Formed in 2014 in the Eastern outskirts of Paris, THE MERCENARIES is a Punk Rock tasting band with strong hints of Ska / Rocksteady and flavours of The Clash, The Specials, Rancid and The Distillers.
Composed of five musicians with solid background, coming from bands of Paris and its surroundings, THE MERCENARIES arrive on stage like a cannonball.
The frontline is held by a mixed-gender vocal duo: Loki (vocals + guitar) and Bad Ness, while the remainder of the regiment bombards with heavy machinery (bass, drums and keyboard) from the rear line.
After a first 6-track EP ‘Long Way’ released in October 2014, the band released their first album, ‘Rocky Road’, in November 2016. The album was very well received by the public and the media, and was quickly exported to the USA via the band THE INTERRUPTERS, with whom they shared the stage for the second time in Paris in 2016.
Following this event, the members of THE MERCENARIES were extremely proud to learn that their album would be reviewed and broadcast by Mr TIM ARMSTRONG, the leader of the legendary band RANCID, on his radio show entitled ‘Tim Time Bomb And Friends’.
In 2023 the band released a fine 4-track EP entitled ‘Fight Back’ and are now working on a new album to be released in early 2025.
This fierce and generous stage band has had the opportunity to share the stage with quite a few French and international bands: The Aggrolites, Mad Caddies, The Interrupters, Neville Staple (The Specials), Moscow Death Brigade, Authority Zero, Fishbones, Queens of everything, Two tone club, Red City Radio, Los Fastidios, NH3, Sonic boom six, The Movement, Peter and the Test Tube Babies, The Toasters, Brigada Flores Magon, Los Tres Puntos …
