Mary Ann is the newest 7' put out by Indiana Punk ROck band: Squirtgun. If you've have heard Squirtgun, then this album will sound familiar. No new tricks, No new sounds. Just PoP-PunK at one of it's greatest highs. Mary Ann is a 4 song explosion of power chords and jumpy basslines. With the addition of Matt Leonard on Rhythm Guitar the record has a little fuller sound.

Lyrically, the songs make a lot more sense, shall I say, than the songs off of the Squirtgun LP. I mean, you can actually get a symbolence of the meaning behind the songs on this release.

Let's get personal for a minute. I LOVED IT! Squirtgun continues to be my favorite LookOut band, ever. (yes even better than Green Day!), and if they continue to release great music like what's on thier new Mary Ann EP, then they shall always be my favorite.

If you have never heard Squirtgun, then this one will hook you, if you never liked Squirtgun, give this one a taste. I swear it's the spice of thier collection. And if you hate Pop-Lookout-Punk all together. Then why the HELL are you reading this review. :)
