The somewhat awkwardly-named Mesh-29 dispense a very teary brand of anthemic rock. Led by their clearly very emotional frontman Adam Mezzatesta, they are reminiscent of several Coldplay clones. The lead track, bolstered by a steady piano melody and an abundance of strings is stadium friendly but a little OTT for my liking. ‘Questions’ tones down the lush surroundings for more soft-focus seriousness whilst ‘Cigarette’, probably the best of the bunch, contains some nice lyrical touches and a good hook leading up to the chorus. Given that they are in a well-populated category though, it will be tough for Mesh-29 to reach out beyond support slot status.
