New release from: THE MERCY KILLS – New Rule (February 12, 2021)
New Rule is the debut EP by Melbourne dirty / sleaze rock band The Mercy Kills. Written and produced in 2010, this five-track release has strong elements of the four members influences, with elements of post-punk, grunge and rock ‘n’ roll. TMK are proud that it stands strong, alongside the music they have produced over the ten years since.
Initially, New Rule was only available as a short run of CD’s and was never officially released. The band have always felt this as a thorn in their side and are now happy to see it getting out there through Golden Robot Records and will be released on 12th February.
“Fall” is the 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.
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)
