sorry state reviews:
FRESH MEAT - Killer bad-times punk from Allentown, Pennsylvania on Fashionable Idiots Records. While you can definitely hear the similarities to the whole Pissed Jeans / Clockcleaner school of punk, these guys sound a little different to my ear, almost like some super dark, late 70s UK post-punk... like a nastier Killing Joke or even a really dark and evil-sounding Homosexuals. Another ripper from Fashionable Idiots.

Fresh Meat Sweat Her 7” (Breathing Problem Productions)
Debut single from this new Allentown band certainly fits snugly with other modern noise-rock bands like Drunkdriver and Francis Harold & The Holograms. These guys opt for a Brainbombs-esque menace, as far as the tone is concerned, but the songs rotate through parts in a way that their hardcore punk background would suggest. It’s all pretty serviceable, although I don’t think the lo-fi live recording does their sound justice. The vocals are reverbed out, which only renders them more inaudible; I end up a little more confused than creeped out, which I’d imagine would be the intended effect. B-side “Man Or Woman” is the better of the two, ending on a nicely tape-warped vocal outro. I certainly appreciate that they found it appropriate to warp the actual recording itself, shifting vocalist Ray Gurz’s words as if an exhumed DJ Screw got his hands on the master.
