About the Band
An unbreakable bond shared between lifelong mates, Dave and Henry hail from the tiny farming community of Kojonup, a town three hours south of Perth, Western Australia.
Starting out as school friends and rehearsing in a makeshift space in an old farm shed, Old M ervs are a far cry from their humble beginnings.
Riding a wave of wins, Old Mervs are celebrating a massive 2025 after the success of their ARIA-charting debut album release and sold out tours across Australia, the United States, the UK and Europe.
Recorded with ARIA award-winning producer Chris Collins, their debut self-titled album scored coveted Australian youth broadcaster triple j’s Feature Album of the week and landed at #1 on the ARIA album charts, winning hearts with hits “Parched“, “What You’ve Lost",“Forget It”, “Everyone Will See It” and “Don’t Go”.
In 2025, the pair embarked on a mammoth 20 date album tour across Australia and New Zealand along with their biggest headline home-state show to date at Perth HPC. They then headed to the US to play at world-renowned festival Lollapalooza alongside names like Olivia Rodrigo, Tyler the Creator and Sabrina Carpenter, bookended by a massive run of headline shows across the States, stopping in for a Audiotree session too. They closed out the year with a return to the UK and their first ever shows in Europe.
This year looks to be just as big, if not bigger. With new music in the pipeline, and a stack of touring at home and across the globe, Old Mervs are thrilled to return to the US again for a stack of huge headline shows, along with Kilby Block Party, Gov Ball and more dates to be announced!

Old MervsLifelong friends Henry Carrington-Jones and David House (Old Mervs) grew up together on farms outside of Kojonup, a tiny town approximately three hours south of Perth, Western Australia. As high schoolers they cleared out a stable to use as a rehearsal space for their new band, named after one of Henry’s family farm working dogs. With Henry on drums and David on guitar/vox, it was truly humble beginnings. Old Mervs are considered one of the most exciting rock acts in Australia. Breakout singles ‘Cellphone’ (2020), ‘Where I Go’ (2022), and ‘Sweetheart’ (2023) have been streamed in the millions; while their second EP, Give It Up (2023), debuted at #2 on the ARIA Australian Albums chart; and in January ‘Sweetheart’ landed at #47 in the 2023 triple j Hottest 100. The duo has supported huge international artists, including Liam Gallagher and The Wombats, as well as local heroes Spacey Jane and King Stingray. They also boast a dedicated fanbase of their own, having sold out multiple national tours and performed heroic appearances on premiere festival line-ups, including Splendour In The Grass,Groovin the Moo and Yours and Owls. They’re set to play the biggest shows of their career in 2024, when they embark on their ‘How The Fark Are Ya?’ tour across Australia and New Zealand, this August and September.
