Old Mervs

An unbreakable bond shared between lifelong mates, Dave and Henry hail from the tiny farming community of Kojonup, a town three hours south of Perth, Western Australia. Starting out as school friends and rehearsing in a makeshift space in an old farm shed, Old Mervs are a far cry from their humble beginnings.

In 2024, the duo hit home runs, selling out their biggest headline show to date at the Fremantle Arts Centre in WA and wrapping up their massive sold out tour across Australia and New Zealand. The fast-rising band also embarked on their first UK headline tour, selling out venues in London, Manchester and Birmingham.

Old Mervs kicked 2025 off with a bang, placing at 38 in the triple j Hottest 100 with “What You’ve Lost” and releasing their self-titled debut album. Recorded with ARIA award-winning producer Chris Collins, Old Mervs’ self-titled album scored triple j’s Feature Album of the week, winning hearts with hits “Parched“, “What You’ve Lost”, “Forget It”, “See You Again”, “Everyone Will See It” and a stack of new tunes including focus track “Don’t Go”.

Last month, the album debuted at #1 on the ARIA Australian Album Charts, as well as reaching #1 Vinyl Album, #1 Digital Album and a hugely impressive #4 on the Overall Charts, wedged in between Billie Eilish and Selena Gomez.

Gearing up for a huge rest of the year, the boys are embarking on a mammoth 20 date album tour across Australia and New Zealand before wrapping up with a headline home-state show at Perth HPC. On the festival front, Old Mervs are headlining Festival of the Stone in Byron Bay in June before jetting off to Chicago in July to perform at the world-renowned Lollapalooza alongside names like Olivia Rodrigo, Tyler the Creator and Sabrina Carpenter, and a huge run of dates across the USA.
