Baltimore alt-rock veterans Have Mercy are back with their sixth studio album, the loneliest place i’ve ever been—a record fueled by vulnerability, loss, and late-night reflections.

In this episode, frontman Brian Swindle opens up about the band’s journey from their early days in the Baltimore scene, through the highs of breakout albums like The Earth Pushed Back and A Place of Our Own, the heartbreak of loss and disbandment, and the revival that’s led to their most honest work yet.

We dive into the stories behind new singles “august 17” and “tv glows,” what it means to make music that lingers in life’s quietest moments, and how Have Mercy continues to grow while honoring their past.
