After over a decade of making music, Thirsty Merc are still as thirsty as ever.

They’ve released an indie EP which garnered triple J airplay back in 2003, three critically acclaimed studio albums, an acoustic fan favourites record entitled AAA: Acoustic Anniversary Album and a swag of classic tracks. Australian rock stalwarts Thirsty Merc are still excited to be making music, and hungrier than ever before to extend their legacy.

After selling more than 200,000 records through Warner Music, this time around Thirsty Merc are tackling the recording and release of their fourth studio album independently, and very differently. The boys have utilised crowdfunding platform PledgeMusic, and the response has been overwhelming. In fact, the band reached its goal within 48 hours of its 75-day campaign.
