After grabbing us by the hair, they shredded through an impressively intense set full of hard-punk, literary, IDLES-style lyrics, and jangly indie pop all rolled into one. There\u2019s seemingly no influence or genre out of bounds for Mary Shelley, blending shoegaze, post-punk, and even bits of pieces of hip-hop to produce an altered state that I still can\u2019t quite explain. Swapping instruments, swapping sounds, and crushing beers. Anyone worried about the death of punk is simply unwilling to recognize this reanimated lifeform as the real thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Like the author they\u2019re named after, Mary Shelley is a frightening, exhilarating subversion of whatever it is you expect going in\u2014even if you arrive with no idea who they are, both old-fashioned and totally novel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Photos by Jacob Zweig<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"533\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/panm360.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_0960-ms-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-144173\" srcset=\"https:\/\/panm360.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_0960-ms-scaled.jpg 533w, https:\/\/panm360.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_0960-ms-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/panm360.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_0960-ms-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/panm360.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_0960-ms-1365x2048.jpg 1365w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 533px) 100vw, 533px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arriving at the dark, liminal space of Bar du Curling, we\u2019re immediately met with Brooklyn punk outfit Mary Shelley.
