Fast-rising Essex punks THE MEFFS have just released their second single and they're premiering the video with Vive Le Rock!
Packing a severe punch for a two-piece, and clearly taking a lead from the early 80s anarcho scene, the angry 'Scum' is the Colchester duo's second single and first new material since the release of their highly-rated self-titled debut album released last year.
"At just 1 minute 25 seconds long, we try to confront shutterbugs and the media about their perceived right of intrusion," they say. "'Scum' references celebrity culture and the detrimental effects of fake news. Lyrics such as, '…oh well, so what, you said it's worth a shot. If you make a quid a minute then you're making quite a lot!' try to highlight the focus on reaching an end goal at any cost, regardless of the damage caused to others."
Having spent the past year just itching to get out there and play live, Lily (guitar/vocals) and Lewis (drums/backing vocals) have already been lined up for Bristol's Attitude Festival in September alongside Riskee & The Ridicule, Bob Vylan and The Blue Carpet Band, and a show at Lewes Con Club in January next year with Subhumans. Their diary is filling up fast - make sure you don't miss 'em!
