Meat Shirt Acid Dove 12″
There is a sort of psychedelic sheen to this sunkissed, driving punk, with its chorus-dripping guitars and expansive sound all anchored to a full-charge beat and vocals with capital “C” conviction. This band means it while still having fun, as evidenced on tracks like the brief but outstretching anthem “War Against War,” which features a glut of ideas in under two minutes. There’s an artfulness to this approach to punk, but rather than bogging things down, it’s also a blast to listen to from start to finish. Pretty damn impressive.
