Mean Jeans, The
Tight New Dimension
Since forming in 2006, Mean Jeans have become one of the better-known bands of the Pacific Northwest punk scene for their chaotic but relentless attack, raucous live shows, and fierce commitment to the art of partying. With two full-lengths under their belt on Dirtnap Records, and a slew of 7"s; Fat finally landed these party animals for their much anticipated third album. Tight New Dimension furthers the bands absurdist party-punk agenda. The music is tight, Ramones-influenced pop-punk with garage-rock attitude. The song titles are gloriously literal, positing such deep thoughts as "Michael Jackson Was Tight" (about the King Of Pop), "4 Coors Meal" (sure to be the new liquid diet craze) and "Are There Beers In Heaven?" (an existential question everyone will likely face at some point in their lives). When it comes to lyrics, Mean Jeans is happy to keep it simple.
