Meat Wave - Run You Out

I'll just run you out
Gonna run you out

Surf's up and Chicago's Meat Wave is ready to crash. Ok, that was corny, their music is not. It's smart, tight, diverse rock and roll that's full of killer hooks and unique arrangement. Their latest album The Incessant just dropped and I've been really enjoying it. Reminds me, both in tone and feeling, of The Cribs' early stuff, particularly the awesome Men's Needs, Women's Needs, Whatever which, now that I think about it, I need to get on vinyl. I digress, and you should check this out.

UPCOMING SHOWS

Single Mothers - Half-Lit

Turns out these clouds were hanging on strings
So let's get high and cut them down
And watch them fall on everything
Listen, there's nothing that I can't do
I've tried and I just can't lose

My little brother had mentioned London, Ontario post-hardcore band Single Mothers to me a while back, but I'd forgotten to check them out. Luckily they showed up a couple weeks back on my Spotify Discover Weekly. That playlist is a bit hit or miss, but this time they've got me dead to rights. Single Mothers don't have a large catalog, but it's solid and, from what I can gather from various sources, they get together every once in awhile to rock. They sound like a band I'd like to see live. They're kind of like The Murder City Devils mixed with The Hold Steady. So, yeah. Good, smart, rocking stuff. Let's hope this line from their website is true: "Single Mothers broke up in 2009 and have been playing shows ever since."

RIYL: The Hold Steady, IDLES, The Murder City Devils

She gets confused
Flying over the date-line

Change in an instant
