Baltimore Alt-Rock Titans Have Mercy
Release Deluxe Edition of 2023 LP 'Numb' Via Rude Records
On Tour In The UK Sept 6-14
After a hiatus in 2020, Baltimore's alt-rock powerhouse Have Mercy made a triumphant return with their December 2023 album NUMB, released via Rude Records. This LP, a milestone in their career, explores themes of perseverance, sobriety, new love, and a healthier lifestyle, solidifying their presence in the alt-rock scene. Self-produced and primarily recorded in Brian Swindle’s basement, NUMB revisits the essence of their early sound.
Now, Have Mercy is set to release 'Still Numb' on September 6—a deluxe edition of the album featuring the new single "Dead Letter" and two acoustic renditions of original tracks "Numb" and "Alive."

Lead vocalist and guitarist Brian Swindle sees the release of "'Still Numb' as an opportunity to expand on the NUMB era, re-imagining some tracks and introducing a new song. He explains, “I think ‘Dead Letter’ really captures the new sound of Have Mercy. We’re more involved with our art than ever before, having learned from years of experience and rediscovering our identity as people and artists.”
Reflecting on the process, Swindle adds, “This record feels like a return to the spirit of our debut album, The Earth Pushed Back. It’s about us three guys creating music because we love it, and it’s been a challenge to make something special.”
