Page "Meat Puppets" Paragraph 4

By the release of 1984's Meat Puppets II, the bandmembers " were so sick of the hardcore thing ," according to Bostrom.

" We were really into pissing off the crowd.

" The band experimented with acid rock and country western sounds.

While the album had been recorded in early 1983, the album's release was delayed for a year by SST.

Meat Puppets II turned the band into one of the leading bands on SST Records, and along with the Violent Femmes, the Gun Club and others, helped establish the genre called " cow punk ".
