Mel Bryant & the Mercy Makers - Never Thought [Review] May 15, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music, Alternative, Pop, Punk Rating: 4.5 out of 5 “Mel Bryant & the Mercy Makers comes with an attitude and edge that feels like both Punk, and Rock, and generational in all the best ways. Per the band’s description ... ‘Never Thought’ is a quarter-life-crisis, a coming-of-age and a breakup song, squeezed into two, angsty minutes. That definition fits, proving this band knows not only what they want to say, but also has the talent to achieve exactly that. ” — Travis Erwin (LA on Lock Blogger)
