If your surname was Coogan and
your dad had been in an influential 90s band while your uncle was a Marmite
comedian of the modern ages you would probably drop it to see if you could be
taken seriously on your own. Such is the case with frontwoman Mary Joanna who
is here with a Mancunian supergroup behind her to present her debut single
'Wasted'. The soft shuffle of the drums and gentle guitars are seductive enough
but Mary Joanna's vocals are the real winner here as she sings a siren song
that essentially says "you will fall in love with me and I will show
absolutely no interest in you unless it benefits me to do so". I'm not
saying she's a bitch, oh no, it's just that our heroine has already mastered
that art of rock'n'roll cool that so many aspire to and never achieve. A muted
but intriguing debut, then, but there's more to come here, of that I am sure.
