Even though the Mekons released their very first single nearly thirty years ago, the Leeds troupe didn’t find notoriety until the release of the 1989 classic The Mekons Rock ‘n’ Roll. And while Jon Langford and the rest of the band members now play in approximately 487 side projects, the Mekons are still chugging along, with a new album due this year. For those who’ve always wondered what all those “I (Heart)” shirts were about in the early ’90s, here are two of our favorite Mekons moments–one defiant, one dreamy:
