Meat Wave

Meat Wave is a formidable force in the post-punk music scene, hailing from Chicago, Illinois. The band formed in 2011 and has consistently delivered raw, unapologetic energy through their gritty, no-holds-barred approach to punk rock. Meat Wave comprises Chris Sutter on vocals and guitar, Joe Gac on bass, and Ryan Wizniak on drums, whose synergy is evident in their tightly wound, explosive soundscapes. The trio takes its name from a notorious headline about a sweltering heatwave affecting livestock.

Over the years, Meat Wave has carved out a distinctive niche within the indie rock community, with their raucous melodies and incisive lyrics that often examine the human condition and society's malaises. Albums such as "Delusion Moon" and "The Incessant," produced by the legendary Steve Albini, have cemented their reputation for crafting compelling, thought-provoking music. Their live performances, like the one captured in "Meat Wave on Audiotree Live," are lauded for their ferocity and raw intensity. More recent offerings, including "Malign Hex," "Volcano Park," and "10k," continue to showcase Meat Wave’s relentless drive to push the boundaries of their sound, confirming their status as one of the most exciting and authentic voices in the modern punk landscape.
