One Man Bandit 7''
10' Industries
1998
Rating: 9 jam jars out of 10
The lack of info on the Mercury Birds online is both sad and disturbing. Especially given at least one of their members has gone on to be a party of the fairly popular Red Fang. Hell, a google search for their album "Saxatar Cosmosis" returns absolutely nothing! There is absolutely nothing about them on Discogs, even though I have two of their full lengths and this here seven inch to prove they once existed. Long story short, they were a mid-to-late nineties band from Greensboro that played some weird hybrid of space rock and hard boogie but with plenty of indie pop hooks to keep you rapt. This seven inch fully follows that formula, and it's awesome. Hopefully at some point there is some sort of renaissance for the band, they deserve it.
