“Three years ago, Springsteen came on my car radio, talking about starting out with his band. They would play anywhere, for anyone, and learn any song, because they wanted to play that badly. Three days ago Mercy, the Sexton took me straight back to that sunny morning. They love to play, and because they love, the crowd loves them. Because they want to be there, the crowd wants to be there with them. They are the band that just loves to play.” DANA COOPER, The Scope

 

"Clever and catchy, fast and young, Mercy sound the way a great weekend feels. Beats you can dance to, melodies you can hum, these guys have boiled down dance-rock and taken only the essentials, leaving the lame and the obvious behind.” ZACH GOUDIE, CBC Radio

 

"Mercy the Sexton, from St. John’s, were the more excitable of the two we caught, with harmonies in every song and one dedicated to NYC sealing the deal.” MARK LEPAGE, Montreal Gazette

 

“The high-energy pop is punctuated with dandy New Wave harmonies, clever lyrics and enough guitar edge to hold the interest of those of us who winced the first time synthy keyboards took over the airwaves.”
KEN SIMMONS, The Telegram

 

“Mercy, the Sexton have this irresistible danceability to their rock music that catches you and never lets you go.” KEVIN KELLY, The Newfoundland Herald

 

“Not only are these songs energetic, they’re completely unforgettable.”
ROBERT HISCOCK, Product of Newfoundland

 

“Two minute power pop songs with hooks-a-plenty. I was up outta my seat and into it by the second song. I'm sure they'll be filling the local haunts in no time.” DARRELL BENNETT
