Sometimes an EP can feel like a stopgap between bigger projects, but Summer of Silence isn't one of those records. From the moment it begins, it's clear that Mercy Kelly approached these four songs with something to prove. Rather than simply following up a successful run of singles, the Greater Manchester trio have delivered a release that feels like a declaration of identity, confidence, and momentum. It captures a band that knows exactly who they are and where they're heading. We absolutely loved it and we know you will too!

Mercy Kelly have spent the past few years steadily building an impressive catalog, refining a sound rooted in soaring indie rock, jangly guitar textures, and stadium-sized ambition. What began as a songwriting partnership between frontman Jack Marland and guitarist Adam Bridge has evolved into a tightly knit three-piece alongside drummer Liam Constantine, and that chemistry is impossible to miss throughout Summer of Silence. As we mentioned in our interview plenty of times, their sound is larger than life.
