    They're Good Charlotte's support band, their vocalist is best friends with Benji Madden and they've just released their latest album, "Destination Unknown". Check them out. I recommend "Jaded", a song featuring vocals from Benji. You'll probably like them if you like Good Charlotte or Goldfinger. ^_^

    HUGE fan of Mest! ;)

    Actually, their latest album is self-titled. Destination Unknown was their second album. I've just recently saw them live with Good Charlotte and Goldfinger on October 24th. They gave a SICK performance. Mest rules.

    Lucky you. I love that song they did with Benji. :p

    Sort of...I don't know their music to well though, so I'm probably not the best person to explain.

    I liked Jaded (a lil cliche, but nice) and I love their song Rooftops...what's the new album like lyrically?

    Mest are supposed to be a bit heavier than Good Charlotte. They remind me sometimes of New Found Glory with better vocals. :lol:

    Mest and GC are performing in London on December 17 but as usual...I can't go. :(

    Oh, man. I hate New Found Glory. Too poppy for me.

    Even though I am a fan, I tend to think Mest's lyrics have always been a little corny, especially their first album, Wasting Time. Songs like "What's The Dillio", "Electric Baby", and "Girl For Tonight" I find corny but they're still great songs though. I do think their 3 albums that they have out are definitely worth a listen to. A lot of their lyrics are about being with a girl/breaking up with a girl...stuff like that.

    I don't really find them being like Good Charlotte. Mest has that pop-punk/emo/ska style of music. Good Charlotte is pop-punk.

    Edit: Mest sounds like Goldfinger. So if anyone is familiar with Goldfinger's music, then that is what Mest sounds like. John Feldmann, singer of Goldfinger, has produced & mixed all of Mest's albums.

    I'm not a big fan of them. They write about some wierd things. I always hear stuff about f this and f that and I don't know. Tony was really rude to the crowd when I went but they do put on a great live show. I'll give them that.

    It's weird that Goldfinger is touring with Good Charlotte.. and opening for them. The only Mest song I truly like is What's The Dillio. The video is great, classic.
