The Margaret Hooligans release new single

Hailing from Bala Cynwyd in Pennsylvania, The Margaret Hooligans is a music duo formed by Meg Cratty and Mr. Strontium. With Meg playing the electric ukulele and offering lead vocals, Mr. Strontium plays drums and backing vocals, the pair make music influenced by the likes of The Who, New Orleans, James Brown, Miles Davis, Soul Train, The White Stripes, Grateful Dead and Fiona Apple.

Offering their own sound of raucous alternative rock, while they don’t take themselves too seriously, they’re certainly serious about their sonic vision. Blending elements of garage rock, funk and soul they create an epic and anthemic sound that’s more than the sum of it’s parts.

Since making their studio recording debut last year with the single titled “Going to a Yo-Yo Ma”, they followed it up with their first full-length release with the album Boombox Blasts. This year they’ve shown no sign of slowing down, dropping a string of new singles and share one of their recent works with the track “Red Rider”.

The third single from their forthcoming sophomore record, Turntable Tribulations, set to be released in October, “Red Rider” showcases the very best of The Margaret Hooligans fuzzed-out energetic rock sound. Recorded in the basement of Piety Street Publishing, the single was mixed and mastered by Jon Huxtable of Smallfish Recordings, and was produced by the band’s very own Mr. Strontium.

Laying down their unconventional instrumentation, they still spin a driving rock sound. Written as a reinterpretation of the classic Red Riding Hood fairytale, with their recent single The Margaret Hooligan offer a memorable and worthy track that builds further excitement for the upcoming album and for them as a new band.
