Oh Mercy's 'Deep Heat' Australian Tour
There’s just something about Melbourne band Oh Mercy… once they’re under your skin they’re there to stay. Great Barrier Grief had to be one of my favourite releases of last year and “Let Me Go” one of my favourite tracks... boy did that get a burn. Frontman Alexander Gow croons such earnest lyrics… and there’s just such an unpretentious, earthy realness to them: you’ll feel you’ve been there before even if you haven’t. Beautiful, head-swaying, sneaking-glances-round-the-bar-to-see-if-there’s-someone-you-could-possibly-kiss melodies to boot.
I highly recommend you see them live – which is fortunate as they are about to embark on a full Australian tour to launch their new album Deep Heat.
Get the to a show! Here’s a taste if you’re yet to…
