Biography:
Melbourne's Oh Mercy, headed by songwriter Alexander Gow, is a young indie rock band with serious talent.
Says Alex of the first single from the fourth Oh Mercy album - still untitled... “Sandy is a fast song. Faster than the other ones. Or slower. It really just depends on how you count the bars.
