Biography

Since forming in a working class suburb of Chicago, United States 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' 40'z". The band got their first real break when front man Tony Lovato sent the band's album to Goldfinger's 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 three more albums on Maverick —2001's "Destination Unknown", 2003's self-titled disc, and 2005's "Photographs"—and 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 Mest's 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.

LYRICS

[VERSE:]
I can recall only this one time
This kind of control the girl had on my mind
I'm falling deep, I can't get out
I've never acted this way before
[CHORUS:]
I spent days and nights in my bedroom
Trying to write the perfect song to sing to you
Write a song a day but she won't like it anyway
Back to the drawing board
With the words you've heard a million times before

[VERSE:]
Feeling alone, and she's on my mind
Try to erase all the pain from that time
She's breaking up, and I'm breaking down
Now I'm headed out of this fucked up town

[CHORUS:]
I spent days and nights in my bedroom
Trying to write the perfect song to sing to you
Write a song a day but the band won't like it anyway
Back to the drawing board
With the words you've heard a million times before
In your head

[BRIDGE:]
So love me, so I can be myself again
Now hate me, so things seem normal in my head
I'm trying, to break away this ball and chain
Now hate me, so things seem normal in my head
Things seem normal in my head

[CHORUS:]
I spent days and nights in my bedroom
Trying to write the perfect song to sing to you
I spent days and nights in my bedroom
Trying to write the perfect song to sing to you
Write a song a day but she won't like it anyway
Back to the drawing board
With the words you've heard a million times before
In your head I am dead
