MARY SHAW

It is my sentiment that women have a great deal more power, socially, than men. It's really up to them who's having sex on any given night. Really, the only clear-cut advantage we men have over them is the ability to scream like psycho killers . and piss standing up.



Mary Shaw does what Arch Enemy does: features a bunch of attractive women (and one attractive dude) beating the crap out of you while singing like dudes. "We usually just explain to people that we have an old skool power metal root to us . but with breakdowns and 'tough guy (girl)' vocals," said guitarist Jennica. "Other than that . we like to dabble in lots of fingerstyle tapping and some rock 'n' roll swing riffs.



"We write as a band," she continued. "So many bands don't do that anymore; whether it's a time issue or a distance and gas issue. We also try to throw things into our songs that can 'remind' the crowd that most of us are female, like adding in melodic parts or clean vocals. Our lyrics/song titles can sometimes let guys in on our side a little bit, as well. We like to write about sex from our points of view in a raunchy/metal/sleazy sort of way." God they're fucking mean. See them at the Myspace Internet Café in Roseville on September 22 and be amazed.kill your radio
