My guest today, Tommy Meehan, dislikes the comparisons to the influences of his youth, but it's hard not to hear the tones that built the man. His absurdist venom-spouting new act, Squid Pisser, is nothing I've ever heard before.. and that means something extra extra to me. The man is already a guitar god of the underworld who also just happens to be an incredibly warm human which seriously belies his altered state of a stage personality.
Squid Pisser's new EP, 'Vaporize a Neighbor' and it's big brother, 'Vaporize a Tadpole,' is out on Bandcamp now and requires listening of a most scrutinous level. It's also recommended that you are looking for something a little confounding, a lot distorted, and that which oozes a bit from a two week old wound. It's disgusting, yet somehow, some way... once you pick the scab off, it's perfect.
Welcome to the new world order of Squid Pisser.
