Mary Page is a sultry, moody Montreal songwriter who recently moved to NYC and released her debut EP, "All Before the Head of State," last week. Her band includes many musicians whose "other" bands we covered here like bass player Turner Stough (Low Water, Bel Air) and drummer Tim McCoy (Savoir Adore, Rarechild). The EP is a compelling (and rather dark for singer songwriter standards) documentation of her journey from her hometown to the Big Apple. "All Before The Head of State" is available for free download on the band’s bandcamp page. See her live at The Delancey on June 15. - Deli Magazine

Bio
Not too long ago, Montreal songwriter Mary Page settled in Brooklyn, NY, where she found collaborators and companions in bass player Turner Stough (Low Water, Bel Air) and drummer Tim McCoy (Savoir Adore, Rarechild). Together the trio recently completed work on their debut EP All Before The Head of State. A compelling, documentation of her journey – Montreal, New York, whatever lies in the future – the three song set is a perfect introduction to Mary and her band mates. Opener “Fever” is an exorbitant batch of guitar acrobatics, twisting and turning like fighter pilots around Mary’s sly vocal delivery. “Rooftop Dissent” is a sneaky mood piece…one which lies in wait for the “bomb to go off”. It does. “Franz & Wine” concludes the tidy set on a high note. A shameless dose of grungy, electric fuzz, the track is a delirious swirl of melody, mood, texture, and emotion. All Before The Head of State is available for free download on the band’s bandcamp page . The trio is set to tour the East coast of the United States and Canada in the beginning of 2012.
