THE MEZZ: EMBRACING CHANGE WITH INSPIRING ANTHEMS



Oxford's indie-pop sensation, The Mezz, rode the waves of change in 2023 with the triumph of their debut EP, 'Avoid the Panic,' securing their spot as BBC Introducing's artist in residence. This journey isn't just a rise to fame; it's a tale of resilience, unity, and soul-stirring music.


In the face of adversity, drummer Charlie battled bowel cancer, threatening the band's future. Yet, The Mezz transformed tragedy into tenacity, emerging stronger with unwavering support from each other and their devoted fanbase.

Their music mirrors this victorious story. These aren't just indie-pop tunes; they're anthems of perseverance and hope.

Frontman Ben's insights into their new tracks reveal the depth of their creative process. 'Bridges' tackles the pressures of maintaining a flawless image in the age of social media, offering a candid reflection on authenticity versus acceptance.

Critics acclaim "Bridges" for its raw honesty and emotional depth, praising Ben's poignant vocals and the band's adept blend of indie-pop with a rock edge. The track serves as a potent commentary on modern identity, earning The Mezz accolades for their relatable themes and heartfelt songwriting.


Their latest track, 'Harbour The Feeling,' out January 17th, is a sequel to 'Bridges.' Ben describes it as a journey from grappling with societal expectations to embracing one's true self, shedding burdens and embracing what truly matters. The song symbolizes a moment of self-realization and empowerment, perfectly captured in its title.



The Mezz's story is one of transformation and triumph, their music a manifesto for courage, exploration, and embracing life's full spectrum. In a world filled with uncertainties, they offer a beacon of hope and unadulterated truth.

As 2024 unfolds, The Mezz transcends being just a band; they symbolize enduring human spirit and the healing power of music. Their journey is hitting its stride, and their songs continue to light the way through life's tumult.


On March 8th, via AWAL, The Mezz will release their second EP, marking a milestone in their evolving narrative.
