“If the modern catma of this movement involving love and peace and other new-age dorkisms dictate that a certain inevitable inevitability inevitably happens, then I should be, and very well should be, smiting the worries of speaking thinking and feeling the mind.
But, alas, that takes substance. And in this day and age, substance is a supersized uncommon commonality defined by the fat in your tank and the gas on your ass. It makes too much sense. We are too reasonably rational and rationally reasonable.
This art, however, makes sense because it doesn’t make any sense at all. That’s real, baby. A nice reminder that you are indeed breathing for freedom, but you is still starving. That’s right-on, friends.
So take what laura says thinks and feels as a refreshing reminder, because she probably won’t stop anytime soon.”
an excerpt from the novella "Peacetime in Wellington" by Dr. Elysium Ferry
BLACK CARL
Mostly derived from the several reviews, articles both in print and on the web:
Blues, indie, classic rock, all coexisting as one in the passion-, soul-driven four-piece band Mergence — a band that will not only draw you in, but keep you on your toes and soles, while you sway with every note.
Compared to the likes of The Black Keys, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles and Pink Floyd, it is undeniable that Mergence's distinctive trait is the passion and soul infused in the performance of each track.
The bands meditative lyrics are as raw as its sound, threading themes of life, love, sex and death. Their tracks evoke a strong reaction from their devout, diverse following, from young to old and from all walks of life. With an earthy, catchy sound, Mergence is as real as it gets. Their live shows and performances are an unequivocal match to the quality of their tracks and album — because they're recorded mostly live, too — packaged into a lustfully smooth sound, collaboratively and effortlessly produced by the band's diverse members, including vocalist/guitarist/keyboardist Adam Bruce, Yod on guitar, Brandon Shupe on bass and Jason Roedl rounding out the rhythm section on the drums.
FUTURE LOVES PAST
“Future Loves Past somehow combines indie rock, psychedelia, Americana, outright folk music, country embellishments, a touch of British Invasion and hints of 1970s classic rock with flourishes of 80s synth work […] the aural amazement at their shows can’t be denied in any capacity.”
