A Refreshing new twist in today’s oversaturated scene, this album proves melody and harmony can still be associated with driving beats and heavy guitar licks. The band reminds us the words, Pop, Rock, Punk, and Singer Songwriter can be synonymous with each other, and live in harmony on a record entitled Memento Mori. With a unique approach, Maryz Eyez features 4 songwriters and 4 lead singers. Although Ryan Wagler holds the lead mic on nearly half of the tunes, the rest of the album is whored from singer to singer and songwriter to songwriter. The sound is both engaging and driving, but at the same time tender to the ear and pleasant to the soul. A wide array of influence can be noted ranging from Social Distortion, Green Day, and Sublime to The Beach Boys, The Beatles, and Johnny Cash; all the while crafting a tightly produced, hookladen rock album appealing to indie, rock, punk, and pop fans alike. Maryz Eyez: Memento Mori, takes us on a ride of ups and downs. From the Latin/Dance vibe of the title track, to the relentless chaos of “Killing Time”, then back to the gentle acoustics of “The Ride into Charlotte”; we find ourselves in a place strangely familiar yet new and refreshing. Though the album is pop friendly, it is not short on rock. Staying true to their roots, these Detroit natives deliver an ensemble of hits that leave the listener singing along to every hook and commanding them to spin the record another round. Here is an album that openly accepts optimism on one hand but questions the reasons why on another. We can all relate to Memento Mori through an understanding of the Latin phrase; “Remember that you are mortal, remember you will die”. The album fittingly reveals we must live each day to its fullest, for tomorrow may not remember us.
