Listen Here – Out Now!
Greater Manchester’s indie rock torchbearers Mercy Kelly are back, and they’re turning up the volume with their new single ‘Breathe For Her‘, released on October 3rd, 2025. This is a heart-on-sleeve, stadium-sized statement that cements the band as one of the North West’s most vital voices in indie and alternative rock.
Crafted by the dynamic songwriting duo of frontman Jack Marland and lead guitarist Adam Bridge, Breathe For Her is an emotional odyssey that dives headfirst into the depths of love, loss, and life’s weightiest moments. The track is a display of vulnerability, weaving Mercy Kelly’s signature lyrical romanticism with shimmering ‘80s-inspired textures and razor-sharp pop hooks. It’s a sonic journey that feels both intimate and colossal, like a whispered confession shouted from a mountaintop.
To capture this bold vision, Mercy Kelly crossed the M62 to record at Liverpool’s legendary Kempston Street Studios, a hallowed space once known as Parr Street Studios, where icons like Coldplay and Justin Bieber have laid down tracks alongside local heroes like Keyside. Teaming up with producer Alex Quinn, the band infused Breathe For Her with fresh energy and sonic depth, creating a soundscape that soars and stings in equal measure.
Hailing from Greater Manchester, Mercy Kelly have been steadily carving out their place as one of the region’s most exciting indie outfits. With Marland’s emotive vocals and Bridge’s searing guitar work at the helm, the band’s anthems channel the reckless energy of youth and the ache of lived experience. Following the breakout success of their earlier single Speak Too Soon, Breathe For Her marks a defining moment in their story, a clear signal that Mercy Kelly are ready to step onto bigger stages and into brighter spotlights.
