Sounds Like
The MESS' sound can best be described as shots of Classic rock,
Punk, Glam, Acoustic and Metal, poured into one blender and mixed into one hell of a high octane cocktail. Our sound is basically the spiritual invocation of our influences all meshed together. The
results are us playing the most difficult, entertaining songs we can whether it is on our acoustic guitars or with the full on electric driven incarnation.
The MESS is all about giving our most sincere performances without bleeding
to death onstage. Because you have to bleed a little when you sing, or else
the words don't mean a thing.
Welcome friends, fiends and sex machines, to our little spot on the web.
We're an NEPA based rock n roll band called "The MESS".
If you're not
familiar with us or our sound, We take an insane blend of Classic rock,
Acoustic rock, Glam, Punk, and Metal and throw it into a blender with the
result being us as we are without compromises. Although this band is our
main passion in life any other free time is put towards partying and having
as good of a time as humanly possible without getting arrested. So if you're looking for a little something different, rather than the old dreadful Dave Matthews cover band, come on out to see us. We play a lot
in the local scene of NEPA and hopefully we'll see you at a MESS show
sometime soon, having too much to drink with us. Cheers!!!
