Have Mercy made a massive announcement at the beginning of the year that shook the music world. They finally released their secrect about coming back after a two year hiatus and their plans on putting out an EP at some point in the future. For Brian Swindle, this was news that he knew would eventually happen, even when the band didn't have discussions about regrouping to write new music. For Brian, the band will always be included in his life in some capacity. The writing and recording process originally started as trial and error when they came back together. The band agreed that if it all went wrong or didn't feel right, they would scrap the entire EP all together. But, the opposite happened. The Have Mercy members began to fall in love with writing music again. Brian said he has been in a mostly happy mindset since becoming sober and working on his mental health. He had to dig deep for these lyrics because people are familiar to the old sound that he often wrote when he was not in the proper head space. Luckily for the fan, three of the songs will have a similar sound as Have Mercy's first record and the fourth song will be more of a pop song. Regardless, there is excitement surrounding the band about what they are creating. Brian says the best part about this entire process is they get to do things their way. They don't have a set schedule and they might even self-release the songs. Brian originally stepped away from the band because he was burnt out and had some major life problems he had to face. Now, he is motivated again and is having fun making music. This episode was such a smooth conversation. Brian is one of the most genuine people out there. We had a great discussion about Always Sunny in Philadelphia, his fiance sticking with him during dark times, the history of Have Mercy, his solo music, and so much more!
