Premieres Paint-Filled Music Video for
"Heartbeat" Exclusively with FLOOD
"Not since their 2013 debut has Brian Swindle written
songs as personal as those on Have Mercy's fourth
and latest album, The Love Life." - FLOOD
Upcoming Album The Love Life
Due out August 2, 2019
via Hopeless Records
July 30, 2019 - Baltimore, MD - Have Mercy has teamed up with FLOOD to premiere the music video for recent single "Heartbeat" today. On the video, front man Brian Swindle shares "I had the idea for this when we had an off day on tour. Ben Lieber set up a camera, we stole a bunch of food dye, and borrowed my buddy's bathtub for an hour. I spent a week or so editing this in a bumpy van but we made it work. I'm super happy with it." Fans can stream the new music video today at http://floodmagazine.com/65401/premiere-have-mercy-settle-into-a-bath-for-heartbeat-video/.
"Heartbeat" joins previously released singles "Mattress On The Floor" and "Clair" from the band's fourth full-length album, The Love Life. Along with producer Matt Squire (Panic! At The Disco, The Maine), who oversaw the album's three-week recording progress, the group spent time carving out room in the album's 11 songs for each element of their sound-whether intricate guitar lines or Swindle's visceral vocal performances-to take center stage or serve a complementary role, depending on the situation.
Coming off the 2017 Billboard charting album, "Make The Best Of It," singer and guitarist Brian Swindle is exploring the negative space in the bands music like never before. He shares, "This record is probably the most personal record since our first release. I wrote it to talk about everything I went through the last couple of years and how I was feeling during all of it. I want people to know that it's okay to be vulnerable and ask for help. If you don't then you may just be stuck in a bad place." The Love Life is set to be released August 2, 2019 via Hopeless Records and is available for pre-order today at http://smarturl.it/thelovelife.
The band will be joining The Early November and OWEL on tour this Fall. A full list of dates are below with tickets on-sale now at http://www.wearehavemercy.com/.

Will Facebook’s Libra Help Bring Cryptocurrency To The Masses?
When Facebook announced plans for a stablecoin called Libra, the reaction from the cryptocurrency world ranged somewhere between skeptical and cautiously optimistic.
But, regardless of any specific merits of Facebook’s version of a digital coin, the social-media giant’s move could help speed the adoption of cryptocurrency to a larger audience, says Kirill Bensonoff (www.kirillbensonoff.com), a serial entrepreneur and an expert in blockchain.
“The biggest issue now is that most people are not familiar with crypto; they think it’s difficult to use, and they may not trust it,” Bensonoff says. “Facebook will put a digital wallet on many phones and computers, and sending payments with crypto will become commonplace.”
Facebook’s Libra is proposed as a stablecoin, which is a form of cryptocurrency. Using Libra, people would be able to buy things or send money to others while paying, at most, minor fees. Unlike other cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, the value of stablecoins is tied to an asset such as gold, the U.S. dollar, the Euro or other currencies.
Facebook won’t have complete control of Libra. It’s just part of a bigger group of partners that’s creating the stablecoin.
What might all this mean for the future of cryptocurrencies – and for the average person who still knows little about them? Bensonoff says a few things worth knowing about Libra in particular and stablecoins in general include:
“I believe Libra is going to have a positive impact in terms of awareness, adoption and interest in cryptocurrency from both businesses and consumers,” Bensonoff says. “But at the same time, with that could come more regulatory scrutiny.”
