New Album And New Video Single out!

That’s right, your personal awesome-vibe-summer-record has just landed – hard and heavy. With the deep, raunchy growl of a classic big block V8 and the throaty howl of a true Louisiana blues wolf, THE MERCURY RIOTS are back bigger and heavier than ever.

If you’re having a fucked up day, these guys are just the right mechanics to fix it for you, as just one spin of the RIOTS’ brand new record In Solstice will make you feel peachy and ready to roll again. Disclaimer: Your hair might disagree, it will most certainly suck when the boogie is over. That can easily be circumvented, though! Just don’t let it be over, the Repeat Button exists for a reason. With THE MERCURY RIOTS, it’s so effective in messing up bangs, mullets and skullets, we should rename it the Bad Hair Button.
Speaking of hair… Back in the heydays of good hair, i.e. the hairy days, the Bad Hair Button was oftentimes a really sick button combo that only the best of all pre-party video jockeys were able to master: Rewind – pray – play! If the prayers were heard, VHS audiences got to experience video goodness like this (minus the brilliantly luxurious sound, of course):

Whether you just want all your hair back or you’re thinking about spending that spare pocket money for your very first razor, chances are you won’t come back here to continue reading, as YouTube does feature a quick to use Bad Hair Button after all. Just in case you did return anyway: The full album In Solstice is out now! It's available in digital form and as a Gatefold CD, with a Gatefold Vinyl Edition in the pipeline for the following days. And since today is the day of summer solstice – the longest day of the year that’s nervously nested in the shortest nights –, you won’t get much sleep anyway. Could as well just go out and have fun, right? Wait! Don’t forget to take a healthy dose of LA muscle rock with you:
