If you are familiar with this blog you may have had a glimpse of the punk-noise of Ghost Of The Avalanche, a duo from Bath, UK, in Rien à Faire #7 (if not it's not too late to catch up!).
Well it happens that Nick Tone, the man behind the bass and the mic in GOTA, is also playing/singing in (after being a solo project) the punk rock trio Meadow Burials, and that's what I am going to write about today.

As any good book it starts with a Preface, a preface before the real deal ok but I would also describe the band first tape (in 2019 on DIE DAS DER) as an Exercice de style (Exercise in Style).
All by himself Nick is having fun trying to catch the core of a few styles of punk rock, delivering 5 short songs full of references and love for rock'n roll.
Addiction got a strong early Hives vibe, Let The Right One In is a love letter to the melodic garagish punk side and I immediately thought "I know a band which sounds exactly like that" but no name has reached my brain yet; in the lot I hear some Misfits, some Pisse without synth, and maybe even some early Black Flag...
In a nutshell it's a nice start but it lacks a bit of personnality to really trigger my attention.

Almost one year later Nick is back with two mates and a 7" on DIE DAS DER.
The Modern Age was recorded "with a ‘real’ band in a ‘real’ studio" this time and delivers 3 tracks in 2 and half minutes, these guys don't waste any time!
A lot more punk hardcore than Preface, Meadow Burials keeps the fuzztone guitar sound and low-fi-but-not-too-much vibe of the 2019 tape but with a more urgent feeling... things are not going well, time is running out, the modern age is a disaster, there is no time for compromise, the trio from Bath is in a hurry.
With the speed and maestro of Circle Jerks, Off! or early Black Flag, the band doesn't neglect the melodic side of hardcore and delivers a really enjoyable but way too short 7".
N,J'Oi!
You can listen to Meadow Burials and a lot of other great punk rock tunes on Rien à Faire #11.
