VInyl LP pressing. 2014 debut from this band lead by Chad Ubovich of Fuzz and Mikal Cronin's band. Loud, fast, wild - you've heard this all before but you haven't because the Meatbodies are brand new and they're going to dominate your eyes and ears and give you a bang over like you've never had before. While both of his other bands have kept him busy over the past few years, his mind was always on his own songs. Eventually, in the Red took notice and the Meatbodies were added to their roster. Sequestering himself in master studio magician Eric King Riff Bauer's San Francisco studio/psychedelic sanctuary, Ubovich busted out an album's worth of songs, barely leaving the small Technicolor underground quarters. Once the tracks were done, he sent them up to Chris Woodhouse to give them just the right final touches of perfectly controlled chaos. And perfectly controlled chaos is what this trifecta delivered. The self-titled record is a sonic experience truly evocative of it's creator: Unabashed, unrestrained, beautiful and strange. Riffs for days. It's everything we've come to expect from Chad Ubovich.

Face Melting Awesomeness
Fans of Ty Segall and Thee Oh Sees, especially their harder edged stuff, just buy this now. The main guy behind the band, Chad Ubovich, used to play for Segall and Mikal Cronin and the influences are obvious but the music is at least as good. In my opinion, its better. Probably the best comparison would be Segall's awesome side project, Fuzz. After a spacey intro named "The Archer" this album kicks into full gear and does not let up until the final two songs, which feature more acoustic guitar early on. The whole album is great, there is no filler. If you're into guitar driven psychedelic garage rock, this album is an instant classic. I can't stop listening to "Plank", "Tremmors", "Him", "Wahoo"...man, it's all good. Definitely an album to crank up to eleven.Update: Really like "The Master" the more I listen to it. Definitely one of my favorites. Ubovich was/is the bass player in Fuzz I found out, hence the similarities. Really good album.

Real Meatbodies
A great CD if a little overproduced but if you want to see how this band can really play have a look at their live session on KEXP - raw and unpolished with 4 great songs, some amazing drumming and amusing banter between Troy Nelson of KEXP and the band!
