Details:
The power trio is not dead! At least thatâs what has been proved with the release of âSocial Graces Set Aside,â Mercury Crossingâs sophomore album. It truly displays the essence of a power trio at work. The instrumentation is simple, but full and thick, amply supporting front woman, Sheri Roloffâs unique vocal style. The musical influences within the band span wide and are represented and blended well. The opening track âCasting Spellsâ sets the album up with a thumping bass drum intro that throws you into a whirlwind of wailing vocals, fiery bass, and super-duty drums. The fun doesnât stop there. âTell Me, Tell Meâ reveals the underlying blues/jazz influence that has been melded perfectly to alternative rock â the verses display smooth bass lines and melodic sensibility, while the chorus enters dripping with rock edge. Mercury Crossing is not your standard rock band, both lyrically and musically. âSell Sell Sellâ is a great example of the unique sound that each band member brings. Owen Strombeckâs progressive drumming style interlocks with Andy Hawkâs edgy and distinctive bass lines, which blended with Sheriâs roaring guitar, unexpected lyrics and fervent vocals just might make you pose the question, âhow have I not heard these guys before?!â

Well now that youâre in the loop, jump on board. Thereâs a lot to be heard on âSocial Graces Set Asideââ¦so you better get started!
