“It’s work, it’s war, it’s politics, it’s our health”: The Meffs announce new album, Business

The Meffs have announced their new, second studio album, Business.

Arriving on September 11 via FLG, the Essex punk duo – vocalist/guitarist Lily Hopkins and drummer Lewis Copsey – state of the Dan Weller-produced LP: “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.”

They’re previewing what’s to come with the raging title-track, explaining that, “In life you’re told to be your ‘authentic self’, but only if your ‘authentic self’ fits a mould, only if your ‘authentic self’ is on brand. We’re not hard enough but we’re not soft enough, we’re not queer enough but we’re too queer, etc. We’re okay with that; we know who we are and we know what we stand for. Business is a love song.”
