Bleeding overdriven guitar-hero rawk (a'la early Nebula) into heart-fucked-cruising-main lyrics and vocal harmonies reminiscent of Layne Stayley/Jerry Cantrell, The Merchants recent "Cheyenne Super" release is a slab almost worthy of sitting alongside anyone's Fu Manchu, Firebird, or Thin Lizzy albums. A slight overstatement? Perhaps, but given some more time gigging and a better financial situation to ensure even more substantial studio time, one that is not entirely far-fetched; future recordings could really stomach the punch of their live set.

Rhythm guitarist Jon Pulling's corrossive sound complements Bob's Hendrix wah/Buck Dharma styling and soloing, while the heavy hitting drumming of Rex the rocker adds a free-form feel to the group's momentum. Throw in former Nikki Sixx fanatic Pat Dawson's clear and solid low end, and you've got The Merchants-- Kent, Washington's newest favorite sons, dethroning the once-godly Metal Church. Heshers, stoners, and space truckers unite! Pick up "Cheyenne Super" or see The Merchants live.
