The Mekons are a
British rock band. Formed in the late 1970s as an art collective, they are one of the longest-running and most prolific of the first-wave British
punk rock bands. Through the years, the band's musical style has evolved, incorporating aspects of
country music, folk music, alternative rock and even occasional experiments with dub. They are known for their raucous live shows. These days, The Mekons are often described as a
post-punk,
cowpunk and/or
alt country band.
