Meffs, The

***Since exploding onto the East Anglian scene in 2019, The Meffs—aka Lily (vocals/guitar) and Lewis (drums/backing vocals)—have built up a reputation as purveyors of frantic punk bangers and an absolute must-see live sensation. After a multitude of talked-about performances, 2021 saw The Meffs destroy the Nick Alexander Memorial Trust stage at London's legendary Roundhouse for Frank Turner's four-date Lost Evenings festival. Following their 2019 demo (which they recorded in only one day!) and four singles recorded in the midst of a global pandemic, The Meffs returned to the studio with Frank Turner early 2022 to record, arguably, their best work yet on Broken Britain Pt. 1 & 2. Pulling no punches as ever, Lily calls out societal inequality at every turn over a wall of hard-hitting melodies. In the words of Frank Turner, "working on this record with The Meffs has been a privilege. It's an absolute monster".
