How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria?

Maria & The Gay
From: Manchester, United Kingdom

Maria & The Gay are leading lights of the Manchester queer core scene which include an old friend of the Devil's Ste McCabe (featured on the blog numerous times the latest late last year, It's Anger Time) and Vile Vile Creatures (featured on the blog back in 2009, Curt Vile).

On their scuzzy, scratchy debut album, the optimistically titled Greatest Hits Vol 1, Maria and the Gay serve up short, sharp stabs of DIY garage pop with the fi turned down so lo it's all but disappeared. The duo's bandcamp site includes the tags "bedroom council flat mess noise pop" which is as perfect a summary of the albums sound as you can get. It's truly infectious stuff. They sound like they're having such a good time that you can't help but smile and apply to join their gang.
