Wow. What an amazing band. Meet Me In St. Louis (yes named after that 1940's musical) are something different. Not sure how to describe these, but I'll go with Math-Rock. They throw the song structure rule book out the window and make everything from scratch. Shame they had to disband early this year due to their singer and drummer leaving, two things that aren't easy to replace. Their first release, the amazingly titled 'And With The Right Kind Of Eyes You Can Almost See The High Water Mark, That Place Where The Wave Finally Broke And Rolled Back', is an absolutely furious debut, taking you both low and high, and then repeatably slamming you face first back down again. 'Variations On Swing', their only full length, carries this on at an even better level. I found out about these guys from their old label mate, Frank Turner.
