Meat Wave shared their cover of the Wipers’ ‘Mystery’ earlier this week and it’s so infectious we had to make it Track of the Day today.
‘Mystery’ is one of seven tracks on the band’s forthcoming Brother EP, the debut release on newly-founded Brace Yourself Records. Meat Wave’s take on ‘Mystery’ honours the song’s Portland punk origins while giving it a caffeinated jolt with a cleaner bass sound and insistent drum work.
A sample of three of the other tracks, ‘Brother’, ‘Sham King’, and ‘It’s Not Alright’, can also be heard now via Noisey. The full EP will be available in the UK and US on January 19, 2015.
The band are currently working on a new album to be released in 2015.
