Oh Mercy have brought their brand of indie pop-rock to America. The Aussies are Stateside to promote their latest album, cheekily titled Great Barrier Grief.
Oh Mercy’s latest disc was inspired by the classic albums and songwriters who’ve influenced the band’s members over the years. It hit number 13 on the ARIA charts, and its songs are receiving plenty of airplay on American college radio. No doubt that will inspire plenty of young Americans to check out the following shows, including their third appearance at South by Southwest.
