Essex-based punk duo reveals their newest single getting closer to the release of band’s new LP, ‘Business’ – coming out 11th September via FLG.
“More attitude than the stroppiest of teens” – Classic Rock
Commenting on today’s drop The Meff say: “Punk-edged alt-rock with a message. We’re born aware of our mortality but ignore we’re destroying the world we call home — a cry for change where history keeps repeating. There’s no music on a dead planet.”
Despite a whirlwind 2025, which included supports with The Sex Pistols, The Undertones, selling out headline shows across the UK and Europe, Glastonbury, 2000trees, and Download Festival, Lily (guitar and vocals) and Lewis (drums) somehow managed to find the time to write and record 11 tracks of their most politically charged, hard-hitting music to date.
With producer Dan Weller at the helm, Business is a modern punk classic. Fan favourites like ‘So Modern’ (Keep Up)’ are captured with all the energy and scuzziness from the band’s live show, and title track ‘Business’ goes hard, taking taking aim at the challenges found within today’s music industry.
| There is no shortage of fast paced moments; ‘Love To Lose’ is the ideal hype song, while ‘Fight’ crams minutes of energy into one thirty second burst. Other highlights include ‘Disorder (Wake Up)’ – a commentary on the world as we know it; or ‘Like Gravity’, a journey of self-deprecation. On Business, The Meffs prove they are not a band to be pigeonholed. Commenting on the concept behind the new LP, the band explains: “Business is everything. It’s work, it’s war, it’s politics, it’s our health. Business is angry and ugly, it’s vulnerable and it speaks for all of us. I wanted to make an album that pins you to the wall from start to finish, and that’s what Business does.” |
| Since exploding onto the UK scene, The Meffs have built up a reputation as purveyors of frantic punk rock and an absolute must-see live sensation. A hugely impressive DIY outfit, they have already supported Alice Cooper, Kings of Leon at BST Hyde Park, Bearded Theory, Beautiful Days festival, and The Damned. The duo are also Music Venue Trust patrons and longtime supporters of grassroots venues. |
Business will only see the band deliver their values to an ever-increasing circle – an unashamedly powerful record, political and astute, and begging to be played loud.Pre-order ‘Business’ coming out September 11 via FLG from now on here.
