History
Merit was formed in 2012 in Phoenix, Arizona. Taking their influence from the emo greats of the 1990s and doing their best to bring that sound into a modern setting, Merit has already begun to build a name on as much raw honesty as possible in their music. In the last nine months, Merit has numerous shows with bands such as Touche Amore, Polar Bear Club, Joyce Manor, Pity Sex, Daytrader and more; as well as playing with My Iron Lung on 5 different occasions and doing a short west coast tour with I Call Fives, remaining friends with both. Merit has written and recorded 2 sets of demos as well as their first EP, which was released March 30, 2013. Between all the shows, songs, being featured on several podcasts, played on the radio in Idaho and featured in Alternative Press magazine, the word has begun to spread about Merit.
After a line up change in 2014, Merit has plans to release 3 E.P.s in 2015.
