Chicago’s Meat Wave captured our leather-cuffed hearts with their undistilled urban punk, showcased on January’s EP Brother. They’ve been hitting the studio since then and have a new single, “Erased”, to share. The track is energetic and frantic, gritty and unrelenting–it encapsulates the heart of punk. While you should definitely listen to “Erased”, don’t do what the title says–this is a track to stay.
