The Meritones

Billy Hale, loan Humphries, Meggan Lewis and Zach Mills are the four-sided pentagram that is The Meritones, a Cardiff based psych-punk and garage rock band offering the gnarliest of tunes to the hungry
masses.

Emerging in late 2023, they once got called "jangle-pop" and took that personally, and so strived to get as loud and stupid as possible. They "borrow" from the scuzzy tones of Dead Kennedys and Osees and the
groovy slacker rock of bands like Pavement and Built To Spill, dowsing it in a horse-tranquilising amount of fuzz and saturation. The result is a slew of recorded audio offerings have gained airplay on BBC Radio Wales and KEXP as well as a live shows often accompanied with gratuitous perspiration.

The Meritones perform at The Dogs Home, Ruabon House on Friday 27 March. See the full schedule here.
