Sea Mouse

**Sea Mouse** is the scrappy DIY indie punk brainchild of Portland-based musician Alex Mercy, serving up raw, relatable anthems since the late 2010s. Known for their lo-fi charm and self-recorded ethos, the project blends gritty pop-punk energy with Midwest emo introspection, soundtracking quarter-life crises with tracks like "Quit My Job" and "Cold and Lonely." Recent releases like "Evil Heart" and "Gearbox" showcase Mercy’s knack for wrapping existential dread in catchy, fuzzed-out guitar hooks and lyrics that oscillate between self-deprecating humor and earnest vulnerability. Whether they’re chronicling dead-end jobs or dissecting late-night overthinking sessions, Sea Mouse remains a beloved underdog in the underground scene, perfect for fans of *Jawbreaker* meets *Modern Baseball* vibes.
