As products of the original "punk" movement, the members of Mercy Killers carry the torch with the strength of 10 men. Growing up on bands like The Damned, T.S.O.L., Generation X and The Clash has provided Fairbaugh and Co. with the inspiration needed to create something new and refreshing, all the while keeping in mind the threatening poise and noise of their punk-rock forefathers. It is evident on their debut release that there is true chemistry between the members of this clandestine musical society... ...for this society rewards only the strong and shows mercy only to those deserving. It casts out weakness and cowardice like they were the black plague themselves. It has and will continue to strike its enemies with the sonic force of the atom bomb. And it embraces blood and flame like a mother does her new born baby. Welcome to the brotherhood of the Mercy Killers... - Matt Skiba, October 2005 MERCY: Compassion and forgiveness shown toward someone whom it is within one's power to punish or harm. KILLER: A person, animal or thing that kills. MERCY KILLERS: Craig Fairbaugh (Vocals/Guitar), Sam Soto (Bass/Vocals) and Colin Barill (Drums) -------- CRAIG FAIRBAUGH: It didn't take young Fairbaugh long to figure out what his calling in life would be. At a young age, picking up a guitar would set a course that has taken him to almost every corner of the globe, as well as into the company of Barrill and Soto.
