The Mercians are an indie-rock band from Leicester, who celebrate their hometown and their roots with their relatable lyrics.
Named after the Anglo-Saxon name for the Midlands, The Mercians are bringing back the raw, unfiltered sound that the region is known for. Think Sam Fender meets Catfish and the Bottlemen, but with a gritty, down-to-earth edge that sets them apart. Their music is a mix of politics, emotion and raw talent. The band’s sound is reminiscent of the British indie rock revival of the early 2000s, but with a fresh and modern twist.
These working-class lads craft gritty, transparent, and relatable tracks that delve into real-life situations. Their debut single "Dreamseller" exposed an industry conman who syphoned £8000 from the band’s pockets.
As their fanbase rallies behind them, The Mercians stand strong. To truly appreciate the band’s full capability, witnessing their live show is an absolute must.
The event is taking place at Trinity Park, Ipswich. See individual listings for full venue details.
