Preview: Meatbodies, Purling Hiss, and Krill @ Great Scott (10/28)

Meatbodies and Purling Hiss are playing Great Scott tomorrow, viagra and if you’re at all motivated by freshly recorded songs and general bragging rights, cialis you’ll probably want to be there.

Meatbodies, Chad Ubovich’s first “front man” project, just released their debut album on October 14th, which has wasted no time stirring the interests of garage-punk fans and innocent Spotify bystanders alike. And if you’ll excuse me dipping into first-person for a moment, I guess I’ll cut the personal chase: It’s the best debut album I’ve heard since quitting middle-school alternative fandom cold turkey. Time-wise, that’s about seven years. Impression-wise, that’s a good first one.

Perhaps the full-length’s strength is well supported by Ubovich’s experience playing guitar for Mikal Cronin and bass in FUZZ. However, the other half of Meatbodies’ solidarity lies in the sound itself, which could only be plagiarized from the feeling of eating a stolen cookie while walking down a sidewalk in a new pair of sneakers. It’s punk, accessible, and all-around enjoyable. If you don’t believe me, blame the analogy and not the band behind it. Psychedelic and harsh, trust me, this self-titled debut is as much of a MUST-listen as Meatbodies is a MUST-see.

For further convincing, Purling Hiss just released their new LP Weirdon via Drag City last Thursday, and it’s guitar-potent tracks are bound to make for a wholesome opening set of head bangs and intricate licks. Like Ubovich, Philadelphian songwriter Mike Polizze is no stranger to live performing but is currently curating his discography with fresh material. And you know you want to hear it before your scene-kid friends do.

Even if you’re just a garden-variety local who appreciates power chords, Krill will be there, playing a set, jamming about dogs, and reminding everyone why “Krill. Krill. Krill forever. Krill. Krill forever and ever” are some of today’s most accurate lyrics.

So there are the incentives. Buy your ticket here, since they probably worked.
