Tampa, FL’s Merchandise are sharing the opening track off of their Totale Nite LP which is due out April 2nd on the impeccable Iowa-based Night-People Records. Totale Nite was recorded in the fall/winter of 2012 at The House Ov Infinity which is currently where most members reside in Tampa, and the record was mastered by Sonic Boom of legendary psych rock band Spacemen 3. The album art was hand done by Shawn Reed, who runs the Night-People label and also plays in Wet Hair. Recently, Merchandise added Elsner Niño (formerly of Shoxx, Pollution) on drums and will be playing with them live from here on out. Elsner adds an intense amount of power to the band and his stage presence is equivalent to most frontmen out there. Additionally, guitarist David Vassalotti has just released an amazing solo cassette on Night-People as well. You can stream tracks, see an insane amount of tour dates and the album art below!
