Sometimes a band clearly wears the contents of their music library on their figurative sleeves. The dissonant post-punk thrash of the Meow vs. Meow speaks to a college education studying At-the-Drive-In and Q and not U with a few extra courses in emo courtesy of Saves the Day. The eight songs on their second album, Lapses stay true to the energy of those bands. There’s a sense that any stage housing Meow vs. Meow is probably covered in sweat by the end of their set.
