Longrunning independent label Robotic Empire has teamed up with the Wellington, New Zealand band NEON BASTARD for the release of their debut album, “Meikhaus”. Comprised of 11 songs in under 22 minutes, “Meikhaus” is a total blitzkrieg of blasting punk rock, stoner riffs and pure noise.
Two preview tracks have been posted (well, hidden) on the band’s hideous myspace page, here:

About as far from “normal” as a band can get, Robotic Empire is thrilled to team up with the weirdos in NEON BASTARD, who embody elements vital to underground music: damn good tunes without taking oneself too seriously.

1. Steven Tyler
2. Lateman
