About Salute Mary
Edinburgh based three-piece SALUTE MARY’s appreciation for the pioneering musicians of the 80s and 90s are what laid the foundation for the band’s sound. With an evolving approach and focused, streamlined sound, Salute Mary pounds with a weighty, dark alt-rock fervour with post-rock elements adding depth to a broad and diverse direction for the band.
Calum, Chris and Steve met in Edinburgh and after several months of jam sessions, Salute Mary hit upon their sound. Intense live shows and debut EP release ‘Lonely Escapades’ (2010) led to a passionate regional fan base and critical acclaim. In 2011, Salute Mary began working on a double A side single ‘Pacifying Hungry Ghosts/Rubella Rubata’ with engineer Sam Smith (Green Door Studios, Chem 19) the new single will be released in May.
