New York alt punk band Bad Mary have released a re-recorded mix of Forget About It. The song is the first taste of their upcoming 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.
“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. 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.” (bassist Mike Staub)

They hold up a warped mirror to the current culture and remind us that having fun is the best way to give yourself an escape from craziness. The band is currently writing and recording new songs to be released later this year.
