Small Mercies are a classic rock band for the modern era. Their songs bristle with a mood of instant familiarity. Break the band into sonic parts and you’ll hear chiming choruses, shimmering guitars and an explosive bottom end; all of which are fronted by a young voice fit to fill arenas, stadiums and the airwaves. Hailing from Brisbane, the four-piece released their debut album, Beautiful Hum, on May 24th 2008. No less a tastemaker than Billboard magazine are touting the band’s hometown as one of the globe’s happening musical hotspots. It’s the city where Savage Garden, The Saints and Powderfinger made their mark before achieving national and international recognition. Small Mercies may well swell those ranks. Small Mercies’ vocalist Steve Blaik, guitarist Danny Procopis and drummer Marty O’Brien all met at high school. Steve and Danny form the band’s song writing hub while Marty, along with bassist Jeff Reeves, complete the group and provide a rock solid rhythm section.
