I found the EP on a random search and thought the cover looked interesting, and took a listen. 메리제인 reminds me of a lot of more ballad-esque rock bands with slower tempos and female vocals. 1st EP isn’t necessarily the most original release, though there is a lot of good music on the six tracks.

I did enjoy the Korean/English vocal mix that blended perfectly though if I looked at the lyrics on paper, they might look strange. It’s melodic in the delivery and fits an OST very well and I’m sure that could rocket the band to notoriety. Among the rock tracks and dispersed in the music, I feel a blues undertone that adds a lot to the overall tone of the EP.

Ballad rock fans will enjoy this 2010 release, and I’m looking forward to future releases.
