ABOUT

About us:

We are a group of veteran musicians all with 15+ years of music. The 3 of us have known each other well for 10+ years. We are all very easy going, laid back people with serious minds and set goals in life. We have fun as often as we can. We are all in our late 20s/early 30s. We all have our skills honed in to the specific instruments we play, plus we all have the individual ability to switch things up and play each others instruments, which can be beneficial for songwriting.

This is a brand new band formed off a few bands from the past, and we are writing/playing original music (no cover songs). We all have experience on stage, recording, promoting, and all the necessary elements needed to run a successful band. We have full production capabilities such as graphic artists, photographers, and videographers, as well as 2 basic home recording stations for recording during the writing process. We hope to do a professional recording no later than late spring and to have an EP released by this summer. We are well connected in the upper midwest music scene and have access to plenty of shows of all different capacities around the region.

About you:

You are a SINGER, you are NOT a rapper and NOT solely a screamer. If you have the ability you can add in some tactful screaming once in a while. You are a fun, positive, energetic person who can get a crowd moving. You have confidence in your abilities and yourself, without being arrogant or having too big of an ego. You have your own transportation, a job, and the abilities to make contributions to this band both physically and, when needed, financially (ie. recording, merch, etc...) You are open minded, and can take and give constructive criticism. You are honest with yourself and others. You can have fun both inside band business and outside band business. Must be at least mid 20s - late 30s. Live performance and recording experience is strongly perferred.
NO HARD DRUG USERS. Please be drama free and have love for what you do.

If interested, please email us at newmercyrising (at) g mail (dot) com. We have some rough recordings we can send you for you to get a feel for the sound of our music. If you have any recordings you've done in the past, we would love to hear them. Let us know what goals you have for your music, and the specifics that you are looking for in a band.

We look forward to hearing from you!
