Minneapolis-based indie rocker Mary Strand is back with her powerful new single "Annunciation". The new single is her first since her album "I Don't Need Your Permission" came out in 2025, and it kicks things off with a powerful guitar solo and a rush of drums welcoming you into the song.
... a rip-roaring, guitar-heavy indie rock anthem that channel angsty resolve into a powerful stance against gun violence.
Her vocals have not diminished whatsoever over the year, sounding just as good as when we last checked in with her. It's a proper rip-roaring rock song with strong guitar solos and sharp, garish rock hooks, showcasing her and her band's sound wonderfully.
The song is all about unwavering resolve against the normalisation of gun violence. With those angsty vocals mixed into the song, it sounds like a proper anthem for those who feel gun violence should not be normalised, fed up and demanding change while holding onto hope that something will be done.
Released via Hygh Tension Records/Virgin Music Group, the track is sure to get plenty of new followers on board and reignite previous fans' interest in her sound, so be sure to listen to this as soon as you can.
