THE MERCY KILLS TO RELEASE NEW SINGLE 'FALL'
Melbourne, Australia’s The Mercy Kills are back, and will release of their newly remastered single, Fall on September 14th. The sleaze punk rock act have re-worked tracks from their 2010 Debut EP New Rule and Fall appeared on that release.
Fall is a post-punk inspired song about trying to keep in control of your life, while things feel like they are falling apart around you. This high energy track has always been a favourite between the band members and is still relevant to them today.
Mix two parts dirty rock with two parts sleaze punk and you get a four shot cocktail called THE MERCY KILLS featuring Mark E (Vox/Guitar), Jen X Costello (Bass/Vox), Nathalie Gellé (Guitar/Vox) and Josh Black (Drums).
Their tastes in music, the desire to write great songs and blast out a killer live show were the key factors shared by this four-piece outfit. THE MERCY KILLS took their name from a line in The Rocky Horror Picture Show, "It was a mercy killing".
"Take the energy from ‘Appetite for Destruction’ era Guns ‘N’ Roses, mix it with some ‘Ramones’ style punk, a lot of energy and you have ‘THE MERCY KILLS’…”
- SF Media (Brisbane)
"Their dramatic set included flaming drumsticks and power riffs, worthy of international rock stars". - Live Music (Adelaide)
"Should you happen across a flyer with ‘THE MERCY KILLS’ written anywhere on it, make note of the date, and keep the night free”. - SF Media (Melbourne)
"Big, brash, and bold were ‘THE MERCY KILLS’. The band’s energy screeched like a rogue ‘68 Camaro right until the very end…" - The Music (Sydney)
‘FALL’ IS OUT SEPTEMBER 14TH
