Our Mercury is a band that started out in 1995 (at only 13 years of age) as a punk band called Misdemeanor and has made the evolution to post-punk in the style of Hot Water Music. They have succeeded at this by changing their band name to Our Mercury and adding more dynamics to their music. Your Medicine is their first release on Edmonton's Farway records. They have already toured with bands like Gob, D.B.S. and Piebald so they are getting their experience real-world style. This 5 song EP shows a band maturing into a very interesting punk/emo band that does have many dynamics to them. The first track, "Good Hot, Bad Hot" kind of gives you an impression for what you are in for on this EP. It sounds like Burning Airlines with the heaviness and diversity of a growing band. I couldn't tell who actually did the production on Your Medicine but it is really well done for a junior band like this. Our Mercury will indeed go places. Watch for this band in the coming years.
