Short, blistering, aggressive and tongue-in-cheek, Mary Go Down encapsulates Nowhere Special well with its punk rock beginnning, groove metal middle, and smooth and dark reggae outro, plus a sweet guitar solo. What more could you need? Lyrics cover self-judgment, nihilism, dishonesty, and end with a subtle message of hope. Enjoy.
lyrics
Mary Go Down
You justify and rationalize with narratives and alibis
One breath berate, the other praise, your self-respect fades in the haze
You’re manic, crazy, filthy, lazy, hedonistic, nihilistic, self-destructive, loud, disruptive, sick
Egotistic, jingoistic, just another fucked statistic
Masturbation, degradation, only fit for condemnation
Quote from the best, but emulate the worst
Go
I get fucked up and speak with conviction
On hard subjects like love and addiction
Politics, war, sex, drugs, religion
I’m not sure… I don’t know…
The mask comes off, politeness forsaken
Blood running hot, I’m screaming, I’m shaking
Words spilling out with the whiskey on my breath
But the dialogue will not rest.

We are a trio of best friends who are blessed with the opportunity to do what we love together. We blend hard rock,
progressive rock, reggae, ska, punk rock, and metal to create a sound all our own. Do we do it well? You decide! Listen to our debut album Anchorless now!...more
Tiger Shade: Great friends of ours. They make catchy, hilarious tunes that'll put you in the mood to party! We also work together in many ways. Their guitarist helped us record vocals for Anchorless! Nowhere Special
The Expendables created an amazing reggae-rock sound with killer metal elements. They have a laid-back surfer sound, perfect for backyard parties! This album in particular is a big influence on us! Nowhere Special
Stick figure has really influenced us to make deep, meaningful soundscapes, with their beautiful and soulful dub reggae vibes. Burial Ground is amazing front to back and spans the emotional gamut. Nowhere Special
The Long Island metal band's third album etches arena-sized hooks into their jagged compositions, deftly balancing experimental and poppy inclinations. Bandcamp Album of the Day May 12, 2022
