Cry Mercy is a Diamond in the Rough, as is Linda Nunez!
author: MoFo Times
From the moment you turn Cry Mercy on, you want to turn it up! Within the first strains of the title track your head starts to bob and you find that your toes are tapping! It's then that you realize that you have stumbled upon a solidly produced 'rock in the classic sense' indie effort. Who is this gal? Where does she come from? How come we haven't heard too much about her? She really should be signed, don't you think? Well, I guess it depends. The true answer to any of those questions has one root. It's called... Money.

Linda Nuñez and her band make unabashed power-rock!
author: Jon Sobel
Linda Nuñez and her band make unabashed power-rock. Inspired as much by 70’s icons Pat Benatar and Heart as by 90’s alternative bands like Live and Soundgarden, Nuñez sings in an unstoppable belt that’s very refreshing in this age of little-girl voices. And it’s not just her singing style and ballsy harmonies that evoke 70’s arena rock, it’s also her dramatic, sometimes deliciously over-the-top songwriting. A touch of Latin flavor (as in “Havana”), a soft underbelly (“Either Way”) and a proud but not heavy-handed gay identification give this artist plenty of crossover juice, too.
The best songs are up front: “Cry Mercy” is a monster jam, and it’s hard to get the chorus of “Love In Pieces” out of your head once you’ve heard it. “Yea” is a headbanger’s delight that Beavis and Butthead would surely have labeled cool, and “That’s Where I Went Wrong” is a solid power-pop anthem. The songs on the second half of the CD have less hit potential, but the power never lets up, and if you like one Nuñez song, you’ll probably like the whole album. It has depth, and it rocks: two for two in my book.
