeing cheap motels. The overall heaviness is soon juxtaposed with a chorus that resolves seamlessly and contains a melodic sensibility that acts as a welcome dynamic. 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 massive numbers to their shows. Together Rusty, Pete, Alex, Brett and Spyda proudly make a sound that delves deep into the history of rock and blues, transforming it into a style all their own. 3 Days Gone is yet another development in the band’s extraordinary history and will undoubtedly generate worldwide interest and attract more rock devotees to their existing legion of fans. 3 Days Gone is Australian-made rock at its most persuasive and definitive.
