Old Mervs

Lifelong friends Henry Carrington-Jones and David House (Old Mervs) grew up together on farms outside of Kojonup, a tiny town approximately three hours south of Perth, Western Australia. As high schoolers they cleared out a stable to use as a rehearsal space for their new band, named after one of Henry’s family farm working dogs. With Henry on drums and David on guitar/vox, it was truly humble beginnings. Nowadays, Old Mervs are considered one of the most exciting rock acts in Australia. Breakout singles Cellphone (2020), Where I Go (2022), and Sweetheart (2023) have been streamed in the millions; while their second EP, Give It Up (2023), debuted at #2 on the ARIA Australian Albums chart. In January Sweetheart landed at #47 in the 2023 triple j Hottest 100. The duo has supported huge international artists, including Liam Gallagher and The Wombats, as well as local heroes Spacey Jane and King Stingray. They also boast a dedicated fanbase of their own, having sold out multiple national tours and performed heroic appearances on premiere festival line-ups, including Splendour In The Grass, Groovin the Moo and Yours and Owls.
