The Minneapolis quartet Sass have announced they have signed to Heavy Meadow Records. Along with the news, the band also announced their debut album titled Chew Toy which will follow up Sass' 2017 EP Wet Paint. The self-titled first single from Chew Toy has garnered national attention since it was premier by The Grey Estates.
"Chew Toy" works perfectly as a flag bearer for the band's off-kilter pop influenced grunge sound. The track grows slowly from an understated intro to a monolith of fuzzed out guitars and biting lyrics. This song feels like it is almost going to burst at the seems. The b-side to "Chew Toy" is the aptly named, and equally tense, "Spoiled by Rotten." Both tracks fit together to spark emotions that are almost exclusively associated with people who are absolute dick heads.
This upcoming release from Sass will be the sixth record put out by Heavy Meadow since their inception. My hope is that Chew Toy's success will bring the national spotlight onto the label and the other acts in their roster, since this single fits perfectly into the sound that Jeremy Warden of Heavy Meadow Records is curating.
You can listen to the single below. There are still a handful of cassettes left, so snatch one up before they are gone.
