BIO & MUSIC
With all eyes seemingly on the international streetpunk scene during a time of boundless creativity, Guadalajara’s MESS stand poised to make a global impact. Influenced by the classic sounds of Oi! and UK82, the band brings a raw but catchy sensibility to their street level rock ’n roll anthems, sung mostly in English with a few in Spanish.
After making a huge impression with their opening salvo of singles and EPs as well as a split with UK heroes The Chisel, the 14-song LP Under Attack is MESS’s most fully formed creative vision to date, showcasing a timeless sound across songs like “Leave Me Alone,” “Fueled by Rage,” and the impossibly catchy mid-tempo anthem “In the City.” Taken together, this is the sound of the streets, tough as nails, but with an appeal to the human spirit of survival in a bleak society. Under Attack is the world according to MESS.
Originally released exclusively in Europe, this extraordinary debut LP has gone worldwide via Pirates Press Records!
