This week LA garage outfit Meatbodies released their debut record on In the Red and are already grinding on the road for it, playing two shows in town tonight. The band, fronted by Chad Ubovich, who has done time in Mikal Cronin’s live band and plays in the Ty Segall side project Fuzz, takes the west coast garage-rock vibe and makes it heavy as hell by adding seriously thick guitar tones, over-the-top drumming, and what I imagine are pounds of weed. Today’s 12 O’Clock Track comes off of Meatbodies and is called “Tremmors.” It’s a hypnotic rager that relentlessly bashes you over the head—but in the most fun way possible. I can only imagine what a blast these guys are live. Check out the song below.
Meatbodies play a free, all-ages in-store at Permanent at 5 PM today, then open for OBN IIIs at the Empty Bottle later on tonight.
