On their sweeping new single “Famous Friend”, the London-based rock band The Mess:Age crafts an evocative ode exploring the intricacies and resilience of friendship over time. Lead singer Ziggy writes deep words that express both fragility and optimism; he sings them with passion. The guitars and melodies are blurred and blend together, creating a hazy atmosphere for the listener. Even the smallest details in the atmosphere contribute to the overall nostalgic and positive tone. Through poignant songwriting and performances, The Mess:Age shows their ability to make anthemic rock with substance that is subversive.
Led by the charismatic vocalist Glen Brandon “Ziggy” and rounded out by the virtuosic talents of Paul Gold and Jaime Page, The Mess:Age has gradually established a passionate international audience with their powerful songs and thought-provoking lyrics. On “Famous Friend”, the band gives another epic track that will surely become one of the band’s most beloved songs. Ziggy sings with a deep feeling about friendship and how it is not always easy. The lyrics of the song are quite suggestive and the manner in which he sings the song gives it a strong message of loyalty, trust and memories. Joined by the typical wall of guitars and driving beats, the song is equally ready to fuel arena shows or introspection.
Across multiple climactic movements, The Mess:Age composes a musical narrative of memories, dreams and determination that is reminiscent of the endurance of love. Synths and flourishes of keys give it a space-age feel for the contemplation of life’s most valuable assets. Complex melodic hooks and a stomping groove lend the composition momentum for both intimate listening sessions and nights of euphoric revelry. Through “Famous Friend”, The Mess:Age has produced another anthem to career-defining impact. It underlines why this band is still in a class of its own when it comes to creating uplifting hard rock that engages the head as well as the heart. Very few acts can fuse musical reverie with thoughtful lyricism so profoundly and authentically as The Mess:Age.
