TRACK EXCLUSIVE: The Meow Meows - Friends On Benefits
Reggae | Monday 15th June 2015 | Christina
Brighton-based ska-punk nine-piece The Meow Meows have reunited with the prestigious producer and reggae legend Prince Fatty for their new EP Friends On Benefits.
The band has built a reputation as a fantastic live entity, and has captured that energy on the record, which features three cuts full of dancey goodness. Not surprising since the title track and EP emerged as part of a commission by Fuel Theatre for their ‘Music to Move to’ project, which saw ten musical acts team up with choreographers to create works that would inspire the general public to dance.
‘Friends On Benefits’ is a riotous slice of ska, with sharp, tongue-in-cheek wordplay. It perfectly encapsulates the band’s way of addressing all that is “wonderful and disastrous about the world…in a way that is idiotic and joyful”. Have a listen and start moving:
The Friends On Benefits EP is available internationally as a limited edition 7ʺ vinyl and digital download from 13th July.
