Paradoxically, with their major label debut The Blue Meanies are out to shatter the notion of corporate-funded rock. Described by frontman Billy Spunke as "bizarro punk," THE POST WAVE follows on the heels of indie hits such as FULL THROTTLE and PIGS. Songs like "Lay it Out" and "All the Same" find the Meanies creating rocking tracks, deeply-rooted in the vibe and texture of such '80s new wave acts as Talking Heads, the Gang of Four, and the B-52's.
Produced by Phil Nicolo (Urge Overkill, Cypress Hill), the album incorporates organ, horns, and other new elements into the band's already lavish musical landscape. Some of the other highlights include "Mama Getting High on Chardonnay," "Chemicals," and "She Breathes Fire," where the band is joined by the Go-Go's Jane Wiedlin.
Industry Reviews
...Irresistibly shiny pop hooks that dangle before a circus parade of instrumental antics. If this is post wave, bring it on!
