YOU'RE NEXT! is an American indie pop band formed in Norfolk, Virginia, in 2015 by Travis Mercado (lead vocals, keyboards, instrumentation).
In 2009, Travis began his solo efforts as a singer/songwriter with SMITHS GO TO WASHINGTON, a rock band influenced by the decade's new wave/post-punk revival.
In 2011, after responding to each others local ads, Travis was recruited by college friend Ethan Mitchell to front local band ARA VEGA. The five-piece recorded 2 studio EP's and toured local venues up until Spring 2013.
Influenced by a wide range of more upbeat, lyric driven bands, notably VAMPIRE WEEKEND, THE POLYPHONIC SPREE, TALKING HEADS, and THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS, Travis began writing what would become the framework for YOU'RE NEXT! debut "Songs to Play Loudly.” Mixing street-smart melodies and rhythms with dark, playful lyrics, YOU’RE NEXT! boasts a love for pop and genre with heart and sincerity.
