Review: Mercy Music – What You Stand To Lose

The fourth full-length record from alternative rock band, Mercy Music, shows a lot of growth in the band’s musicianship, and is filled with slick hooks, rip-roaring guitar solos, and accessible vocals that make you want to join in on the fun. What You Stand To Lose finds the Las Vegas-based band tinkering with their punk rock roots and they have made an album worthy of your time. The set of songs was produced by Bill Stevenson (Black Flag, Descendents) and mixed by Jason Livermore (NOFX, Hot Water Music), and it tackles relatable themes like heartbreak, trusting yourself, and refusing to conform to the status quo. Lead singer/guitarist Brendan Scholz shared, “”What You Stand To Lose is about coming face to face with one of your worst fears, learning from the experience, and hoping you come out the other side a better person.” With a sound that strays somewhere between The Explosion, The Ataris, and The Bouncing Souls, Mercy Music may have just made your next favorite album to add to your collection.
