The Virginmarys are a rock band from Macclesfield, England, who started out as a trio in 2006 and later trimmed down to a duo, and they play like two people trying to make the noise of five. Before any label came calling they self-released a run of small-batch EPs that sold out, and in February 2013 the debut album King of Conflict arrived through DoubleCross and Cooking Vinyl, with Wind-up handling America.
It's a blunt, sweaty record of riffs and roaring choruses, and "Dead Man's Shoes" is a good place to start. iTunes made the album an Editors' Choice after "Bang Bang Bang" and "Just a Ride" each took a turn as its Single of the Week, and at the Classic Rock Awards in 2013 King of Conflict was up for Album of the Year while the band took Best Breakthrough. Gil Norton produced the second album, Divides, which Wind-up released on 6 May 2016, led by the single "Motherless Land".
