Nameless Friends unveil haunting new single ‘Mary’

Toronto glam-punk outfit Nameless Friends return with ‘Mary’, a slow-burning eruption of grief, generational trauma, and quiet rebellion.

Built on swelling guitars and restrained fury, ‘Mary’ begins in tenderness before breaking into a full-throttle assault, mirroring the emotional rupture of being expected to endure in silence. The track’s title nods to a four-generation tradition in vocalist Number One’s family, where women inherited the name Mary along with invisible burdens.

The result is devastatingly honest: part elegy, part catharsis, with music that does the screaming when words fail.

‘Mary’ is the lead track from the band’s double single release and further cements Nameless Friends as a fearless, heart-on-sleeve force in Canada’s heavy alt scene.
