Garage Rock from Meat in Space

Meat in Space is a newcomer in the garage rock sphere, using his strictly DIY approach to deliver his sonic vision exactly as he sees it. The project of Bay Area multi-instrumentalist Shawn Stedman, Meat in Space captures the raw spirit of garage rock, channeling it into a singular sonic experience. With complete control over the creative process, he writes, performs, records and produces everything himself, making each release a vivid reflection of his distinct creative output.

Drawing inspiration from the early 90s rock pioneers like Dinosaur Jr., Nirvana and Smashing Pumpkins, as well as garage rock acts such as Jay Reatard and Ty Segall, Meat in Space’s sound is a fusion of punk, shoegaze and experimental rock.

Making his entrance earlier this year with his debut single “Chromium Dioxide,” he now brings us his latest release with his new single titled “Outta My Head,” a raucous garage rock anthem dripping in fiery energy and punk swagger.

Opened by a grainy sound of splashy drums as the crunch of guitar riffs enter, the artist’s vocals glide in, raising the tension for the song erupts with a match strike chorus of driving guitars, pounding drums and the rousing lines of “outta my head” ringing out. Capped by a dark, spacey guitar solo drenched in wah, “Outta My Head” distills the very best of straight-forward grungey rock into a potent 2 minute punch.

It’s an explosive release of energy, delivering an exhilarating moment of unfiltered rock n’ roll music. With a true DIY ethos, the track was recorded in the artist’s bedroom on a Tascam 488 8-track cassette multitrack, with the artist running his vocals through a stack of guitar pedals to add an intense fuzzy aura.

As he continues to roll out his original sound, we can’t wait to see what he’ll deliver next. Modern garage rock is alive and kicking, and it finds itself in the safe hands of thrilling artists like Meat in Space.
