Dark Meat are an Athens ensemble that can rock, and sway, and clap they hands to the beat in an area large enough for them to do it in. Singer/guitarist Jim McHugh and bassist Ben Clack moved to Athens from North Carolina two years ago and met guitarist Kris (Subversivo), and drummer Forrest (formerly of Carrie Nations) while working together at a restaurant downtown.

VINYL FORMAT. This brand new limited edition 7" will include two songs, as well as a download code for a brand new six song EP. "Dark Meat isn't a punk band, thirsty for the blood of its forebears. It isn't a 'deep fried,' horn-infused hybrid of stadium rock and R&B. It isn't a mad, loud, dirty smokestack with a misty eye for Halo of Flies.
