YOU'LL SEE

by The Meffs

OI OI, ITS THE MEFFS. We are noisy, we have a lot to say, and our songs are short, so if you don't like it, you can listen twice just to make sure. 'YOU'LL SEE' is the first in a string of 2021 releases, taking a jab at various societal views. You know what to do. UP THE MEFFS!
