Meat Puppets – Out My Way

Biography
Phoenix, United States (1980 – present)
Their early works (the In A Car EP and Meat Puppets LP) were wholeheartedly punk, with vocals so feral in their delivery they were often indecipherable, but ultimately humorous and clever once deciphered. The musicianship was mostly thrash, yet the songs were tinged with a subtle, haunting element like that of a long abandoned ghost town. Their brand of cathartic, explosive hardcore attracted the attention of legendary punk label SST, who released their first record in 1982.
Unsatisfied with the result, the band spent plenty of time in the studio before the release of 1983’s Meat Puppets II. The band’s exciting experimentation with psychedelia, acid rock, and quieter tunes on top of a core western-style thrash sound, gave them their one acknowledged classic album, and propelled the record to legendary status. Meat Puppets II turned Meat Puppets into the one of the leading bands in SST Records league and, along with Violent Femmes, the Gun Club and others, helped establish country punk.

Listening to the new album now. P4k gave it a 5.5 but it's more deserving of a 7. Loving the new album, good to see Meat Puppets still going strong for close to thirty years now.

not only did Meat Puppets II introduce me to country music, it taught me that you don't have to be in a classic rock band to be 'good' at guitar

They always have such great artwork. Much better and more interesting than the boring band photo that is way too common.

They're not really always II-ish, but just about the only band I can think of thats kinda close(besides a blend in spots between the Dead and Neil Young) is Dinosaur Jr.
