From Down Under via Poland is exactly how I like my loud, fuck you Rock n Roll. Who doesn’t? Meatbeaters are a whole inappropriate bunch of scoundrels from Adelaide. The fact it’s the serial killer capital of Australia is insignificant. Well, It’s also the place where The Meatbeaters have resided. What do they sound like I hear you ask. Well, Imagine Motorhead digested the punk rock songbook and danced with the devil whilst taking advantage of everything that’s illegal and not good for you and turned it all up to eleven. They might have gone unnoticed for a couple of decades but thanks to this here interweb thing we can all play catch up on these deviants. Their filthy sonic destruction is wrapped up in this wonderful compilation album for your leisurely dedication. They are of course loud, and dirty, and make an ugly beautiful din that has no time for subtlety so absolutely zero fucks given here. If you aren’t sure check out ‘C.O.A.B.’ or ‘Lunch’ and watch those easily offended run for their nearest safe space.
The Meatbeaters’ are heavy as an anvil, relentless as prime Fast Eddie, filthy era Motorhead mixing it up with the eMC5 and the Cosmic Psychos. This is a band who’ve gone under the radar for too long so Heavy Medication have stepped up to write this particular wrong and bring it to the masses for immediate consumption. Get the beers in and get this on the stereo and turn it up. with Eleven originals, some of which are making their first appearance on vinyl here. How cool is ‘Spit Roast’ riffing on that ‘Born To Raise Hell’ attitude whats not to like?
Don’t go too hard when you’re headbanging to ‘Show Us What You Got’ because ‘Big Momma’ follows and you wouldn’t want to not be ready for that thunder express rushes through the speakers. It’s a relentless ride but the quality is immense throughout, just be careful not to do yourself a mischief. Now don’t just take my word for it get involved strap on the bullet belt and wear your denim n leather for protection this is The Meatbeaters baby and they play Rock n Roll! Buy It!
