In the humidity of Tampa, Florida, Merchandise has been gradually raising the thermometer since 2008, and 2013 seems ripe for the trio to become the latest indie darlings. The same punk attitude that has kept themselves out of the spotlight seem to have made lot of us curious. Perhaps, the lads realized that capitalizing on their music was better than working at some shitty job and a ticket out of a place that’s probably not best suited for liberal thinkers. From a fan’s point of you, we are fired up to see them come through our neck of the woods.
Stream the latest single, “Who Are You?” below from Totale Nite LP out April 2 via Night-People Records.
