Press To Meco, the three-man band based around Croydon formed in 2010 recently released a new EP titled ‘Affinity’.

A world full with the smell of weed and the faint stink of piss against boards lining the stages; boards full with posters for bands we’ve never heard of and will never be bothered to look up.
