"Make Me Cry" is Scary Mansion second full-lenght and is surely the world’s only thunderstick/bass/drums rock trio, the band is most notable for its rare mix of sentimental melody and rocky noise, often likened to Weezer and The Pixies. Hayes’s lyrics embody the alienated cleverness of Morrissey or Stephen Merritt. On ’Scum Inside’, she laments, ’When I think of all the scum inside, I just die.’

On the chorus of ’1%’, she recites over and over, ’You 1% like yourself.’ And all the while the music goes from clean to distorted, from comforting to explosive.
