Les Shirley deliver their anthemic new single ‘Hail Mary’
Montreal rock trio Les Shirley crank everything up on ‘Hail Mary’, the explosive title-track from their third full-length album.
Built around enormous guitars, punchy melodies and a chorus seemingly designed to be screamed from the front row, the single distils the band’s combination of rock ‘n’ roll swagger and punk attitude into one exhilarating blast.
‘Hail Mary’ takes aim at patriarchy and inequality, while challenging expectations around women remaining agreeable or silent. But rather than delivering that frustration with a straight face, Les Shirley lean into biting humour and provocative songwriting, turning defiance into something gleefully infectious.
Loud, sharp and gloriously unapologetic, ‘Hail Mary’ is Les Shirley at full force; a rock anthem with something to say and absolutely no intention of saying it quietly.
