Did you know one of our favorite Australian bands’ name was conjured by their childhood dog? Such a clever name for their members of Old Mervs, who’ve known each other since childhood. The chemistry and brilliance within their music are undeniable. One song that stood out from their album was “Best I Know,” an old-school, Matchbox 20 sound encompasses throughout the song. The triumphant instrumental paired with such a rugged song aids in the song’s longevity.
‘Best I Know ‘ gives off this cinematic element and holds a punch. It’s the type of song you’d expect at the climax of a movie, as the main character chases their true love. The buildup is another important detail of why this particular tune caught our attention. Old Mervs did an impeccable job of using the raw emotion of their vocals in the beginning, then proceeding to transform the song with the instrumental.
If you’re a fan of the classic, alternative, rock bands of the nineties and early two-thousands, then Old Mervs is right up your alley. Their vocals contain that iconic sound that we alternative fans have craved. While you’re listening to ‘Best I Know,’ make sure to give the rest of Old Mervs album a listen also.
Lyrics That Stick: “And I’m not going to stay. I’m in overdrive just thinking about what’s best…”
