Lethal Mercenaries - Foreign soldiers of fortune mounting their punk/hard rock insurgence

When Hong Kong born/Melbourne bred/Sydney-based Simon Li, a folk meets country meets punk solo performer (and former contributor to i94Bar.com - online 'zine dedicated to rock-n-roll from and influenced by rock-n-roll from the Motor City [Detroit] and The Bowery [NYC]) wanted to bring focus to his punk/hard rock/garage rock roots, a more appropriate and previously created alias "Charlie Lethal" was claimed/reclaimed to front "Lethal Mercenaries" a name created to lead a trio whom answered an SOS call for bands/performers in late 2013 for Sydney underground rock event "Rock-n-Roll Klub" curated by Bob Short (ex-The Light Brigade/Dead Rabids/Urban Guerillas/Filth).

Following the band's performance in late 2013 at "Rock-n-Roll Klub" Lethal Mercenaries throughout 2018 and 2019 at various studios/locations (including at Simon’s 116 Studios) recorded "Foreign Insurgence".

Making up the ranks of Lethal Mercenaries on "Foreign Insurgence" are "Dr. Gelignite" aka G. McBain (ex-The Men from UNCLE/Balkan Grill/Hell Crab City) on bass, "Slash and Burn Steve" aka S. Frosoni (ex-The Men from UNCLE/Glen and Glenda/The Light Brigade/Valparaiso Street Lights) on guitar and "Charlie Lethal" aka Simon Li (ex-The Phringe Dwellers/Valparaiso Street Lights/Dave Favours and The Roadside Ashes/Balkan Grill) on vocals/drums/guitar/bass.

"Foreign Insurgence" comprises eight original songs and present a dark, harsh perspective of reality and includes a song entitled ‘Eraserheads’ inspired by the David Lynch directed film "Eraserhead".
