Anthem of the unheard. A cry out for justice. A ballad of the ignored. Walk on Mars will not be silenced with their new single “Hear Us Now” and trust me, we are listening loud and clear.
The production of the piece is stellar. The track starts off with a funky little intro only to be interrupted unapologetically by a power hungry guitar solo. When you think the guitar is all up in your face, powerhouse vocalist Mary Jo steps in. Littered in haunted harmonies, an ominous voice over is heard solidifying the message the metal ballad aims to spread. With dueling guitars in one ear and forceful drums in the other, Walk on Mars has essentially created the soundtrack for an action movie near you.
This song is like walking in slow motion as a building explodes behind you— it’s that badass.
The Boston based band is made up of Berkeley students Mary Jo (vocals), Emmy Barone (guitar), Kyle Reinhardt (guitar), and Rafael Waters (drums). In all seriousness, I would keep an eye on this up and coming act because they’re definitely going somewhere.
