April 21st, 2017 - Baltimore, MD - Have Mercy has officially released their highly anticipated third studio album, Make The Best Of It, via Hopeless Records today! Fans can purchase the album in stores, on vinyl, on iTunes or stream it on Spotify. The 11 track record hits all the marks that Have Mercy fans have been known to love; and the album is already being praised by the press. Musically, lyrically and stylistically, Make The Best Of It rings loud and true throughout, being the bands catchiest and tightest endeavor to date. Have Mercy's previous releases include A Place of Our Own (2014) and their cult-success debut album, The Earth Pushed Back (2013).

 

During the writing and recording of Make The Best Of It-a seven-month affair with producers Paul Leavitt (All Time Low) and Brian McTernan (Thrice) as well as writing partner and guitarist Nathaniel Gleason - Swindle made sure to internalize the essence of Have Mercy and let that guide the songwriting. On the release of the album, Swindle says, "It's an amazing feeling to finally have this record out. Almost unreal. We started writing back in February 2016 and didn't finish until the fall. After being off of the road for 7 months and hyping the new record for so long I'm just ready to show the world what we've created."
