Punk music you can dance to.
This is exactly what the cross-genre, instrument-swapping members of Mary Shelley from Brooklyn deliver. Post-punk rhythms are enriched with elements of dance, disco beats, shoegaze, hip-hop and much more, while the influences span generations, soundscapes and styles - from IDLES to Talking Heads, from Radiohead to Kendrick Lamar, from Dolly Parton to Viagra Boys.

On their debut single "Bourgeois de Ville", The Deli wrote: "It'll probably make you wanna dance the pogo or smash things, or maybe just topple over a vase due to your spasmodic dancing"

It's this kind of weird #energy that feeds Mary Shelley's live shows and drives loyal fans to fill clubs, theaters, basements and backyards alike. From New York to the UK and now Germany, people come to move strangely - and be moved - while the band serves up songs that are powerful, self-deprecating and uncomfortable.

"One of the festival's undisputed highlights. Their brand of energetic post-punk falling somewhere between the angular elegance of Devo or Talking Heads and all-out assault of Viagra Boys or even Dead Kennedys." - Under the Radar
