THE MERCY KILLS TO RELEASE NEW SINGLE 'ALONE'
Hailing from Melbourne, Australia, THE MERCY KILLS are back, with the release of their newly remastered single, 'Alone', out June 1st.
A re-worked version of a band and live crowd favourite, the track is taken from their debut album Happy To Kill You (2013) and has been remastered and re-released as a single for those reaching out digitally in COVID-19 isolation. The message is simple, “You can’t make it alone!”
ABOUT THE MERCY KILLS
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)
