The band comment: “We should be angry that we live in a world where people need to seek asylum, not angry at the people seeking asylum. The establishment want to cause division, they want us to argue between ourselves, because it takes eyes off of them. People are fighting for their rights and their lives, they’re being displaced, and it’s fucking tragic, yet the narrative is that it’s those people’s fault that you can’t get a job or afford fuel. Wake up. We’re not the enemy and nor are you.”
The new single follows the news of The Meffs‘ support to Joan Jett And The Blackhearts on their first UK headline tour in 16 years. Dates:
July 2 – Glasgow, O2 Academy
July 4 – Manchester, Academy
July 5 – Leeds, O2 Academy
July 7 – Wolverhampton, University Of Wolverhampton at the Civic Hall
July 8 – London, British Airways ARC
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.
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 – and are currently supporting Stiff Little Fingers across the UK.
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.
The Meffs are:
Lily Hopkins (vocals/guitar)
Lewis Copsey (drums/backing vocals)
