Mercs, The
FIRST OFF, WE STARTED PLAYIN AROUND THE SUMMER OF 97'. ALL BROTHERS, JAMMIN' OUT IN MY FUCKIN BEDROOM. WE PLAYED FOR ALONG ASS TIME IN THE ROOM AND OUR GARAGE. WE PLAYED LITTLE GIGS WHERE WE LIVED CAUSE ALL OUR FRIENDS LIVED IN L.A. AND WE LIVED IN FUCKIN RIALTO. BUT WE GREW UP IN L.A. SO THATS WHERE WE PARTIED.WE'VE BEEN INFLUENCED BY ALL KINDS OF MUSIC, PUNK, ROCKABILLY, HARDCORE, OLD SCHOOL, OI(ME), 50'S R'n'R, EVEN SOME "SO CALLED" GRUNGE. BUT WE CAN'T REALLY SAY WHAT KIND OF MUSIC WE PLAY, YOU GOTTA SEE US AND TELL US. BUT WE HAVE PLAYED WITH COOL ASS BANDS, UNION 13, THOUGHT RIOT, FATAL RIOT, THE DICTIONS,FALSE IDOLS, THE CONVICTS, OPPOSITION, SOCIAL CONFLICT & SUBURBAN CASUALTIES(HALF A D.K. SONG). BUT ALL IN ALL, IT'S FUCKIN FUN. WE LOVE TO PLAY AND HAVE A BALL WHEN PEOPLE SHOW US THAT THEY DIG OUR MUSIC. WE PLAY ALOT OF GIGS IN S.G.V. AND EAST LOS SMOKES
