Atlanta is the new musical mecca, so stop pointing your prayer rugs towards Brooklyn, aim them southerly instead, and start praying three times a day to Mermaid‘s home town.   Very little is known about Mermaid apart from their city of origin, and the fact that they only have 316 fans on Myspace, even though they are making some of the best retro rock n’ roll-laden songs in all of Indiedom.

It’s bands like Mermaids that are the reason that barn animal-themed blogs exist.  Both of the tracks below are certifiable gold, and hopefully these tracks, as well as the rest of their uncatalogued back catalog of frantic 50′s dance tunes won’t go unnoticed for long.
