A smooth song about feeling down can hurt even more than screaming in agony and indie band Little Grim followed that recipe for their new single Mercy. Singer Joe Murphy took a long, hard look at his life and added the shallowness of all the happy-go-lucky people on social media to write scathing lyrics as a counterpoint to the New Romantics-alike music. Dressing up for depression is the prerogative for the young and the London based quartet pull it off with flying colours.
