Mesh were signed by the Swedish label Memento Materia and an EP, Fragile, was released in 1994.
This was followed by a full album, In This Place Forever, in 1996, and 1997 the band released an extended version of Fragile.
[2] The band grew in popularity in continental Europe, and most notably in Germany, where their singles and albums repeatedly attained chart positions.
Silverthorn stated: "Olaf has a natural talent of tidying up our productions and spending a ridiculous amount of time perfecting them without changing the overall feel and mood".
[9] On 26 August 2011, the band announced via Twitter that Geoff Pinckney "will no longer be playing live with Mesh", as he wished to focus on his other musical project, Tenek.
Mesh have acquired a fan base in Germany and Scandinavia, and have also gained notice in North and South American countries.
Richard Silverthorn has discussed this in several interviews,[14] stating that while he would love some recognition in the UK, the band has been lucky to find a market for what they do elsewhere and that is now what is important to them.
