Mest - Broken Down

Review by Gonzalo Palacios

Broken Down is an album that showcases the raw and emotional side of Mest, a punk rock band from Illinois. The album features stripped-down versions of some of their most popular songs, as well as a few new tracks.

The lead singer, Tony Lovato, delivers powerful and heartfelt vocals throughout the album, particularly on tracks like "Jaded (These Years)" and "Rooftops." The acoustic instrumentation, including acoustic guitar and piano, adds a layer of vulnerability to the songs.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Drawing Board," a new song that showcases the band's ability to write catchy and relatable lyrics. The chorus, "Back to the drawing board, I'm starting over again," is a sentiment that many listeners can relate to.

About Mest

Since forming in a working class suburb of Chicago, USA in 1995, Mest have been tearing up the punk rock scene. Playing in local Chicago punk clubs, the group self-released their debut album, Mo Money, Mo 402z. The band got their first real break when front man Tony Lovato sent the bands album to Goldfingers John Feldmann who helped them get signed to Maverick Records, and produced their major-label debut, Wasting Time, which was released in July 2000. Since then the band has released 3 more albums on Maverick 2001s Destination Unknown, 2003s self-titled disc, and 2005s Photographsand toured the world as part of the Warped Tour. Tensions between the band members about the musical direction of the band, growing up, starting a family and not wanting to tour as much caused the band to break-up in 2006, and Mest announced their breakup, as well as a farewell tour entitled So Long and Thanx for the Booze. After spending some time off, Lovato was inspired to start writing music again. He joined up with new guitarist Mike Longworthand new drummer Lil Rich Gonzales. The end result was a series of pop-punk songs that paid tribute to Mests past, but pushed the band forward into the future. They released a new album, Not What You Expected. Lovato asked Tom Denney from A Day To Remember to co-write a song with him. The track is Radio (Something To Believe) and is an ode to all the bands that the duo grew up listening to. Jeremy, from A Day To Remember, jumped in the studio to record a part for the song.
