Editor's note

The Virginmarys: Wigan's loud, political rock trio

A British band known for raw vocals and guitar-heavy tracks that landed on 'Peaky Blinders'.

For a quick sense of their style, try 'Just a Ride' or 'You've Got Your Money, I've Got My Soul'. Both tracks show Dickenson's raw delivery over those heavy guitars.

They've got that straightforward rock approach that cuts through the noise, especially on songs like 'Lost Weekend' and 'Bang Bang Bang'. Their music has appeared on Netflix's 'Peaky Blinders', which gives their sound a wider cultural footprint. You can hear the political edge in tracks like 'Running for My Life', where they address social issues without losing the guitar punch.

Formed in Wigan with Ally Dickenson on vocals and guitar, they released their debut 'King of Conflict' in 2013. After drummer Danny Wood left in 2014, Mike Ellis joined, and they put out 'Divides' in 2016 and 'Northern Soul' in 2019. They've toured with Stone Temple Pilots and Slash, keeping that loud guitar sound consistent across the albums.
