PULLED APART BY HORSES - MEAT BALLOON
October 23, 2008,
Written by The 405
Momentum has been building steadily over the past few months for PABH and the band have quickly grabbed attention from the likes of Radio 1’s Huw Stephens, Scottish rising-stars Dananananaykroyd and the inquisitive minds of some of Britain’s most recognizable indie labels. Their sometimes angular but mostly aggressive, amp-melting blend of 70s rock riffs and contemporary alt-noise has seen them climb to the top of Leeds’ musical pile and establish themselves as one of the most essential new acts in Britain. They also played this years Leeds & Reading festival after being asked by Radio 1. Meat Balloon is an energetic, infectious, ball-crushing, grungey, filthy jaunt through 4 minutes of steroid induced pleasure. If this doesn’t have you feeling ready to punch someone in the teeth at any minute then it will have you rolling around your room/office/floor screaming ‘AWESOME! RADICAL! TOTALLY BODACIOUS!’ air-guitaring your face off in nothing but your skiddied pants. If you react in any other way then B-side ‘The Lighthouse’ should top off your testosterone sufficiently.
Super-indie Big Scary Monsters, current/previous home to Tubelord, Cats and Cats and Cats, Jeniferever and Get Cape Wear Cape Fly, releases this limited 7” vinyl that is sure to firmly set PABH as one of the brightest hopes for the UK music scene in 2009.
Meat Balloon is released on October 27th by Big Scary Monsters on a limited run of 7” singles with a free CD and comic.

I ask for a round two against the pills! I liked how the pill ladies are on screen during the bridge portion of the song. I guess nothing can stop us music lovers from hearing music. :) [view article]

Thanks for sharing! I really like the use of the tom toms and the harmonics on the guitar. Nice touches. It adds more dimension when appropriate. [view article]
