“they won't be Eau Claire's secret for long” - Absolute Punk


MERIDENE's outstanding new album 'SOMETHING LIKE BLOOD' is now out on  AMBLE DOWN RECORDS and we're also excited to announce a line of October dates in support.   Leading up to today's release, MAGNET has been streaming a song a day from the album which can also be heard in full now on SPINNER.COM .  'Something Like Blood' is Meridene's long-awaited follow up to 2008's 'You're Not Pretty, You're Worse,' and has been earning the Eau Claire four piece loads of early praise.

Next month Meridene will set out on tour showcasing songs from both albums, and likely you'll catch the prolific indie rockers playing a brand new song.  See Meridene performing the unreleased track "Awful Mouth" live HERE and be sure to catch them onstage here:
