Sullen Heirs

Story

We just started playing together two years ago. This is our demo account - so to speak - where we seek occasional feedback for songs we might release later - might be a pretty big lag time between here and release. Our actual band name - on Spotify, etc - is Mercvrial. Thanks for listening.

What is music to you? What does it give you?

It's a hobby.

Don't really have one; we just enjoy doing a bit of recording.

If you could change the world - what would you start with?

Requirement to spay/neuter dogs and cats unless you have a permit to avoid doing so.

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

London Calling

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

Rain Parade, the Bunnymen, The Chameleons, The Clash, The Chills, The Beatles, The Byrds, Pink Floyd, AC/DC, The Buzzcocks, House of Love, Razorcuts, Ride, Stone Roses, Blur, Interpol, Alvvays, Courtney Barnett, The Church, The Bats, Tempers, Pale Saints, The Psychedelic Furs, XTC, the B52s

What inspires you to make music?

Absence of anything better to do

What is the message you want to send with your music?

To be a human being on a planet spinning around a small star on the far reaches of the Milky Way galaxy is a very bewildering experience.

How do you feel when you perform in front of an audience?

I can't remember... it's been over 25 years.

How do you see the musicians’ reality nowadays? What could be improved?

The reality is that for 99%+ of people it's a hobby, and hopefully a pleasant one.

What do you think of Drooble?

I suppose it's alright. We've used it a few times for crowd reviews that have been modestly helpful. So, sure, it's ok.

What frustrates you most as a musician?

Nothing really. If it were frustrating we wouldn't bother with it. It's just a bit of fun.

Do you support your local scene as a fan? How?

We go to shows here and there. I try to buy vinyl and merchandise of bands I like.

What qualities should a musician nowadays have in order to get their music heard by a larger audience?

Basically, you have to master Spotify - get on the playlists. There's an art and science to it from what I can gather. So, you have to know how to market your releases, it's that simple. We don't know what we're doing so... we don't really have any suggestions.
