TIME OUT REVIEW of debut single "Burning up"
History
UK solo artist Beach Mercer had a very successful 2005 with debut demo single "Burning up"
featured as single of the week on GMTV Entertainment Today (ITV1) in june. It reached
number 1 on the Wanadoo download chart upon its release in july and the video
was given 4 out of 5 stars on the Top of the pops online website.
Second demo single "Change" (september 2005) received strong support on UK regional radio and in
the UK national press with featured articles in The Saturday Times, Music Week, Irish World, Boyz
and The Sun. This resulted in Beach Mercer receiving funding to re-record his highly acclaimed
debut album "Missing The Action" in late 2005 which produced the stunning new album that is
"BACK + FORTH", finished in January 2006. Things bode well for Beach in 2006 as "Missing",
the first single from the new album has already been featured on the winter olympics by
the BBC and was recently chosen as the official single of the National Missing
Persons Helpline's Summer Search campaign. It is being released in may 2006
and all proceeds will go to the charity.
How it all started
Beach Mercer started making music after picking up a guitar in the long, not particularly hot summer
after leaving school. Originally hailing from Manchester, Beach ultimately drifted south to
become a resident of London village, that small town in southern England.
Having played in numerous guitar bands over the years, Beach Mercer recently decided
to strike out on his own and the album BACK + FORTH was born, creating a unique
and exciting blend of classic guitar pop colliding with rock and dance.
