Formed in 2006, Mervander has taken a course in heavy riff rock that explodes with energy not seen since the hey day of classic 70's rock. Oliver Renon first heard Nathan singing on recordings made in Detroit and flew from England to start a bond that has yealded a tight sound. In the first year, they both traveled back and forth from Detroit to England with bassist Karim Meraga to make their first recordings and polish their sound. They were then introduced to drummer Wesley David in January 2008. Mervander is just getting warmed up, so check them out before it gets blistering hot!

Our name's origin.

Dec 7, 2007

Mervander is the world champion English Bulldog bloodline. Olly's dog 'Winston' was sired by the world champion 'Mervander the Golden Gambler' who is located in Moscow, Russia. Winston's pedigree name is 'Mervander the Slab of Solid Gold'. Winston is the man, so we named the band after his bloodline.

Karim Meraga

I am a country boy from the heart of Devonshire England. I play bass in Mervander of which I am the youngest member. I love my band and the lifestyle it allows me to live, so far it has taken me to Boston MA and now Detroit. Nothing makes me feel better than rocking out on stage in front of a good crowd, so keep an eye out for us!

Nathan Abramson

I've had a great time bouncing back and forth with my British brothers across the pond! Now the Brits are on my home turf, Mervander is set up and ready to rock Detroit style! I'll do my best to keep the British invasion under control, but who knows what'll happen, come and see for yourself at our next show!

Olly Renon

Some of the best times I've ever had has been with my bandmates, I love this band. When I'm not playing in Mervander I practice Shaolin Kung fu, a passion of mine since a young age. I hope the people of Detroit like the sound of the band and enjoy the shows as much as we do. Joe Perry of Aerosmith once told me to "Play Hard", so I am here in Detroit to do just that.

Wesley David

Born in Raleigh, NC and raised in Detroit, MI, I enjoyed a childhood filled with strong musical influence and an absolute appreciation for the pioneers of Classic Rock. My influences include John Henry Bonham, Neal Peart and Stewart Copeland. When I'm not jamming out to Zeppelin tunes, I can be found breaking noses at the local ice rink where I love playing hockey.
