MEAT WAVE
Meat Wave are the masters of—to coin a phrase here—seizure rock. Their last EP kicked off with “Brother,” a frantic jam showcasing the Chicago trio’s brand of scatter-punk. The song’s video was just as disorienting, featuring quick shots of the members donning terrifying oversized masks.
Meat Wave have since moved over to SideOneDummy for the release of their anticipated LP, Delusion Moon, and, if the video for the title track is any indicator, they are still intent of disorienting you to all hell. So push your nose right up to your computer screen, gaze into the pulsating colors, and let Meat Wave give you the seizure you deserve.
THE DIRTY NIL
The Dirty Nil play rock and roll. Loud, distorted, and out of control, they play like it’s a fever they’re trying to sweat out. Reveling in the din of distorted guitars, pounding drums, and desperately howled vocals, the Hamilton Ontario three-piece makes music for turntables and hi-fi’s - music for dive bars and house parties - for beer drinking and joint smoking - for road trips and barbecues - for fighting and yelling and shouting and singing and screaming and howling - for sweating and bleeding - trying and failing and trying again anyways. Gravel-in-your guts, spit-in-your-eye, staggering, bloodthirsty rock and roll. They have two 7"s available that capture the snarl and destructive noise they create. The Dirty Nil play rock and roll - cause they couldn’t do a damn thing else if they tried.
