The Virginmarys

The band formed in 2006 as a trio and self-released a limited series of sold-out EPs before releasing their debut album, King of Conflict, on DoubleCross/Cooking Vinyl and Wind Up Records (US) in February 2013.

[1][2] "Motherless Land", the first single from the band's second LP, Divides, was released on 16 February 2016.

The band spent much of their early years touring extensively; they first played at the Download Festival in 2010 and have toured as a support act to Slash, Shinedown, Terrorvision, Skunk Anansie, Eagles of Death Metal, The View, Ash, Feeder, Queens Of The Stone Age, and We Are Scientists, as well as playing their headline gigs throughout UK, Europe, US, and Japan.

[5] The band released a series of self-financed E.P.s during this period and recorded their first mini-album, Cast the First Stone, in 2010, produced by Toby Jepson and mixed by Mike Fraser.

[3][4] In 2017, the band chose to move forward independently and has since released two EPs, 'Sitting Ducks' and 'Devil Keeps Coming' along with the album 'Northern Sun Sessions.'
