No Joke
The Meat Puppets started as a punk rock band and established their own unique style, blending punk with country and psychedelic rock, and featuring Curt Kirkwood's warbling vocals. The Meat Puppets gained significant exposure when the Kirkwood brothers served as guest musicians on Nirvana's MTV Unplugged performance in 1993. NO JOKE is more straight-ahead than previous Meat Puppets releases, but Butthole Surfer Paul Leary's aggressive production brings a hard-hitting punch to their sound.
