Mark Perkins is a singer, musician, and producer from Auckland, New Zealand. "Merk", his stage name, derives from a fusion of his first and last, and, similarly, his sound is a combination, too—one of punk and pop. Attempting to combine the opposite genres is a noble task, for sure, and Perkins here manages to execute with a whimsical flare. "I'm Easy" and "Manchuria" evidence this, and they also leave us wondering what more fusions from the genres could yield.
