Meatbodies, my favorite scuzzed-out Sabbath-obsessed freaks, just dropped a new single today, the first song to come out since their 2014 self-titled debut. They lost one member of the band, but three stooges later and Chad Ubovich, Patrick Nolan and Kevin Boog are back at it with the “weirdo psych masterpiece” single “Valley Girl.” Check it.
Playful and poppy while maintaining the reverbed, punch-you-in-the-face psych rock we love and hold so dearly, “Valley Girl” is the perfect tease for Meatbodies highly anticipated second album. The single for “Valley Girl” – with “Hibernation” as the flip – drops March 18th via Famous Class, just in time for a Meatbodies’ European tour. —Maya Eslami
