After much anticipation and doing years of shows, Mergo have finally released their long-awaited debut single 'Hinemoa'. A heavy rock anthem for the Aussie hot summer and with a distinct 90's sound, the band's first release is a massive one.
Hinemoa's searing nostalgia is crystallised in lyricism that draws from early life in the Goldfields region of Western Australia. With its driving rhythm section, crunching guitars and lavish production from producer/engineer Matt Templeman, Hinemoa is a cerebral rock treat for fans of the genre.
