Taranaki’s alt-indie rock sensation, The Mara, is back with not one, but two brand new singles set to drop this Friday! Fresh off the back of their growing success, these releases mark the next chapter in The Mara's rise as one of New Zealand's most exciting emerging bands.

Did You Believe? captures the carefree essence of summer, infused with a hint of mystery. With its breezy, summery feel, the track nods to Latin America through its rhythmic flavors, blending seamlessly with The Mara's signature Kiwi indie grooves. The infectious beat and melodic layers create an irresistible urge to dance, making it a strong contender for the charts.

Mr. Professor Man, on the other hand, is an energetic ska/rock mix that delivers a powerful message about embracing individuality. Written by frontman Jordan Jones, the song serves as a cheeky nod to teachers of the 90's, reflecting Jones' personal experience of growing up with ADHD in an environment that demanded conformity. Through its upbeat ska rhythms, electric guitar solos, and anthemic chorus, Mr. Professor Man invites listeners to celebrate what makes them unique, rather than conforming to expectations.
