The Mercians

 The Mercians are a five-piece indie rock band hailing from Leicester, England. Formed around 2021, the group consists of vocalist Matt Cominotto, drummer Charlie Devonport, guitarists Owen Trott and Joe Syborn, and bassist Harry Walford. Their music blends elements reminiscent of artists like Sam Fender and Catfish and the Bottlemen, delivering a raw and unfiltered sound.  The band has gained recognition through energetic live performances, including supporting former Kasabian frontman Tom Meighan at his homecoming show in Leicester in 2022. They've also sold out venues such as the O2 Academy in Leicester. Their debut single, "Dreamseller," addresses personal industry challenges, showcasing their commitment to authentic storytelling. Further singles followed, including "I Don't Mind" in 2023, "Leave Your Man" in 2024, and two EPs, Hurdles and Distant, before the release of the first charting hit "Is It Worth It" in 2025.
