Meat Wave debut new song 'Symmy'

Meat Wave’s second album, Delusion Moon, is out now on SideOneDummy Records. The Chicago trio tour the UK in November 2015.

After opening their autumn UK and European tour at Iceland Airwaves and playing shows with Protomartyr across Europe, Meat Wave have announced ‘Cosmic Zoo’ as the latest single from Delusion Moon. It’s accompanied by a new B-side, ‘Symmy’.

Meat Wave have a truly heavy punk style that delivers addictive raw power chords and TUNES!

‘Cosmic Zoo’ pairs abrasive post-punk with a hook that sticks, recalling bands such as Cloud Nothings, FIDLAR and Japandroids.

‘Symmy’ has the tightly wound urgency of the Wipers, a band Meat Wave covered on their Brother EP earlier in 2015. The trio said of the track:

Symmy was recorded during the Delusion Moon session. It was a really new song so we just kind of went for it. It’s about the Phoenix Lights in the 90s, when a bunch of people saw a really huge UFO above the city and the governor played it off like nothing happened. Look it up!

About Meat Wave

Chicago trio Meat Wave took their name from a headline in The Onion. Chris Sutter (vocals and guitar), Joe Gac (bass) and Ryan Wizniak (drums) formed the band in 2011 and released their self-titled debut album a year later. It brought together the abrasive post-punk of Hot Snakes, the acerbic lyrics of Shellac and the snarl of The Jesus Lizard.

The band followed their debut with the Brother EP on Brace Yourself Records. Their second album, Delusion Moon, was released on 18 September 2015 through SideOneDummy Records.
