SideOneDummy Records has been on a roll the last couple years, having put out some of my favorite records . Their latest release comes in the form of Delusion Moon, a series of surf- and pysch-rock influenced jams from a Chicago trio who just seem to get more and more weird and beautiful every time I hear something by them. What’s most striking about Meat Wave is their high caliber of innovative songwriting, with moments on Delusion Moon more closely resembling something from the brain of the Beach Boys than the Misfits. But, in the end, it’s the band’s aggressive performances and politically-enraged tunes that make this one of the year’s finest punk efforts.
