The Meffs

Sometimes all you need is a guitar and drums to raise all the ruckus that your punk heart desires, which is something that the Colchester, Essex based the Meffs have taken to heart.  The duo consists of Lily Hopkins on the guitar and vocals, spilling her angry guts out every song, paired with drummer Lewis Copsey, not quite taking his foot off the pedal at any point. Their music is built around a more classic punk style with its adrenaline rush and propulsive sound. As loud and wild and explosive as they are, they are also melodic because Hopkins infuses her songs with practically hummable tunes, and sometimes even some old school hard rock worthy riffs. She also does a good job in balancing her ire with sarcasm in her lyrics, and that is about the only break that this fireball of a band is interested in granting the listener.
