Mary Ann Hawkins' compilation of early EP's and unreleased material out in October

Finland’s hottest surf rock band Mary Ann Hawkins are set to release a special compilation of their early EP’s Waves Won’t Lie / Rumble, completed with five unreleased tracks on October 23rd via Svart Records.

This release brings together the band’s self-released EP’s Waves Won’t Lie (2017) and Rumble (2019), both of which have long been sold out and never released on a 12” vinyl before. In addition to the original EP’s, the release features five previously unreleased tracks from the same era. However, these tracks were only recorded in the studio in the spring of 2026 specifically for this release and the EP’s have also been remastered for the compilation.

The new single Lucky Bubble is out now as a taste of the unreleased material featured on the compilation, and the album will be celebrated with a launch party on Saturday October 31st at the Dubrovnik club in Helsinki. Listen to the new single HERE

Mary Ann Hawkins has been a familiar sight at leading festivals, skate events’ after-parties, squats across Central Europe and Finnish concert halls alike. The secret behind the band’s unique sound lies in combining traditional surf and steel guitar – aided, among other things, by the lead saxophone – to create a cinematic atmosphere, ranging all the way to the world of spaghetti westerns, without forgetting the fast-paced rock’n’roll rumble. Their elegant visuals and short-film-style music videos have also captivated both fans and critics alike, and the band has been hailed as Finland’s best live band and the new kings of surf rock.

Waves Won't Lie / Rumble will be released on vinyl, CD and digital platforms on Friday 23^rd of October 2026.
