A New Westminster-based blues-punk-rock band is celebrating the release of a new EP.
Marry Me is launching the new EP Itchy Blood on July 16 at Studio Records in Vancouver.
The band is made up of “proud citizens of downtown New Westminster”: Danny Lovelock on guitar and vocals, Natalee Fera on bass and vocals and Kenny Dietrich on drums.
Itchy Blood is a followup to the group’s 2014 self-titled LP featuring the single Ignite (the video for which was shot in New Westminster). The new album was written right here in New West, at the band’s jam space in Diamond Sharp Studios on Front Street.
In a press release, the band members note that their new EP “is a testament to our sound maturing from pubescent adolescent to resolute rebel, and the record is a unique sophomore album that transports listeners to a dynamic live show.”
“Starting with the forging of a drum beat base to a blue-punk riff and adding signature Marry Me vocals, the desired characteristics of our live show were captured for the EP: magnetic energy, skilful musicianship and the arousing thrill of a connected trio.”
The group is heading out on tour around B.C. and Alberta in support of Itchy Blood, joined by the Calgary funk-folk-rock group Burlap Sac.
