Meet Your Death

***Playing genuinely evil rock n’ roll that draws equally from The Scientists and the deep roots of American blues and jazz, MEET YOUR DEATH is the antidote to feeble contemporary hot dog and burger rock and middling pseudo-psyche jams. WALTER DANIELS, who has played harmonica with artists as varied as the Oblivians and Eugene Chadbourne, returns to the imposing frontman role that he perfected with '90s Austin legends JACK O'FIRE. An honest-to-god virtuoso on an instrument rarely heard in rock n’ roll and punk rock today, Daniels is the man who gets the call when somebody needs the national anthem played on a chromatic harmonica before a hockey game, or when James Williamson of the Stooges needs a feedback-squealing blues harp solo in the recording studio. Old enough to be the father of the members of most bands he shares the stage with, Daniels cuts a formidable figure, singing high-and-lonesome or growling with the Beefheartian authority that a millennial could never pull off.
