Mesh
No Fun At All
Philadelphia four-piece Mesh end a 5-year wait with debut LP No Fun At All, out Summer 2026 on Cincinnati's Feel It Records. Members Sims Hardin (guitar/vocals), Allison Durham (12-string guitar/vocals), Tom Riese (bass) and Steve Darling (drums) formed in 2019, taking inspiration from a blend of influences: early British post-punk, 80's indie and Philly living. Out of their local DIY scene, Mesh home-recorded their self-titled debut cassette, released in 2021 with Chicago's Born Yesterday Records. Following their debut tape, the band zeroed in on writing and performing new material locally while also completing several Midwest and East Coast tours. On No Fun At All, Mesh break away from lo-fi recording habits, leaning into clarity and depth with eleven new tracks. Songs like "Hold Onto" and "Boots On The Pavement" move with urgency, accented by Durham and Hardin's intertwined vocals and guitar work. "Atrophy" is a bright and jangly number highlighting Durham's voice and 12-string chime, while "Violent Peasant" captures a sardonic medieval critique of modern landlord/tenant inequities. No Fun At All is a playful yet mature, dynamic first LP from Mesh. Spin it til your turntable breaks.
