That’s My Story, the sophomore release from Rhode Island-based anthemic rock group Molly Maguires, melds honest, heartfelt lyricism, brash songwriting, and a healthy dose of New England grit into symphonic garage masterpiece.

Lee Taylor doesn’t have a big discography or countless videos on YouTube, but what she lacks in online media is reinforced by boisterous vocal chops and spot-on charisma.
