Mesh is a band from Bristol, England whose music could be described as synth pop. Earlier tracks had more of an industrial edge than recent releases.

Mesh was formed in 1992 by Mark Hockings (vocals, keyboards, programming, lyrics) and Richard Silverthorn (keyboards, programming) after the two met at a gig where Silverthorn's band was playing. They were soon joined by Neil Taylor (keyboards, programming), a former band-mate of Silverthorn, and continued as this line up until September 2006.

On September 13th, 2006 Neil Taylor announced that he was leaving the band to pursue other interests, saying "15 years is a long time and for me the time has come to move on and I need to give some headspace to other things in life".[1]. Hockings and Silverthorn have unequivocally stated their desire to continue making music as Mesh.

The band recruited keyboardist Geoff Pinckney to act as a replacement for Taylor during their live performances.

Mesh have created a number of remixes, including a remix of the Apoptygma Berzerk song 'Mourn' for that group's 2006 cover album 'Sonic Diary'.
