unpeople

Unpeople, a project brimming with energy, and impassioned animosity with the state of the world and its effects on humanity. Guitarists Jake Crawford and Luke Caley recruited bassist Meg Mash and drummer Richard Rayner with a mission to combine earnest lyricism and hefty riffs with catchy melodies and luscious harmonies. If you're scouting for the next big thing in 2025, Unpeople should be high on your radar. Emerging from the ashes of the overlooked Brit-rock gem Press To MECO, this powerhouse quartet—featuring guitarist/vocalists Jake Crawford and Luke Caley, bassist Meg Mash, and drummer Richard Rayner—has a raw, urgent energy that feels like a band with everything to prove. Their sound channels the ferocity of modern alt-metal heavyweights like Code Orange, delivering a visceral punch that’s equal parts innovation and catharsis.
