Taking their name from Bob Dylan's 26th studio album, Australian outfit Oh Mercy also take influence from Dylan's folk-infused rock. Formed in Melbourne, Oh Mercy first came to prominence by winning the 2007 Victoria round of a Triple J Unearthed competition. Releasing their debut EP, In the Nude for Love, in 2009, they scored numerous positive reviews for their idiosyncratic mix of indie pop and classic rock. Following up with their self-recorded debut album, Privileged Woes, a few months later, they went on to tour for 18 months, scoring a support slot with Crowded House and making their debut on U.S. soil at the 2010 South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas. The band released its second album, Great Barrier Grief, in 2011. ~ Richard Wilson
