Polly Panic 'Painkiller' album

Jenette Mackie built Polly Panic on the back of an electrified and often distorted cello married with manic-depressive drums & Plathic like lyrics. Hardly delicate, the music of Polly Panic delivers intense range of emotion and flirts with anger and sarcasm through hissing cello strings and whispers of sweet nothing. Compared to the vocal stylings of PJ Harvey & Tori Amos, Mackie wails out powerfully in charismatic tones that scream to be heard and will not be denied. Bow in hand, she attacks each verse of song with rabid symphony, leaping anxiously up the scales & then plunging back down to the resonating sound of the cello’s bottom lows. The result is a sound truly beautiful, dark and unforgettable.

Jenette Mackie was trained classically at Crane School Of Music in Potsdam NY but chose to drop out of her curriculum early to pursue her own independent study with a private tutor. Soon after she began building on her life-long vision of twisting the classical cello to the dark side of music. After 2-years of struggles and searching, she got the lead on a drummer from Dansville NY who had played in the legendary underground group Poor Old Lu of Seattle Washington. Jenette met Jesse Sprinkle in the fall of 2005 and within the same week they were in The Wavestation Studio in Geneseo NY recording Polly Panic, a 3 song demo CD. They have since played shows in Rochester NY like The Bug Jar and have been very well received. Plans are presently underway for the band to begin work on their first full-length album in Ithaca NY this April.

Polly Panic invites listeners to step out of there own ordinary and into the psyche they ignore. The music combats emotions from our experiences and brings all things dark & obscure to the light by putting fear & panic itself on trial.
