The Mary Onettes

The Mary Onettes are an indie rock band formed in the town of J?nk?ping, Sweden in 2000. The members are brothers Philip Ekstr?m & Henrik Ekstr?m plus Simon Fransson and Petter Agur?n. Inspired by guitar pop from the 80's and indie bands from the 90's, The Mary Onettes were successful in releasing one EP with Sony/BMG before being dropped. Their sound has been likened to Echo & the Bunnymen, The Church, The Smiths, The Cure and The Jesus and Mary Chain.
