002. The Mekons "Horror"
LessThanPerfectHier soir à Paris, au #HasardLudique, j'ai assisté à quelque chose d'incroyable (et ce n'était pas un match de foot) : hier soir, j'ai vu #TheMekons sur scène !
Le #punk joyeux de ce groupe est sans doute le meilleur antidote au capitalisme triomphant. Comme le groupe l'a proclamé entre deux titres, Margaret Thatcher est morte mais la vraie bonne nouvelle, c'est qu'elle est toujours morte aujourd'hui !
En revanche, The Mekons, eux, sont bien vivants. Ils sont même plus vivants que jamais !

Andi ChorleyDevils, Rats and Piggies: A Special Message from Godzilla Review by Chris Nickson
"...the Mekons never sat comfortably in the straitjacket of punk..Traces of the old did persist, as on "I'm So Happy," but even there they were tweaked outside the norm. "Intuition" has the first stirrings of what would be their later country direction, while "St. Patrick's Day" even uses brass judiciously. The Mekons were lyrically enigmatic, with an overall sound that veered toward the avant-garde (and echoing early Cure on the deliberately mundane "Chopper Squad"), while becoming more aware of the past (a bizarre rendering of "The Trimdon Grange Explosion"). It's interesting, too, that this was recorded at one of England's leading folk studios. In many ways it helps set the scene for the rest of the Mekons' career -- challenging, sometimes awkward, sometimes funny occasionally amateurish, but always interesting."

Jenkelly“Tales of ambition, colonialism, murder and pillage come wrapped in a bumptious swagger of rock ‘n roll noise—dipping into dub, country, punk, new wave and desolate torch singing to make its point.” I review the Mekons’ latest for AD. https://aquariumdrunkard.com/2025/04/01/mekons-horror/ #music #themekons
