The seven songs that appear onX<\/strong>, were painstakingly hand-picked by THE MERCY KILLS.<\/strong>  After many squabbles and fights over which songs would make the cut, the band settled on the best seven songs that deliver a strong representation of their releases to date. They enjoy new life with slick remastering that adds a new dimension to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fall<\/strong><\/em> is a post-punk inspired song about trying to keep in control of your life, while things feel like they are falling apart around you. This high energy track has always been a favourite between the band members and is still relevant to them today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
