Peaceful Meadows – Maximum Party – Review

Peaceful Meadows

Maximum Party (Allied)
by Austin Nash

Hey kids, can you say SNFU? Go say it to your mother. Did she slap you? Then you said it right. Peaceful Meadows spits forth a very clean and strong brand of fast punk; snare on the upbeat; neither sound nor pace varying often; eighth notes all the way; a singer with Green Day-ish inflection and remnants of the monotone SNFU style of following the base line; little dynamics concerning character of voice. All songs are fast, a locomotive through an industrial sector at 3 am, a suicide warrior screwing an irreparably damaged plane into the belly of a battleship, your bowling alley girlfriend in a fistfight with your rot stinking hooker mom. Maximum Party will wear the Shoo Goo off your soles, make you drink whiskey from the bottle, make your girlfriend hate you, and make you go see them if they come around. The “bonus track” (#14, cover of “Big Old Jet Airliner” by Steve Miller) just came on and is thick and metal and I just spit my bridge across the room. Do you think anyone noticed?
