The Mars McClanes “The Worriers”

The Mars McClanes are certainly here to leave their marks. Punchy drum beats and fearless guitar have their own charms complementing each other in a rock-funk, sensational way that instantly explodes in your ears like fireworks. It poses a strong, characteristic presence that carries out into their music and interestingly, the spark and inspiration is unlimited.

The power track marks the first release for The Mars McClanes after nearly two decades. Coming back isn’t the same as never leaving, and by that, it translated into history and introspective, splashing energy into “The Worriers,” a cautionary tale for the cautious. It’s psychotic, bearing much mental power in its rhythm and pace, but the softly road-worn, calm vocal pulls it back before it burns out. It’s the perfect mix of energy and wisdom — which is the sound of The Mars McClanes in 2022.

The band goes way back to the early days, and their music always have some of those cross-century marks and twangs that worth exploring. “The Worriers” at times give you the impression that it travels into the current world from the 70s, stopping at a gas station in the early 00s, before it gets all pumps up in the present day. It’s fearless, loud, sparse, but not overwhelming. There’s passion and new energy that sparks of a rebirth. At the same time, it bears the long sigh when you gaze into the horizon.

“The Worriers” also features a poised guitar lick that seems to never leaving your head, as well as the strong impression it leaves. “Riddle,” the latest release from the band is an official release of the band’s signature tune, which only seems to be taking their characteristic creative sparks further. Additionally, the song is also the band’s signature tune from the glorious days.
