Cousins Matt Lov… Read Full Bio ↴Mest is a pop punk band from Blue Island, Illinois.
Cousins Matt Lovato and Tony Lovato formed the band together in October 1995. The band's last guitarist, Jeremiah Rangel, joined the band in 1998. Their previous guitarist was Steve Lovato, Tony Lovato's brother. Nick Gigler joined the band in 1997 and has been their drummer ever since.
In 1998, the band self-released Mo' Money, Mo' 40z. Their debut album on Maverick Records, Wasting Time, was released in July 2000 and Destination Unknown in 2001. They toured as an opening band for Goldfinger on July 20, 2002 in Las Vegas and then a few months later, released a DVD called The Show Must Go Off! in January 2003. Later that same year, the band released their self-titled album, which featured the single Jaded (These Years), featuring Benji Madden of Good Charlotte.
In 2005, a tour with Social Distortion was cut short when drummer Nick Gigler required surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome in his wrists which was affecting his drumming. The band's last album, Photographs, was released October 18, 2005.
In 2006, the band announced on their MySpace blog that they had decided to cease performing together.
Their vocalist Tony Lovato released this statement:
Friday, January 13, 2006
"someday ill explain xoxo, sorry to say this is not some sort of joke or something to do with Friday the 13th weird though i didn't even realise it. well when i typed it, it was the 14th. Im in Japan.. we are not turning our backs on our fans.. come on. someday ill explain the reason/reasons. i debated telling everyone but figured its better to be honest and to let the people know that want to see us one last time.. its been 10 years, 5 records and I've seen the world. its been my life. trust me this is harder on me than ANY of you. i wouldn't have changed a thing. I've done and seen more in the past 10 yrs than most people will experience in there entire life. and its because of you guys so thank you. thank you to the people that I've affected with my music and thank you to the people that have affected me through my music. weve had a great run.. i love you all.....Tony"
On March 13, 2008, Tony Lovato posted a bulletin on his MySpace about "Mest's ONE NIGHT STAND," a show that Mest would play at the House of Blues in Anaheim, California, on April 17, 2008. In response, Nick Gigler posted a bulletin through his personal MySpace and confirmed that he would not be taking part, and that he had called Jeremiah Rangel and Matt Lovato, who had confirmed that they would not be appearing with Tony either.
After the one-off "ONE NIGHT STAND" show, Tony decided to rebuild Mest and go on a month long tour, with help from Chris Wilson (Good Charlotte, The Summer Obsession), and his brother and founding member, Steve Lovato (at the time in Room One Eleven). Although Matt showed interest, he and Jeremiah were both reported to be too busy with other commitments to join. Nick and Tony have not been on speaking terms since the band broke up.
Mest went on a European in Spring 2012 with its current members and also toured the US with Escape the Fate and Attack Attack in 2012.
Mest released their album "Not What You Expected" in September, 2013, making it available for free to download from their website. Mest played 3 dates on the Warped Tour 2013
Broken Down is an acoustic album, funded by a Kickstarted project. On November 13, 2013 a Kickstarter was started by Tony Lovato, and was successfully funded December 11. Much of the songs are acoustic renditions of songs from almost all their albums except Mo' Money, Mo' 40z and Not What You Expected.
A 2014 tour is in the works.

On My Mind
Mest Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Changing a thought from day to day
One day I thought I'd like to
And the next day I just didn't know
The problem is I'm gonna see you
Every day and at every show
But then I see this other girl
I think I'm too strange for her
That's why I'm macking you
Too many thoughts in my mind
I think I would rather be blind
'cause then I wouldn't dream about you
And you wouldn't be on my mind
You're always on my mind
I don't know how to let you know
How I feel about you
I guess I'll just write another song
'cause that's all I know how to do
And when the tale of crushing's done
And then just write another one
But I don't think this time my arm
Is going to run write
But then I see this other girl
My mind went into another world
I think I'm too strange for her
That's why I'm macking you
Too many thoughts in my mind
I think that I would rather be blind
'cause then I wouldn't dream about you
And you wouldn't be on my mind
You're always on my mind
I hope you will understand
I hope you can understand
When you are not
You know how to relate
And I hope you will understand
I hope you don't laugh at me
And take this as a joke
I hope you will understand
'cause believe me this time
These feelings are for real
Too many thoughts in my mind
I think I would rather be blind
'cause then I wouldn't dream about you
And you wouldn't be on my mind
You're always on my mind
Get up
Too many thoughts in my mind
I think I would rather be blind
'cause then I wouldn't dream about you
And you wouldn't be on my mind
You're always on my mind
You'll always be on my mind

Line by Line Meaning
My mind thinks in a weird way
My thoughts are unconventional and don't adhere to a typical pattern
Changing a thought from day to day
My thoughts are often inconsistent and vary frequently
One day I thought I'd like to
At one point, I had a positive feeling towards a certain person
And the next day I just didn't know
Shortly after, my feelings changed and I was unsure about my desire for that person
The problem is I'm gonna see you
I am frequently in the presence of the person I am uncertain about
Every day and at every show
I encounter the person on a daily basis, especially in a professional context
But then I see this other girl
Despite my uncertainty, my attention has shifted towards another person
My mind went into another world
My focus on this new person has completely consumed me
I think I'm too strange for her
I worry that my unconventional thoughts will prevent me from connecting with this new person
That's why I'm macking you
Despite this uncertainty, I am still pursuing the original person
Too many thoughts in my mind
I am overwhelmed with conflicting feelings and ideas
I think I would rather be blind
I would prefer to not see the original person and avoid these feelings altogether
'cause then I wouldn't dream about you
If I were blind, I would not be able to visualize this person and subsequently dream about them
And you wouldn't be on my mind
Without visual stimuli, I hope this person will no longer consume my thoughts
You're always on my mind
This person is constantly in my thoughts
I don't know how to let you know
I am unsure about how to express my feelings towards this person
How I feel about you
The nature of my feelings for this person are complicated and unclear
I guess I'll just write another song
Writing music is my only outlet for expressing my emotions towards this person
'cause that's all I know how to do
Music is my primary form of creative expression and communication
And when the tale of crushing's done
Once my feelings have been resolved or have faded away
And then just write another one
I will move on to another subject and continue writing music
But I don't think this time my arm
I do not think I have the creative energy to continue writing music about this person
Is going to run write
I may not be able to produce music about this person anymore
I hope you will understand
I hope this person will be able to empathize with or appreciate my feelings
When you are not
When you are not present
You know how to relate
In hindsight, this person is able to understand my emotions and connect with me
I hope you don't laugh at me
I am worried that this person will not take my emotions seriously and ridicule me
And take this as a joke
I am worried that this person will not understand the depth of my feelings
'cause believe me this time
I am being truthful about the sincerity of my emotions at this moment
These feelings are for real
I am not just infatuated, but truly emotionally invested in this person
Get up
An encouraging statement, urging someone to rise from their seated or lying position
You'll always be on my mind
This person will continue to be a prominent figure in my thoughts
