Sacramento post-hardcore band Merchants are releasing their debut six-track EP titled My Anchor, My Burden on Sept. 24, 2013. Considering they are a relatively new band, Merchants has generated a lot of steam. They formed in the summer of 2012 and released their first single, “Time Will Kill Us All,” shortly after, which took the blogosphere by storm and quickly gained the band a loyal following of fans eager to hear more. After releasing just their second single, “This Is Only the Beginning,” the band partnered with Sacramento-based industry powerhouse The Artery Foundation for a management deal and also hopped on their booking agency’s roster (Artery Global). With a diverse sound ranging from brutal breakdowns and powerful screams to luscious melody-filled choruses and everything in between, Merchants’ new EP will surely resonate with a wide range of heavy-music fans. Get it on iTunes and be sure to check out Merchants live at Ace of Spades on Sunday, Oct. 20, 2013 when they open for Atilla, Upon a Burning Body, The Plot in You and others.
