Also announced today are folk-rock band Merry Hell who will be using their appearance to launch their forthcoming, second album 'Bury Me Naked'. Band founder and guitarist John Kettle said, "We want to express our massive gratitude to Off The Tracks. It was the first major festival we played, and to be coming back again is a real landmark for us – it means we've survived as well as grown. Being able to do the album launch at Off The Tracks really means a great deal to everyone in the band."
