On the single the band comment:

“In life you’re told to be your ‘authentic self’, but only if your ‘authentic self’ fits a mould, only if you ‘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.“

On the album:

“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.” 

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.

“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.
