Mere, a five-piece band from New York City, takes rock music back to its core elements: an explosive live show and great songs. Whether it's a rock hit like "Anything At All" or a tender ballad like "You and I," the band's unmistakeable sound is built around strong melodies, catchy hooks, and sing-along choruses smoothed over by rich sonic textures. And with their just-completed album "Switches & Dials," Mere is poised to take the national stage.

Rock reviewer Ed Fingerling writes, "A fantastic young rock band. Check them out live -- they are like the mini-Beatles: packed house, with girls going crazy .... See 'em now so you can say you saw them when."

Mere has opened for national acts like INXS, OK Go, Oasis, and The Black Crowes.
