“Whooooaaa! A glorious infection of pure punk chaos.” Iggy Pop
“One of the fiercest debuts in years! Their own savage mutation of punk rock & roll-twisted to perfection and proudly produced by yours truly.” Greg Hetson
The Mary Tyler Whores, notorious punk rock legends from Florida, are finally set to cement their reputation with their debut album ‘As Filthy As We Wanna Be’, due for release on September 25th via Cadiz Music.
It’s a long and treacherous story that starts in the back alleys of South Florida in 1999 where three degenerates with too much attitude and not enough sense accidentally sparked a cult-level punk phenomenon.
Front and centre was Frankie “Crime” Cassara — vocalist, ringleader, and certified public menace. Beside him, slinging riffs like Molotov cocktails, stood Doobie Tyler Whore, a six-string saboteur with a permanent snarl and a knack for turning any stage into a war zone. And behind the kit, pounding out the heartbeat of the apocalypse, was the late Joey Image — yes, that’s Joey Image of “The Misfits” — you know “Horror Business, Night of the Living Dead, Legacy of Brutality”, Proto-Hardcore Pioneers, Eternal Icons, R.I.P. Rest in Punk Joey.
The Mary Tyler Whores shared stages with punk royalty and longtime friends: The Misfits (R.I.P. Joey), Iggy Pop, GBH, Murphy’s Law, The Casualties, The Bouncing Souls, U.S. Bombs, and countless others. The road stories get carved into the annals of madness, even Iggy Pop would stand hysterically amused from the side of the stage when a fan ripped off his prosthetic leg, with a The Mary Tyler Whores sticker on it, and hurled it at Frankie from the front row — who immediately began bashing Doobie over the head with it, creating a legendary moment of punk rock theatre.
Fast-forward to 2023. After more than a decade running wild in California, Frankie decided it was time to dig up the corpse of The Mary Tyler Whores and shock it back to life. He rounded up his best offenders and the OG wrecking crew reported for duty.
With the band back together,Frankie called his old buddy and childhood mentor, Greg Hetson (Circle Jerks, Bad Religion), to sign on, witness, and produce their debut album “As Filthy As We Wanna Be” at his own Hetson Sound Studios in Encino, California.
Today, the band have unleashed a high-octane and thrilling new single called ‘Hell On Wheels’ that comes with an equally disorientating and bewildering video!
“Hell on Wheels” came out of this off-the-wall spark from my partner in crime, Doobie Tyler Whore our rhythm guitar player and co-founder of The Mary Tyler Whores. This guy would roll into practice and just scream this one line over and over: “My grandma drives a ’58.” That was it. No explanation, no structure just that wild-ass line,” says Frankie.
“Turns out it was real. Doobie’s grandmother drove a ’58 Chevy beatnik lunatic, hot-rod savage, addicted to speed. Pure chaos energy. Completely unhinged in the best possible way. That DNA didn’t skip a beat, it went straight into Doobie, straight into this band. Full butterfly effect of noise, gasoline, and bad decisions. I took that one line and built “Hell on Wheels” around it. It became exactly what this band is loud, reckless and filthy. One of the hardest-hitting representations of The Mary Tyler Whores and yeah, a twisted love letter to Doobie’s grandma and everything she accidentally unleashed.
The “Hell on Wheels” video? Forget it. Faust, our visual madman, caught it in a net and burned it alive. No polish, no pretending, just raw unfiltered live energy, fractured edits, insane mixed-media chaos, and explosive SFX. It feels like a train off the rails at 100 miles an hour with no brakes, full-throttle sensory overload.”

In 2024 and 2025, The Mary Tyler Whores injected four rabid singles—and their brilliantly deranged videos—straight into the bloodstream of the underground: “White Trash Girl,” “American Sex Fiend,” “Savage World,” and their sweat-drenched, DEVO-devoted, buck-wild cover of “Whip It.” Each release slammed down like a slow-motion brawl in a bathroom— loud, idiotic, trashy and hypnotically addictive.
On March 2, 2025, fate swung full circle. Iggy Pop and his BBC Radio 6 producer from Iggy’s own “Confidential Show” in London heard “American Sex Fiend” blasting over the airwaves in the UK. Iggy recognized the chaos of his old friends and, without hesitation, added the track to his BBC show, locking it into his playlist and giving The Mary Tyler Whores a full transatlantic salute from the godfather of punk himself.
Shortly after, they were personally invited by Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope of the legendary Insane Clown Posse to appear on the iconic stage at the 2025 Juggalo Festival: Gathering of Legends, where they absolutely annihilated the stage to a massive Juggalo crowd. Whoop Whoop! They torched 2025 with a filthy end-of-the-year riot in California supporting T.S.O.L., then headlined their Holiday Slam Festival downtown L.A., dragging fans into total Christmas carnage.
The Mary Tyler Whores will spend end of 2026-2027 tearing through the UK and Europe and hurled straight into the faces of a generation too soft to survive it. The Mary Tyler Whores come back hotter, meaner, and uglier than ever. They crash into the next wave of beaten-down, fucked-up, worn-out kids who need something filthy enough to bite back. Punk didn’t die, it mutated, sharpened its teeth and started laughing in your face!
Say hello to the next big thing. Hell, maybe the last thing standing.
