Mercy Kelly

The Greater Manchester 5-piece formed during the winter of 2019; channelling a stirring mix of Chameleons-esque guitar sounds and stadium sized melodies. Originally starting out as an acoustic song writing partnership between frontman Jack Marland and lead guitarist Adam Bridge, the group gradually morphed into its current incarnation with new members Joel Buckley, Leon Hepke and Jacob Simpson joining on bass, drums and rhythm guitar respectively.

​

Setting a vision from day one was key, and after writing more than an albums worth of material, the band spent the last few months of 2024 recording three new singles at Kempston Street Studio in Liverpool (formerly Parr Street) a studio whose notable collaborations over the years include artists such as 'Elbow', 'Everything Everything', 'New Order' and more recently 'The 'Lathums’ and 'Royston Club'. Working with the well acclaimed producer Alex Quinn has proved to be a match made in heaven for a band with influences deeply rooted in the Chorus Wave sounds of 80’s suburbia.

New single ‘Illusions'’ acutely blends the gothic and jangly influences of that era whilst announcing the bold artistic intentions of the band; the reinvention of romanticism in a 21st century guise.

​

Mercy Kelly's intentions in 2025 are to make a fresh statement with their music, unlocking the rich sonic palette of the band and creating sharper pop sensibilities, all in preparation for this years debut at Kendal Calling.
