Indie rock band Mertens Folly released the 90’s pop punk-adjacent song “Bright Red Lipstick” on the 22nd of October of last year from Holmdel, United States.
Get ready for a wild ride with Mertens Folly‘s relatable anthem “Bright Red Lipstick”. The album is a consistent 14-track extravaganza of rock that pulls influences from across generations, including Muse, Green Day, and Blink 182.
Mertens Folly is an indie rock band from New Jersey consisting of Tom Flannery, John Flannery, and Niko, who are three multi-instrumentalists and writers each in their own right.
The song “Bright Red Lipstick” comes from the band’s 14-track debut album “I Just Wanna Learn A Lullaby” and is the second song on that album, while the rest of the album has emotionally charged songs on topics of love and life.
“Bright Red Lipstick” has an irresistible raw vibe from its relatable lyrics, catchy riff, and powerful vocal harmony between the singers of the group, as they pull some great elements extremely well from their influences.
The production of the song is very clean and modern, with every element coming through in the mix and can be clearly heard, while it remains grungy with the fuzzy distorted guitars that are iconic of punk rock.
