Tampa-based rock outfit Stoned Mary has come a long way from recording songs and videos in quarantine. The quintet is about to release “Petty Fights,” the fourth and final single of a gradually released EP of the same name.

So far, the other three singles give off a similar vibe to Paramore if it veered any further into pop music, so while we will have to wait until a few hours before this more-or-less-of-a-release party to hear the new track, it’ll be a bit of a mood-killer if it turns out to be a ballad.

Tickets to see Stoned Mary, Dirty Rivals, Discord Theory and more play Oscura in Bradenton on Friday, Jan. 19 are still available and start at $10.
