FROM RELIX MAGAZINE:
"Mercury Landing is a rising act in New York’s crowded music beat,
and the 5-piece band carves its unique image on a competitive stage by
crafting a sound that speaks to a professional attitude and technical
and stylistic mastery.
Since forming in 2005 the band has exploded on the metropolitan scene,
delivering a genre-conquering mesh of styles stemming from a whole
spectrum of musical influences.
While there's no doubt that this is a talented group of dedicated
professionals, Mercury Landing is at heart a group of friends doing
what they love, and as a result you may catch them covering a funky
Talking Heads tune onstage or just letting loose and busting out the
theme to Tetris midset. Whatever the formula is, it's working for
these guys, and consequently they'll likely be taking off from
planet N.Y. in the near future, and touching down at a venue near you."
