Press Reviews Mary's Laugh is the ska-punk resurrection of The Go-Go's, complete with surf rock drums and girl group harmonies. If given a chance, Mary's Laugh can revive punk rock again. Actually, punk rock is making somewhat of a commerical resurgence, with Blink 182 at the top of the charts and Weezer making the comeback of the decade. But artistically, the scene needs Mary's Laugh, which is the punk rock equivalent of a defibrillator. Kelly and Dee are jubilant, energetic vocalists, who show unflagging enthusiasim and verve, whether they do a cover of "Summer '69" or they beweail horrible service in "Pizza Man." "Action Speaks" is a haunting song of estranged love in the tradititon of Blondie's "Call Me" and No Doubt's "Don't Speak." But their cover of "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" is worth the price of admission. The saxaphone section (Peg Hennessy and Mary Bufardi (the band's name sake) plays mellifluously and Kelly's vocals are full of hurt and regret when she moans, "Some boys take a beautiful girl/ And hide her away from the rest of the world." My only complaints about the CD are that there are not more songs and it is only a demo, so the production is of poor quality. With a full legnth LP in the works though, Mary's Laugh has a bright future, giving punk rock a much needed kick in the ass. ~ Mo Abraham Long Island Entertainment August 2001
