Huevos

Meat Puppets

Nine tracks of sun-bleached blues rock recorded in a single take. Loose, swaggering, and unapologetically dusty desert music with a punk heart.

It's like ZZ Top got lost in the desert with a bunch of punk records and decided to just jam it out in one take.

A sun-drenched, high-energy swagger that masks a deeper, eccentric restlessness.
