The feeling of being brainwashed by a particular person, feeling like without listening, your life will fall apart.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Mess&#8217; is the start of a busy summer as Vermantics harness the momentum they&#8217;ve galvanised so far into an even bigger 2026.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We sat in the room discussing what to do next and this song just happened,&#8221; adds the band discussing &#8216;Mess&#8217;. &#8220;[We] wrote it in a very live room setting.
