Wanting to take all of their bad days and aggressions out on their instruments, Matthew Clark (guitar/ vocals), Amy Abramite (bass), and Richard Chapin (drums) got together Mary's Window for the sake of using their music as an outlet for their problems. Spawned out of the techno-industrial scene of Chicago, IL, each member of Mary's Window shared a healthy dose of cynicism, a bleak perspective towards the world around them, a helping touch of anger and a love of Alice Cooper, Marilyn Manson, and Nine Inch Nails. In 1999, the band had their chance to broadcast their angst outside of Chicago with their first album Whore. ~ Mike DaRonco
