US based trio The Mercy Beat (presumably a clever twist on the Mersey Beat movement) released their eponymous debut EP earlier this year in the States to a slew of praise from the heavy hitters and hype-machiners.
Now, they’re planning on hitting UK shores with their international line up that includes members from Hong Kong, Hawaii and New York City.
The band also has a not-so-secret-weapon in the form of Sam Endicott, ex-frontman of The Bravery and writer of songs for the likes of Shakira and Christina Aguilera.
No wonder this three-track is jam packed full of sugar-coated synth-pop pulling in aspects of The Cure, Velvet Underground and several chart smash-hits that was more than enough to prick up our ears. You can stream the full thing below.
The Mercy Beat EP will be released September 1st on French indie label OSKAR Recordings
