The Mekons are a British band formed in the late 1970s as an art collective. They are one of the longest-running and most prolific of the first-wave British punk rock bands.^[2]^[3]

The band's style has evolved over time to incorporate aspects of country music, folk music, alternative rock and occasional experiments with dub.^[4] They are known for their raucous live shows.^[5]
