no album title has been officially
announced as of yet,  due out june.

Well lets see...Mest formed in the
summer of 1995. 4 kids from the south
side of Chicago. Tony
Lovato:vocals&guitar, Steve
Lovato:vocals&guitar, Matt lovato:bass,
and Nick Giggler:drums. Mest started
playing out that following winter in
front of a handful of fuckers, here and
there on the south side. Moving ahead,
the year was 1997. Tony met John Feldmann
after a Goldfinger concert in Chicago.
Ever since that point Tony tried to
keep in contact with Feldmann. By this
time Mest had a decent following around
the south side. In the latter part of
1997 the band was going through some
musical differences and decided to part
ways with Steve Lovato, Tony's brother,
and go on as a three piece band. they
continued as a 3 piece until January of
98. While playing as a 3 piece Tony
still felt that there should be a 2nd
guitar player. A friend of the band,
Jeremiah Rangel, auditioned for the
band. He really couldn't play guitar
worth a shit, but they decided to let him
into the band because of musical
similarities and friendship. So with a
new shitty guitar player on board Mest
continued on. In Febuary of 98 the band
began working on their 1st full length
record called mo money mo 40's,
recorded in March of 98 at Starr Traxx
Studios in Crestwood, IL. Shortly after
coming out of the studio Tony was
contacted by John Feldmann and asked if
Mest would like to open up for them at
the House of Blues in April. we were
pretty much shitting in our pants, and
of course we said yes. After the show
ended John told us to keep sending him
new demos, and literally the next year
he got us a demo deal with Maverick
Records.after hearing only 2 songs
Maverick signed Mest to a record
contract. John Feldmann is our sugar
daddy, and there are no words that could
describe how much thanx goes out to
him. except for maybe dick, pussy, shit
head, and dick licker. just kidding. That
pretty much sums our shit up for now,
for the most part.
