Meat Wave have shared details of their fourth studio album.
The 10-track 'Malign Hex' will arrive on October 14 via Big Scary Monsters, following up 2017's 'The Incessant'. It will feature the previously released cuts Honest Living and Ridiculous Car.
The Chicago punks have also released the single What Would You Like Me to Do, which is anchored by a driving bassline and offers a sharp, choppy sound. Head below to view the accompanying video, directed by singer and guitarist Chris Sutter, who said:
"What Would You Like Me To Do? is the anti-ode to the baby boomer man How can, as a society, we navigate the entitlement? The idea for the video started as an instructional dance routine by Ryan. It quickly morphed into something more freaky and free. The video is years in the making. Directed by myself. We usually try to avoid being in the video. But this time was different. We had a lot of fun doing it."
Meat Wave have tour dates scheduled throughout the fall, when they'll play headline shows alongside gigs supporting Metz, The Bronx and Drug Church.
