“Frank Stallone” is the latest single from Florida’s noise-soaked hardcore sludge alchemists MEATWOUND. The track comes by way of the band’s Macho full-length, set for release on May 9th on the newly-launched Threat Collection Records, owned and operated by producer/engineer Ryan Boesch (Whores, Melvins, Helmet, Andrew W.K.).
Comments vocalist Daniel Wallace, “‘Frank Stallone’ originally had a Michelangelo-inspired title but upon completion, felt more like another famous Italian. [Bassist] Marty [Iglesias] built the track over many days, followed by endless hours of level tweaks and bluetooth boombox mix checks. We never took the song to band practice, so the other guys weren’t familiar with it. [Drummer] Dimitri [Stoyanov] finished his tracking in the studio and was about to break down his kit when he heard ‘Frank…’ for the first time, had some ideas he wanted to try, and that’s how we ended up with real drums over the end. Marty recorded all the guitar tracks before coercing Ari [Barros] into adding even more. My first attempt at doing vocals on it was in the studio so I had to work through a few takes before landing one we liked.
“The lyrics,” he continues, “are about stretching your face and doing lies. Does it fit the song? Somewhere between Tetsuo and the roller rink is the reality it lives in. Or spinning on cardboard in the subway next to fresh 4:00am vomit piles and blacked out public pissers. Unexpected bodily responses and the uncertainty of whether this is a good or bad time. ‘Frank Stallone,’ playing his guitar in that lady’s personal space while she works out.”
