MERYL STREEK REVEALS DETAILS ON NEW ALBUM AND NEW SINGLE ‘PADDY

Posted on by Oran


Fast rising and exciting punk producer performer MERYL STREEK has announced his brand new album ‘Songs For The Deceased’.

Produced by Dan Doherty (Fontaines D.C.) the album is set for release on October 25th through Venn Records (a label that has picked up talent early and released the likes of Marmozets, Bob Vylan, Wargasm and High Vis).

MERYL STREEK have also today released a brand new single ‘Paddy‘, watch the video for ‘Paddy‘ below:

A November UK headline tour has also been announced today (tickets on sale Friday 5th July), all dates listed below. This tour follows a forthcoming appearance at this years 2000trees Festival in July, as well as previously playing in Dublin with The Dead Kennedys, touring Ireland with Bob Vylan, and then Enter Shikari, touring the UK with PiL, playing shows with Benefits, and touring the UK with Kneecap.

Born and raised in Dublin, MERYL STREEK remembers his childhood in Ireland fondly. “Growing up it was great,” he says. “I had a lot of family around me and things were good, we were a working class family of independent screen printers.” During the leaner and more difficult years that followed, he grew up and the world changed around him. He lost several family members, and austerity closed in on the country.

As the recession hit and work became steadily thinner on the ground, he moved to Canada—a 7 year experience that shaped MERYL STREEK both as a person and as an artist, as he explains, “Seeing how countries work outside of Ireland, and seeing how unfair Ireland’s work ethic and living situations are, I came back here fuelled to try and make a change.”
