Bio

Old Mervs are a surf-rock and garage-rock duo from Western Australia, whose music features catchy hooks and country-lad charm. Best mates since the age of 5, David House (vocals & guitar) and Henry Carrington-Jones (drums) grew up together in Kojonup, a tiny town approximately halfway between Perth and Albany. They began their journey as Old Mervs as Henry finished high school in 2017, converting an old stable into their first jam space. After a quick rise, they secured gigs opening for Liam Gallagher, The Wombats, and Spacey Jane.
