Old Mervs Deliver An Early Christmas Present With New Single, 'See You Again'

It might not quite be Christmas just yet, but Perth duo Old Mervs have gifted us all an early present by way of their latest single, See You Again.

The new track arrives just in time not only for Christmas but for the pair’s appearance at the Left Bank XMAS EVE celebration in Fremantle on Tuesday, December 24th. The annual celebration of local music and DJs sees Old Mervs appearing alongside the likes of Sam McGovern, Ruby Hoo, Lazy Haze, Twelve Parsecs, Feel Estate, and more.

Undoubtedly, one of the biggest highlights of the evening will be the appearance of See You Again, which is the fourth track lifted from their forthcoming self-titled debut album.

“Merry farkin’ Christmas, Santa’s dropped off a Christmas carol for you good people!” the pair said in a brief statement.

Sonically aligned with their previous efforts – including singles such as What You’ve Lost, Forget It, and Parched – the track is a ferocious belter, kicking off with ringing guitars before turning into a thundering garage rock classic.

The Kojonup-based duo, comprised of childhood friends David House and Henry Carrington-Jones, will be bringing 11 salty grunge-based tracks into the light of day on their forthcoming album, which arrives following two EPs across 2021 and 2023.

“One of the highlights of the album was recording Parched, Carrington-Jones said of the project, recorded in Byron Bay with the help of Chris Collins (Royel Otis, Teenage Dads). 

“We really delved into another style of our sound and leaned into some ‘90s West Coast surf rock. For me, personally. I couldn’t get Hole’s Malibu film clip out of my head after we all talked about going real ’90s surf rock. It’s probably the hardest rock track on the album, but is super easy listening in its own way. Most importantly, it’s a ripper to play together and bash out live!”

While Old Mervs’ See You Again is out now, their self-titled debut album will arrive on Friday, March 21st. Pre-orders for the record are available now.
