Mean Creek

"Local Losers is Mean Creek’s most cohesive album. Style-wise they’ve settled into a frenetic jangle—full speed ahead. And at just eight songs, it doesn’t stray too far from the narrative. It’s frustrated, f*cked-up and fun. We’ve all been there—here’s the soundtrack." – Paste Magazine

"Buzzsawing melodic post-punk bruisers Mean Creek nods to its 80s Massachusetts roots with insane catchiness, peppering its noise-drenched yet harmonious pop beast with the influence of Amerindie pioneers like Dinosaur Jr, PIXIES and Buffalo Tom. Guitarist/singer Chris Keene even sports the same haircut as The Jesus & Mary Chain, circa 1985. Like Old Flame Records label-mates Potty Mouth, Mean Creek dazzle with poppy hooks and salvos load, enough to make heads spin. On the recently dropped Local Losers, they pack enough chunks of fist-pumping anthems into 21 minutes that would make ol’ Bob Pollard cry tears in his iced pail of Bud Lite." - Noisey

"Look, it’s not rocket science. You knock out a big, meaty, bouncy riff, and you play it loud. You come up with a simple but elemental chorus. You get two people — a guy and a girl, say — to howl that chorus at each other like the sound of each other’s voices was the only thing keeping them alive. You play all this hard, with purpose, like the music coming out of your throats and your instruments actually matters. And you get in and get out; you don’t let things cross the three-minute mark. Boom: Instant car-radio singalong. Bands have been doing it for years — for decades — and when they can muster the motivation, they can still do it. Hopefully, they can keep doing it like this forever." – Stereogum
