Good Day Noir Family,
Mary Strand steps into the fray with “Least of All Her”, a song that doesn’t shy away from the brutal realities too often swept under the rug.
Least of All Her is Mary Strand’s Single Out Now
With her band behind her, she delivers a track that balances raw emotion and gritty instrumentation with a sense of urgency.
The guitar enters with a crunchy strum that sets a tone of unrest. There’s a shadow of ’90s alternative rock here—think Zombie-era tension—but this isn’t nostalgic mimicry. It feels current, charged with purpose. Mary’s voice doesn’t ask for attention; it demands it. There’s an intensity in her delivery that makes it clear this story matters.
Lyrically, the song addresses domestic violence, an issue that stretches across borders and cultures. Mary doesn’t romanticise it or cloak it in metaphor. The lyrics strike directly, with conviction, and the way her vocals carry them shows how personal this message is. It’s music used as a mirror and a megaphone.
The rhythm section keeps things on edge, and the chord progression—occasionally jagged, occasionally mournful—perfectly reflects the instability and fear the song explores. Dissonant moments break through just when things feel settled, reminding the listener that safety isn’t always a given.
Mary Strand and her band deliver something real here. It’s not meant for background listening. It’s meant to be felt.

Unflinching!
We’re all affected by domestic violence. Mary Strand feels strongly that everyone in a violent situation needs to believe they have the strength and support to take action and get out. “Least of All Her” celebrates that strength: it’s about power and survival, not weakness. Strand wants women in these situations to know that we have their back.
Mary Strand, a lawyer-turned-author and now punk rock songwriter, is carving out a fresh musical identity with her band, The Garage. Featuring Ryan Smith of Soul Asylum, Mark Wade of The Melismatics, and her son Jack Strand.
