Right some info about me - I'm a UK based Solo artist (and yes Beach is my real first name - if you ever meet me at a gig I'll spill the beans about how it came about...) and I'm from Manchester but now living in the southern part of London town.
I've been working away on the music for about 7 years now, and am naturally very passionate about it all. I've just finished re-recording my debut album "BACK + FORTH" - a whole lot of love has gone into it so I hope it says something to you.
All the songs are about friends / people I've met along the way / me dealing with my tiny mind. I wanted to fuse classic guitar pop with dance + rock when I set out on the project as I write the songs on guitar (having been brought up on a healthy diet of guitar music) and currently stay alive by DJing so wanted to blend the two into an interesting hybrid. Anyway let me know what you make of it all and whether it rocks / sucks. Either way I'd love to know!
Thanks again for listening, Beach.
Here's the official info on me and my music from the label:

BEACH MERCER - BURNING UP PENGUIN VIDEO
UK solo artist BEACH MERCER had a very successful 2005 with debut demo single "BURNING UP" featured as single of the week on GMTV ENTERTAINMENT TODAY (ITV1) in June. It reached number 1 on the WANADOO DOWNLOAD CHART upon its release in July and the video was given 4 out of 5 stars on the TOP OF THE POPS online website.
Second demo single "CHANGE" (September 05) received strong support on UK regional radio and in the UK National Press with featured articles in THE SATURDAY TIMES, MUSIC WEEK, IRISH WORLD, BOYZ and THE SUN.
This resulted in BEACH receiving funding to re-record his highly acclaimed debut album "MISSING THE ACTION" in late 2005 which produced the stunning new album that is "BACK + FORTH", finished in January 2006.
Things bode well for BEACH in 2006 as "MISSING", the first single from the new album has already been featured on the WINTER OLYMPICS by the BBC and was recently chosen as the official single of the NATIONAL MISSING PERSONS HELPLINE's SUMMER SEARCH campaign. It is being released in MAY 2006 and all proceeds will go to the charity.
