The Meffs deliver a confrontational, triumphant performance on Business. “One of the greatest young songwriters in the UK today”

Louder · 2 hours ago

The Meffs, a Clacton-based punk duo of Lily Hopkins (vocals, guitar) and Lewis Copsey (drums), have released their second album, Business, following their 2024 debut What A Life. Produced by Dan Weller (known for his work with prog-metallers Sikth), the record is praised for capturing the band's confrontational live energy, with Hopkins singled out as one of the UK's most promising young songwriters for her sharp, socially observant lyrics.

The review highlights tracks including the 64-second opener Dreamin', the driving What A Nightmare, sardonic So Modern (Keep Up), and the title track Business, which mocks music industry marketing tropes. Hopkins's vocal style draws comparisons to Courtney Love and Hole, while the band's sound is noted for its heavy low end and near-live production quality, reflecting five years of consistent touring since forming in 2019.
