Mesh emerged in 1991 when Mark Hockings, the band’s lead singer, crossed paths with keyboardist Richard Silverthorn at a concert. Their meeting sparked the formation of a musical partnership that defines the band’s enduring legacy. Soon after, Neil Taylor, Richard’s former bandmate, joined on keyboards, solidifying the trio’s musical journey.The band’s creative synergy emerged from a division of roles: Richard Silverthorn composed the music, while Mark Hockings penned evocative and profound lyrics, infusing depth and emotion into their soundscapes.Their musical journey commenced with Memento Materia, resulting in the release of the EP “Fragile” in 1994 and the full-length album “In This Place Forever” in 1996. Subsequent years saw the band’s growth with releases like “The Point At Which It Falls Apart” and collaborations with producers such as Mark Oh, showcasing Mesh’s diverse musical inclinations.In 2002, Sony Records propelled Mesh further into the limelight with the release of “Who Watches Over Me.” This marked a turning point, ushering in a surge of popularity across Europe, particularly in Germany. Their collaboration with former Depeche Mode producer Gareth Jones for “We Collide” solidified their status in the electronic music realm.Adapting to lineup changes, Mesh continued their musical journey as a duo, augmenting live performances with drummer Sean Suleman (2007-present) and additional live keyboardists. The band strengthened their global presence, signing with Dependent Records in Europe and securing representation from Metropolis Records in the US and South America.Notable achievements include “Automation Baby” in 2013, their most successful album, climbing to number 33 on the German charts and dominating the European Alternative Charts. “Looking Skyward” (2016) propelled them to even greater heights, securing a number 12 position on the German charts.Demonstrating artistic versatility, Mesh collaborated with a classical orchestra at the ‘Gothic meets Klassik’ festival in 2015. The recorded performance, expanded with additional studio tracks, showcased their ability to transcend musical boundaries and captivate audiences globally.Mesh continues their musical evolution, welcoming Vaughn George to their live lineup in April 2023. This addition promises new dimensions to their performances, reaffirming their commitment to pushing sonic boundaries and captivating audiences worldwide.Mark Hockings and Richard Silverthorn are currently working on their next studio album, set for release in Spring 2026. The band will also be on tour in April and May 2026 with “The Truth Doesn’t Matter Tour”.
