Long Island-based alternative-punk band Bad Mary releases their Better(er) Days EP a collection of re-recorded and remixed versions of songs from their first album Better Days, in celebration of its 10th anniversary.
The video for the song, “I Don’t Know Where The Line Is” was directed by guitarist David Henderson, he shares, “I liked the original video for the song – it was one of the first the band ever shot – and as this was a re-release, I wanted to do a kind of throw-back to that first video. So, the old video is cut into the new video”.

In addition to Henderson on guitar, the band is comprised of Mike Staub (bass/vocals), Amanda Mac (vocals), Bill Mac (drums). Staub shares, “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.” Better(er) Days was engineered, mixed, and mastered by David Henderson.
Their music has garnered airplay on SiriusXM’s Underground Garage, with the song “It’s All Trash” receiving the New Music Spotlight and both “It’s All Trash” and the song “Vibe-icide” earning the title of Coolest Song In The World in 2023. Additionally, the song “Better Days” was recently selected for both the New Music Spotlight and Coolest Song In The World.
Taking the DIY path, Bad Mary released their first album, Better Days, in 2014 and followed it up with three fast and loud EPs: Killing Dinosaurs (2016), We Could Have Saved the World (2016), and Glitter Bomb (2017). In 2019, they delivered The Return of Space Girl, a 33-minute punk rock space opera, followed by an award-winning animated movie of the album. Diving into 2022, Bad Mary brought their distinctive fun-filled sound to the masses with the release of Rock and Roll Classics Vol. 6 and Vol. 7. An EP of all-new material, Trash And Glamour, was released in 2023.
The band is currently writing and recording new songs to be released later this year.
