Stiff Meat - Playing Riffs To Get a Fuck - (ind) Reviewed by - Matt Frighetto
After seeing these guys play a few times, The mighty Stiff Meat have a cd demo. This four-track demo cd, absolutely smokes from the moment you press play Thick chunky fuzzed out heavy riffs that test your stereo systems limits. Stiff Meat is probably the best Melbourne band around that I have seen live, and if you ever see them playing in the gig guide get out there and check them out. This cd demo was done over a very short time, like 12 hours I think, but yet it still captures what Stiff Meat are about, These guys are so funny they sing about some funny topics which, I think is cool that they can have fun with music and still create a heavy vibe that not only rocks but sticks in your head!! The musical talent of Stiff Meat is fucking awesome, James Rose is a killer guitar player pumpin’ out some serious fuzzed up and down tuned riffs, and he can play a mean lead break too. Brendan Mc Clusky follows the vibe and works well on rhythm guitar, Matt young sends out the heavy down tuned bass lines roaring and Tim Echols puts the pedal to the floor with some great thumping drum beats. These guys are the shit and hope someone picks these guys up soon so other people out their can experience their sounds. Track listings are: Car Crank Gigolo Boogie Playin’ Riffs To Get a Fuck Down the Well This demo is great and a serious launching pad for them, Labels check these guys out they are the goods, and I think are even better live matty great stuff man....

One of the most entertaining live bands you'll ever see for sure. The songs on the demo are great, I dont feel that the sound engineer/mixer whoever dude who twiddled the knobs etc did the best by the band though. Still, crank it super loud and the riffs shine thru. When Stiff Meat get a full length album done with a respectable sound guy they are going to raise the bar to a new level for all bands doin this sorta stuff in Australia.

I could not agree more! Stiff Meat are my favorite live act so fucking powerful, this demo was only done in 12 hours so a full length with heaps of time will be mind blowing.....

I agree with Onism that the mix on this could have been way better but it's still a very interesting listen. I've only seen these guys live once and they blew me away, as well as being entertaining they are heavy as all fuck, really tight and write killer songs.

Don't have anything to add just wanted to agree with everyone that they are one of the best bands kicking around Melbourne at the moment. Their riffs are technical as fuck and are pulled off so well, I hope they do a better recording sooner rather than later.
