Old Mervs – ‘Sweetheart’
After a long string of standalone singles, Old Mervs released their debut EP, Get Better, in 2022. Last month, they returned with their first new music for 2023: a single titled ‘Sweetheart’ that arrived ahead of their tour supporting Northeast Arnhem Land surf-rockers King Stingray.
“We wanted some more fast-paced singalong styled songs for our live set, so whilst writing we were trying to imagine how it would sit in a live show,” vocalist/guitarist David House said of the single upon its arrival. “It definitely feels like a very classic Old Mervs-sounding track and that’s intentional. Crunchy guitars and big choruses are too much fun to be missing from our catalogue.”
