Have Mercy 
Dead Letter 
Rude Records 
 
Punk and alternative rock headliners Have Mercy take on the mantle of Titans once again after a brief hiatus in 2020. December of last year saw a huge smash with their back-in-business album Numb. It carried the flag for music, for rock n roll, and for Baltimore with global attention across the scene. Now, in early September, Have Mercy present Still Numb. It’s a complete reworking of the album. Released alongside two acoustic versions of Numb and Alive, from the previous record, we also get a brand-new single in Dead Letter. Returning to their original ethos of soundcraft and taking all their experience with them, Dead Letter from Have Mercy sets the ideal tone for the next stage of their exponential career.  
 
A bash of drums and a rush of guitar springs into the air as the rhythm rips up the quiet with graceful, paced, and eloquently dissected timings. The music rises on the upward currents of harmony and soul as the verse begins. A masculine vocal that’s been hammered with essence and deep feeling lets it all out in a continual rising of lyrics progress. The drumming gives the band a ramp to fly from as each bar captures a sense of urgency and dream before launching it into the spaces between thought and feeling. Progressive and full of imagery, the tight and skilled Have Mercy take Dead Letter to the skyrocket and watch it take off.
