Biography

Tony and Matt Lovato, childhood friends from Chicago, formed the punk band Mest in high school with Jeremiah Rangel and Nick Gigler. After self-releasing their debut album, they caught the attention of Goldfinger's John Feldmann, leading to a record deal and the release of their major-label debut, "Wasting Time," in 2000. The band's subsequent albums featured collaborations with artists like Young MC and Good Charlotte's Benji Madden, before disbanding in 2006 following a final tour.

Despite setbacks like exhaustion and surgery, Mest continued to tour and release music until their breakup in 2006. A brief reunion in later years reignited the band's career, resulting in the release of their album "Not What You Expected" in 2013.

Artist Affinity estimates how strongly an artist's audience overlaps with interest in specific brands, products, and categories.

Higher affinity suggests better partnership fit and higher likelihood that fans will respond positively to branded content or offers. Use it to shortlist natural brand partners and product concepts that feel authentic to the audience. Combine affinity with Connection Strength (ER) and reach to balance fit with impact. Treat affinity as directional—validate with creative tests and small pilots before scaling.

ER = (likes + comments + shares) ÷ audience per post ≥ 3.0% = Very Strong 2.0–2.99% = Strong 1.0–1.99% = Moderate < 1.0% = Low
