Merricat, gaze infused alt-rockers from Dublin, Ireland, met as a group of students in late 2024. They began taking their project seriously since 2025 and have been working together ever since. Their music draws inspiration from a wide range of bands and genres, with key influences including DIIV, The Smashing Pumpkins, Julie, and Mary and the Junkyard. Their two recent releases, "springfield glen” and “merrow”, mark important milestones in the band’s evolving musical direction and will be included on their debut EP, which is out now.

If you’ve been with us for any length of time, you already know: here at Cherry Rock we are unabashedly and wholeheartedly obsessed with Erin LeCount. She’s one of the most compelling new voices emerging from the UK, as an artist who doesn’t simply write songs, but builds emotional architectures you can walk through, heart-first.
