Queens, New York Alt-Rock Trio Mayzie Belle Releases “Beach Bum”

Blends Power Chords, Glide Guitar, And Infectious Power Pop To Usher In Summer

With the official start of summer right around the corner, Alternative Rock Trio Mayzie Belle gives us a song that makes a strong case for “song of the summer” consideration. Powered by infectiously melodic hooks that conjure up memories of The Breeders, lead singer Chrissy Menfi complements the music with powerful vocals and a catchy chorus that matches the laissez-faire mentality that goes best with lazy, summer days.

Mayzie Belle dropped their debut single “Beach Bum” on June 13th via Punkerton Records—a sun-drenched anthem brimming with hazy guitars, infectious melodies, and the kind of carefree attitude that belongs on every summer playlist.

With shimmering glide guitars layered over tight power chord rhythms, “Beach Bum” captures the blissful weightlessness of summer’s simplest pleasures. The song evokes the melodic rawness of The Breeders, anchored by lead vocalist Chrissy Menfi’s powerful delivery and a chorus that sticks like sand on your feet.

“It’s a modern day ‘Summer Lovin’ from Grease,” says Menfi.

Despite its breezy vibe, the song was born from a moment of introspection. Bassist Brandon Malave (also of polka-punk outfit The Dreadnoughts) penned the track after a day spent people-watching on Brighton Beach during a major life transition. The overwhelming sense of freedom he witnessed inspired a song that came together in a single night after bringing the idea to Chrissy.
