After being invited to join Frank Turner at his 2021 Lost Evenings Festival, The Meffs played Rebellion in 2022 and 2023 and Download Festival last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A couple of self-released CD and a handful of singles during lockdown brought them to the attention of NOFX’s Fat Mike, who signed them to the new Bottles To The Ground<\/a> imprint of his Fat Wreck Chords label.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It released their EPs Broken Britain PT. 1<\/em> and Broken Britain PT. 2<\/em>, and they have been working with Frank Turner on what will be their debut album proper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clowns <\/em>is the first track to be released from the album, whose release yet to be revealed, and it comes complete with its own video.<\/p>\n\n\n

It sees The Meffs still railing against inequality around England, but their sound is maturing, and they are finding more confidence in their art. The guitars are now distorted and groovier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The track is described as “Lily\u2019s take on British politics, which will resonate with much of the gen pop in society as she highlights the reality of what\u2019s going on \u2013 and going wrong \u2013 with the government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
