Project: Mersh captures the Minutemen at a pivotal moment in their career, recorded in February 1985 just before the untimely passing of singer and guitarist D. Boon. Renowned for their energetic blend of sharp-witted lyrics and inventive musicianship, the band delivers a tongue-in-cheek take on "commercial" rock without sacrificing their fiercely independent spirit.

This EP brims with social commentary, dry humor, and the band's trademark instrumental prowess, featuring standout tracks like "The Cheerleaders" and a raucous cover of Steppenwolf's "Hey Lawdy Mama." A key release on SST Records, Project: Mersh is an essential listen for fans of alternative and rock who appreciate edgy, thought-provoking songwriting and the legacy of one of punk's most influential trios.
