Fierce 'n' ugly punk / sludge fury from down under-er (Wellington, New Zealand), Neon Bastard debuts with eleven songs born from an unholy amalgamation of genres.
Summoning elements from metal, punk rock and pure noise, Meikhaus is a bludgeoning blitzkrieg of bonkers songwriting and general chaos. Alternating shredder and stoner riffs collide with blast-fueled drums, disgustingly distorted bass and inhuman wails from some external dimension. Neon Bastard commands a crazy ride, but it's one you'll wanna take again and again (post-upchuckery) to catch all the things you missed the last time around. A downright maniacal debut!

"... the album opens up as a sludge-core fury whip [and] I was blown out of my chair and onto my ass from the blast of audio coming out from the speakers. Neon Bastard provides the perfect cross-blend poly-cotton audio fabric of Black Cobra, Fistula, Melvins, Black Market Ministry, Eyehategod, with Discharge, Anti-Cimex, Butthole Surfers sound and feel. Sort of a punk / indie / sludge / doom / stoner / 'louder than an explosion in an airplane hanger sealed airtight with you as the only witness to the blast' type of atmosphere...."
