THE MARY TYLER WHORES have a new video which they're premiering with Vive Le Rock!
Despite originally coming together in 1999, new single 'Hell On Wheels' is taken from the infamous Florida quintet's debut album As Filthy As We Wanna Be, produced by Circle Jerks and Bad Religion's Greg Hetson.
"'Hell On Wheels' came out of this off-the-wall spark from my partner in crime, Doobie Tyler Whore our rhythm guitar player and co-founder of The Mary Tyler Whores," says frontman Frankie 'Crime' Cassara. "This guy would roll into practice and just scream this one line over and over: “My grandma drives a ’58.” That was it. No explanation, no structure just that wild-ass line,” says Frankie.
“Turns out it was real. Doobie’s grandmother drove a ’58 Chevy beatnik lunatic, hot-rod savage, addicted to speed. Pure chaos energy. Completely unhinged in the best possible way. That DNA didn’t skip a beat, it went straight into Doobie, straight into this band. Full butterfly effect of noise, gasoline, and bad decisions. I took that one line and built 'Hell On Wheels' around it. It became exactly what this band is loud, reckless and filthy. One of the hardest-hitting representations of The Mary Tyler Whores and yeah, a twisted love letter to Doobie’s grandma and everything she accidentally unleashed.
"The 'Hell On Wheels' video? Forget it. Faust, our visual madman, caught it in a net and burned it alive. No polish, no pretending, just raw unfiltered live energy, fractured edits, insane mixed-media chaos, and explosive SFX. It feels like a train off the rails at 100 miles an hour with no brakes, full-throttle sensory overload.”
As Filthy As We Wanna Be is out on 25th September through Cadiz Music.
