I worked at  a job I could listen to SoundCloud and this is what I listened to in the Summer of 2015.

Nashville rock band Daisyhead has teamed up with Baltimore based rock group Have Mercy to release a four song split EP via No Sleep Records on February 25th. 

"Before this split, to me, Have Mercy was just a band that helped me destroy my apartment at a party we threw on July 4th of 2013,” says Daisyhead’s Michael Roe. “When Chris mentioned us doing a split with them, I couldn't help but laugh. This will be a good way for me to keep in contact with them to make sure they fix my couch, which they broke by powerbombing each other on it. Honestly though, I love everything that Have Mercy has released, and everyone in Daisyhead is honored to share a record with them."

"When No Sleep contacted us about doing a split with Daisyhead we were extremely surprised,” Have Mercy’s vocalist/guitarist Brian Swindle adds. “We thought those guys hated us after we were doing power bombs on each other at their house on 4th of July and broke their couch. We can't stop listening to their songs on the split. The Daisyhead guys are extremely nice, talented and definitely a band to keep an eye on in 2014."

Daisyhead is made up of Zach Chiarizzio (bass/vocals), Michael Roe (vocals/guitar), Curtis DuRard (guitar) and Chad Burroughs (drums). The band’s sound takes listeners back to the heyday of the 90’s post-hardcore/alternative rock and early 2000’s era of Revelation Records while injecting their own unique edge and style. In 2013, they released their debut EP, I Couldn’t Face You, which helped established the band as one of their scene's most promising newcomers.

In the fall of 2013, Daisyhead joined No Sleep Records and released a split EP with Have Mercy early the following year. After touring in support of the release the band entered the studio in the fall of 2014 to record their debut full-length record, The Smallest Light. 

"The Smallest Light is a record with thoughts shared by each member of the band, which makes it so much more special to me," says Roe. "We wanted to be sure our first LP was one we were all really proud of, and that’s exactly what it is. It’s a pleasure to be releasing a record alongside some of my personal all time favorite records. I can tell that this record would not nearly be the same if it wasn’t this exact lineup. Everyone equally shared the responsibility of making it what it is, and that becomes apparent when you learn more about the meaning behind the songs."

After several years of touring and EP releases, Daisyhead has arrived with the debut fans have been waiting for. From the infectious and anthemic jams of “Take” to the massive sing-along hooks in tracks like “Lacking Basis” and “I Didn’t Deserve This,” The Smallest Light proves even further that Daisyhead will be a staple in the scene for years to come.
