Meg have been together now for five years and during that time they've matured in many ways - a fact that is demonstrated quite clearly with this impressive EP, 'You're The Teacher'.
Meg's rather unique take on what, I suppose, could be described as electro/indie/rock is out there on its own. I don't know of another band that are quite like Meg. Meg take their time, they like to get things just right - perfectionists and innovators, Meg don't always do what you'd expect them to! Another fact quite clealry demonstrated here.
Opening with 'Kelly, You're The Teacher' and instantly Meg grabbed me. What a great track! It'd make a great single release! Immediately I felt and heard the maturity now pouring out. Still quite simplistic but so well proportioned. Meg, I wasn't always hooked by your material but I'm shocked, hooked and reeled in now; superb stuff. And so to 'My Girl Wants To Fuck My Best Friend' - and once again guys, you've come up trumps. Although the track sometimes feels just a little cluttered it works very well. Hey guys, two out of two - let's go for the hat-trick! 'Volatile', and what can I say? Boy, you guys have come of age! This one has a feel a bit like Kraftwerk meets New Order but with balls! A gutsy riff and not too obvious variations make this a bit of an odd one but a great worker. Surely you can't make it four out of four can you? Well, 'Firework In Progress' is like nothing I've ever heard before from Meg. Is there a hint of country in there? Hey, you've done it guys! Four from four - what more can I say?
Meg have a great following and they won't be disappointed with the 'You're The Teacher EP'. All the experimental elements are still there. The simple still meets the diverse. But, I feel that Meg will draw in even more fans with this little beauty. Meg are alive and kicking! Meg are growing and maturing. Meg, I like it!!
