Mercyland - Mercyland *Pre-Order

Release Date Friday 5th December 2025
All pre-orders will be dispatched/made ready for collection on that day.

Mercyland, led by David Barbe (Bob Mould’s Sugar), was a foundational post-punk trio from Athens, Georgia. Formed in 1985 and dissolved by 1991, the band left behind a body of work that never saw a wide release. The band was nourished by a steady diet of the Minutemen’s Double Nickels on the Dime, Husker Du’s Metal Circus, Meat Puppets 2, Dinosaur Jr’s Yr Living All Over Me, Volcano Suns, and Mission of Burma. “Mercyland" unveils eleven tracks recorded from 1985-1987 that are raw, urgent, and deeply tied to the American underground. Produced and curated by Barbe, the collection draws from early 8-track recordings, studio demos and live performances. This is a necessary historical document of the earliest material of the criminally unknown band, which captures the spirit of a band ahead of its time. Fully remixed and pressed on vinyl for the first time.
