"Cardiff-based psych punk band The Meritones distill white-hot discontent into blistering tracks that pulse with feral intent. A bruising rhythm section tethers them to swampy blues and lysergic sludge, while Billy Hale’s yelps and howls lock horns with molten guitar lines in a feedback-drenched deathmatch. Unmissable stuff FFO: Motörhead, The Stooges, Ty Segall, Protomartyr."
