North Carolina’s Mercy Mercedes is a fun band and their EP “1.21 Gigawatts” is a fun release. That’s not always necessarily the case. Fun guys can write a shit album and a bunch of complete assholes can write a fun album. But here it all comes together nicely. Unless these guys are indeed assholes but I’m assuming they’re not because I’m an optimist by nature. Or nurture. But that’s a whole different debate.
“1.21 Gigawatts” is filled with happy happy joy joy poppunk that contains enough sugar to send a diabetic into shock. Come to think of it, “The Perfect Scene” probably means certain death for a diabetic. But it all sounds so incredibly catchy that the guy/girl probably wouldn’t even mind.
Honestly, any band that has a song called “Dr. Huxtable” can’t do wrong by me. I’m a nostalgic… shoot me. Fans of Sugarcult or Plain White T’s should have a field day with this EP. Expect the full-length early next year!
Score: 7.5 out of 10
