Episode 24: Tommy Meehan (Squid Pisser, GWAR, Cancer Christ)

Tommy Meehan is a man on a mission to follow the DIY-music-making dream.
One of his more recent musical projects Squid Pisser just put out their latest, great, bizarre, head-spinning, glitch-punk-metal album Dreams of Puke (SKiN GRAFT Records).
Tommy joined me to talk about the band, the album and how it was put together - as well as the equally wonderful and bizarre artwork (by artist/ musician Gregory Jacobsen).
We talk about how Tommy ended up joining his childhood heroes GWAR, his record label Sweatband Records, the positives of mask wearing, various other musical projects he's been a part of over the years and plenty more.
For a man penning such delightfully grotesque gems as "Vaporize a Neighbor" and "Gack Action Gods" Tommy comes across as a total sweetheart underneath the scary masks.
Squid Pisser have North American and European live dates coming in 2024. Go check them out!
