The Mekons [Devils, Rats and Piggies: A Special Message From Godzilla]

Album Notes & Community Reviews

Following their relatively straightforward debut, the Leeds outfit pivoted to a significantly darker, more abrasive sound with 'The Mekons [Devils, Rats and Piggies: A Special Message From Godzilla]'. The record embraces noisy experimentation, disjointed synthesizers, and chaotic rhythms, fiercely distancing the group from the accessible punk of their contemporaries. It stands as a challenging, aggressively anti-commercial document of the British post-punk underground.
