The Prefab Messiahs are a post-punk band with actual credibility, considering they formed in 1981 amid the peak of DIY basement guerrilla-style attacks on the status-quo of pop. Fast forward three decades later, with a little help from local heroes Burger Records, and this Boston-based four-piece is releasing an album of brand new material, saturated with years of experience as an “art-damaged psych-pop collective” eager to prove their worth. And they’re proving it pretty hard. Their forthcoming album, Psychsploitation Today, drops January 26th via Lolipop and Burger, and today we’re sharing their new animated video for the single “Everything U No.”

“EVERYTHING U NO (Is Wrong)(Again)… The song is pretty self-explanatory… question authority, question your assumptions, question everything… and even then you’re probably going to be mistaken. The more you think you know the less you really know. Case in point: Just look out the window. But if you shout it loud enough maybe you’ll figure something out. Maybe somebody will figure something out. It’s a heavy guitar riff with toy ray gun accompaniment. That’s how we roll in The Prefab Messiahs.” – The Prefab Messiahs

Sounds sick to us. So press play on the video, let yourself be distracted for a moment, and keep your ears on this band. –Maya Eslami
