Sounds Like

An Independent Artist from the NY/NJ metro area, The Meathooks are creating a lot of buzz and making new fans at every show. Their sound can be described as rock/jam driven with groove/funk vibes and heavily atmospheric guitars, resulting in music with an overall essence that is both commercially and artistically viable.

The recent full album release No End In Sight was entirely self-produced and recorded by the band, including 11 tracks sure to prove their name with musical hooks that are nothing less than meaty. The Aquarian recently reviewed the album with an overall rating of “Solid” describing their sound as “A potent blend of rock, funk and blues rounded out with ambient guitars and an overall feeling of floatiness, is one that instantly draws you in until you’re hooked!” The album is for sale on iTunes and CDBaby.com—all tracks and video clips of the band can be found on www.themeathooks.com.

The Meathooks are currently seeking record label and management representation.

NOTEWORTHY:
- Over Again, Just a Little and Simplicity, three tracks on the album No End In Sight, have been featured in rotation on the “Homegrown Spotlight” of NJ’s largest rock radio station: WDHA 105.5 FM.

- Featured on the G-Rock Rising Show (106.3 FM) with an acoustic performance and interview.

- Nominated as one of the top 5 New Jersey bands on the Homegrown spotlight on WDHA 105.5 FM.

- Featured on Morristown Music Watch and feature cover story in the Star Ledger’s Morristown Green (MG) print and online publication

- Drivin On Smack featured in Winter X-Games snowboarding video clip on
