I truly can't say enough about Meat Wave's self titled debut... recorded in 2012 and released on cassette (100 copies) the album is going to get a proper LP pressing (500 copies) on Hawthorne Street Records early this year.
I learned about them by total accident and was completely won over by them when I realized I heard the entire album (9 tracks) within 25 minutes.
I'd describe their sound falling somewhere between "blistering" and "bludgeoning"...
I just read this evening that they're holed up somewhere recording new material and have plans to tour in 2014.
They are by far the artist that I'm most looking forward to seeing live this year and can't wait to her what their new stuff sounds like.
Stand out tracks:
- Keep Smoking (Fucking absolutely love the sound of unintentional snare rattle on the recording)
- 15 Years
- Brother
- No Definition
- Panopticon
