The following review appeared in The Age EG 30/8/02:
Stiff Meat
Introducing Stiff Meat
4.5 out of 5
Melbourne's music scene has long needed a band like Stiff Meat to come along and crank it up a notch. Their debut EP, Introducing Stiff Meat, wears it's stoner-rock influences proudly,the band showing us they're ballsy without being cock-rock (though their lyrics are full of references to male genitalia) and stoner in the Fu Manchu kind of way. There's even a bottled-metal sound reminiscent of The Melvins. What's more, these guys know how to meld a heavy riff with a cheeky lyric and keep metal as relevant as it was to hard-core followers in the early 90's. The single, Your Hole Is My Goal, opens with the sounds of a woman about to orgasm, breaks into a smoky metalfest, but predominantly remains true to the stoner-couch sound. Your Car's a Piece Of Shit and I Wanna Fuck Your Girlfriend is a fast, furious mix of heavy metal that pays tribute to solo guitars and keeps up the foul-mouthed barrage. Produced by Bloodduster's Jason P.C., Introducing...shows it's OK to have sex on the brain and metal on your side.
