PlanetMosh Keeping it Metal
Welcome back to the dynamic duo of The Virginmarys, unleashing a brand new single ‘Northwest Coast’, taken from an upcoming studio album The House Beyond The Fires via Rock People Management on November 1st 2024. It’s basically an ode to the ‘Northwest Coast’, and are also undertaking an extensive 19 date headlining tour that starts in their hometown of Macclesfield, ending in London.
To my ears, it’s a fist fight in the pub car park brawl attitude, flexing its muscles throughout this belligerent four frantic minutes of a jabbing main riff, an almost spoken word lead vocal, shout em out loud and proud choruses, hitting new levels of ferocity in a vehement midsection that threatens to go off the rails but stays on the right side of the tracks from the metronomic drum patterns from Danny Dolan!
Lead Singer and guitarist Ally Dickety adds,“Northwest coast is the first single to be released from the album. It’s a perfect glimpse of what’s to come. It starts with one of the best riffs I’ve written, and the groove works incredibly well. The track fuses different genres and is a little ‘tongue in cheek’, lyrically repping the gritty realness and beauty of the Northwest of England.”
Ally also adds “The album carries a deep, personal significance to the band. This album is a tribute to Danny’s dad, Tommy Dolan who passed away last year. It’s difficult to articulate how much he meant to us and how deep the grief runs within all who loved him. The LP is a direct reference to his notorious shop, The House Of Fires.”
