This is Fresh Meat's second release, following their debut single on the Breathing Problems label.And so here they are, another bad ass band from Allentown,PA oozing it's ugly, venomous, post-hardcore rock and roll spouting from your speakers..at full volume of course.These 3 songs are pretty awesome to say the least.The total re-verb overload they've got going makes this sound like an early 90's Touch and Go, or Reptilian release.It's that good.Sure, there's an almost expected Pissed Jeans and maybe a bit a Damaged era Black Flag vibe, but this is a completely different beast altogether.Lots of styles going on here.
Leather Daddy is for the most part a mid-tempo banger from front to back.It's got some cool treated guitars and squealing feedback-fuckery that push things is a weirder direction at times, which keeps it from being too bland. And the shouted, raspy vocals are spun out with a really catchy delivery.Placement,man...Most bands of this nature have a tendency to display a lot of mindless screaming, which would NOT work for Fresh Meat.I'm hearing a touch of early Drunkdriver here and there, not as pissed, but specifically some of the riffs and time changes do hint.
An impressive 3 songs from these dudes.Not sure what's next for them, but I will be looking out for it.Worth every penny.
