Can’t get enough of The Virginmarys and their new song, Motherless Land

February 16, 2016

  We are only weeks away from the return of The Virginmarys as they are set to tour with Shinedown in March 2016!  I have been hooked on them from the first time I heard them several years ago. They have such a vibrant punk edge rock sound that will have you begging for more. They are set to release their new album, Divides on May 6th. You can check out their new song, Motherless Land. The describe the song as “It’s a song about escape and it’s full of questions of what we’re collectively doing in 2016. It’s about striving for peace, love and truth.”   The Virginmarys are an incredible live band and sound just as awesome as their recordings. Ally Dickaty on vocals/guitar is fierce as he bounces around and fills the room with emotionally driven lyrics. Matt Rose on bass is a wild man, and you can feel the adrenaline that is powering him. Danny Dolan on drums is always throwing out some cheeky drum fills as he maintains a 150% energy overload.
