The Meatmen – "We’re the Meatmen & You Suck" (Reissue, LP), Black Vinyl

The Meatmen – We’re the Meatmen & You Suck (Reissue LP)

If you know, you know. We’re the Meatmen & You Suck is pure early ‘80s Midwest hardcore chaos—fast, offensive, and completely unapologetic. Fronted by Tesco Vee, this record doesn’t ease you in—it hits you immediately and stays there.

Originally tied to the Touch & Go scene, this is the kind of record that helped define how reckless and confrontational hardcore could get before things began getting polished. It’s raw, juvenile, and intentionally over the line—but that’s exactly why it still matters. You can hear the DNA of early hardcore before it splintered into a hundred sub-genres.

This reissue keeps it simple and intact—no overthinking it, no cleaning it up. Just a piece of underground history that still sounds as unhinged as it did the first time.

Why this belongs in your collection:
Because this is hardcore before rules—ugly, fast, and exactly how it was meant to be.
