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 little 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 last year in Europe, the time has come for this extraordinary debut LP to go worldwide. Pirates Press Records is proud to team with MESS to release Under Attack on 12” Classic Black vinyl, 12” Black vinyl with White Splatter, and 12” Black & White AsideBside vinyl. Pre-orders commence via the PPR webstore on May 3, 2024, and the record will be available everywhere May 17! And keep your eyes out for a Pirates Press Records pressing of the band’s early 12” EP Intercity as well!
