Punk duo The Meffs reveal new single ‘God Complex’ feat. Donots

Essex punks The Meffs have revealed their newest single ‘God Complex’ ft. Donots, another glimpse of their second album Business, coming 11th September via FLG. 

The band comment: 

“Who are you when nobody’s watching? We all know someone who portrays the perfect life, ready to one-up you at any chance, but it’s a scary place behind the mask. Featuring special guest Ingo from German punk rock band, DONOTS, and with a huge earworm of a riff, this is The Meffs’ biggest genre-crossover to date. Taken from Business out on FLG in September. Produced by SiKth guitarist, Dan Weller.”

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.
