THE MEFFS – WHAT A LIFE – ALBUM REVIEw
The Meffs captured attention with their two ‘Broken Britain’ EP’s, which delivered a scathing indictment of modern life soundtracked by a blistering punk rock assault on the senses. Subsequently the duo has established their credentials with a constantly growing list of impressive live performances.
For their first full-length traditional album, ‘What A Life’, it probably shouldn’t be a surprise then that the duo are offering more of the same. Bad news for anybody hoping for a bloated prog-rock opera, but bliss for fans ready to double-down on their love of classic punk rock rowdiness!
Over the course of 33 fast paced minutes the band have managed to capture their raw live energy on record which is some achievement! Working again with Frank Turner on the album, together they’ve managed to give these songs a new shine which makes them sound ready for the larger audience that is sure to jump on board the good ship Meffs.

From the cutting opener ‘Stamp It Out’ to the methodically heavy ‘What’, each track adds something important to the record, either through their crushing lyrical insights, their sonic exuberance or in most cases – both!
From the tongue in cheek to the brutally honest, the undertones of the record once again manage to perfectly capture the tone of the divided world whilst providing a call to arms to those who just want a fair crack at life.
That message of hope is of course the most important take away from this record… however recognition of the passion put into this album is also a significant note.
The final ringing out of the instruments at the end of ‘What’ is reminiscent of their riotous live shows and just as in that setting, leaves you wanting more of this musical shot of adrenaline!
