You are going to love the album art. The sci-fi
theme is very well done! By the appearance I almost expected
a jump back 20-years to the 1980’s true retro/electro rock.
But to my surprise, a wall of well tracked guitars in my
ears…upbeat head bobbin’ rock’n roll! However, I would even
venture to say their sound touches the pop-punk sound, mixed
with well thought out vocals, and a killer sound! This 4-song
EP wouldn’t stop playing in my CD player.
Mercury Boy is a power trio with a strong happy twist. I
even hear elements of the B52’s; dare I compare. I guarantee
you will enjoy this record, over and over again. For a very
straightforward rock album, the creativity level is very
high binging in sounds and elements of familiar styles that
catches the ear and maybe even triggers memories. Who knows?
What I do know is you have to listen to these guys. If they
come through your town, go see them! I hope I get to some
day!
