Mercury Rev é uma banda formada em Nova York no ano de 1984.
O som da banda divide-se em duas fases. Na primeira -a que correspondem os dois primeiros álbuns - "Yerself Is Steam" (1991) e "Boces" (1993), o som da banda era caótico, experimental e psicodélico. Nesta fase o Mercury Rev tornou-se uma banda de culto, com concertos históricos, como no palco secundário de Lollapalooza em 1993, por exemplo, mas com pouco sucesso comercial.
Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
