    Merchandise come from the Tampa hardcore Florida scene where they used to play in really bad neighborhoods inside of containers. From there the lead singer found weed and drinks after a hard breakout, and since then has found a sound that harkens to both modern sounds of John Maus or more twee sounds of the ninetees, but mixes in with the dominant Moressey-esque vox.

    It's fascinating territory and Merchandise sound like a band still exploring thier huge potential. [Aug 2013, p.73]

    Despite their reputation for aggressively noisy music, there’s a hesitancy to Totale Nite that feels nervous and self-conscious.

    While Totale Nite doesn’t tip toe around its skewed sensibilities, Merchandise demonstrates a healthy knack for turning its weirder, darker musical instincts into something palatable.
