New York Alternative Punk band Bad Mary has released a re-recorded mix of their song “Forget About It” on March 5th, 2024. The song is the first release from their Better(er) Days EP, which is a collection of re-recorded and remixed versions of the songs from their first album Better Days, in celebration of its 10th Anniversary. It will arrive later this Spring.

Bassist Mike Staub explains:

“Forget About It” is a song we’ve been playing in our sets for years. It’s probably the song that we have played the most as a band. An important part of every set, it’s been a crowd favorite forever. With Better(er) Days we really wanted to capture the live energy and the chaos of a song with less than two chords, one line of lyrics, and a one-note guitar solo.

Staub adds about their EP:

For Better(er) Days we wanted to revisit some of our favorites from our first record and rerecord them to celebrate the album’s 10th anniversary. We love those songs and so many of them are still in our live sets, but we wanted to have versions of those songs that matched the recording and production on our later stuff. We think it’s a fun way to celebrate the album and we hope you like these new versions.

In addition to Staub (bass/vocals), Bad Mary is Amanda Mac (vocals), Bill Mac (drums), and David Henderson (guitar). The band is currently writing and recording new songs to be released later this year.
