I get a sheaf of emails from publicists and marketing firms looking to get their artists noticed. To be honest, I don't read them as often as I used to. But this week I perused an email from Ariel Publicity pointing me to a new band I just can't get enough of.

Bred in Britan but based in Austin, mrandmrsmays features the husband-and-wife combo of James Mays (who goes by The Reverend) and Kate Kind:

"mrandmrsmays the name is a bit of a joke and it isn't. We are a real normal ol' married couple, which isn't that glamorous, yet we full-on freak out on stage, so if you're expecting a sweet safe married couple… that's not what you are going to get, on stage anyway" says Kate Kind – the 'mrs' of the band.
 
The Austin, TX based and self-described indietronic/dance/rockers with a punk vibe will be releasing their self-titled debut July 15.
 
"mrandmrsmays is a band of many. We started as a duo, as a writing exercise. We both were working on solo projects when we met in New York. Then, we started playing out together as a natural progression and found we got 6 times the tips singing together, so that was that really. Adding friends into this sound and sharing the musical experience as an ensemble has been – and is – a trip."

As mrs says above, the debut album from mrandmrsmays will be out next week. And after listening to these full-track samples, I can't wait to hear the CD.

"Remedy"

"BO5"

"Lifeline"
