///

NYC's Meneguar is a very good guitar-driven band whose singer sort of sounds like the guy from The Hold Steady. There is a positive vibe to this melodic (mostly) punk rock, complete with Superchunk-friendly riffs and Les Savy Fav-friendly angularity. They are a band void of pretension that wants to write really good rock songs. If you liked the indie rock of the 90's, you will like Meneguar. Look for the reissue of their hard-to-find debut I Was Born At Night on Troubleman Unlimted records.

Meneguar started in the winter of 2004. After years of playing together in other projects Christian Deroeck, Jeremy Earl, Justin Wertz and Jarvis Taveniere moved in to a small house in Bushwick and began work on what would eventually become I Was Born at Night. Recorded with their gloves on in an under-heated practice space in 4 hour blocks, the record came out in a limited pressing on May 10th 2005. Since then they've toured extensively, released 2 cassettes on Fuck-it-tapes and recently finished a 7 inch for Troubleman Unlimited (OUT NOW!!!). Nicolas Vernhes (Silver Jews, Fiery Furnaces, Les Savy Fav) remixed the album in the winter of 2005 at his Rare Book Room studio in Greenpoint.

Press:

The long-awaited re-issue of Meneguar's debut (pronounced MAH-NAY-GWAR). One of the catchiest, honest, moving, youthful, energetic, and powerful records the folks at Troubleman ever heard. "Previously known as Sheryl's Magnetic Aura, NY's own Meneguar deftly urge a skipping, stormy rock agenda similar to that of some of the hotter acts to catch the mainstream fire over the past few years...In a spare seven songs, Meneguar, driven with purpose, get in and get out, smearing a canvas of lament and unison. With no shortage of woes or words, singer Jarvis Taveniere barely has time to catch his breath, nor does the rest of the band, whose onslaught of crisscrossing instrumentation envelops you as fully as a bucket of cold water - in the refreshing sense, not the wet, dripping one" - CMJ.

-CMJ

"I haven't been able to pull it out of my car CD player for a week now. It's got that roadtrip vibe written all over it. Powerful tunes with rock energy and sing-along sensibilities; I mean, that is pretty much the definition of a roadtrip album isn't it? Every song will lay its melodies in your head, only to add to that with the next song. There is not one missed step or wasted second on I Was Born At Night. It will easily become one of those CD's that you will have to know where it is at all times. And it will fit perfectly in your disc changer with Vs. the Greatest of All Times, the newest Plastic Constellations record, Crooked Rain Crooked Rain, and Lonesome Crowed West [.]"

Indie Workshop

Like a fucked up conglomeration of Modest Mouse and Q and Not U with a little The Flaming Lips thrown in for artistic sense, the band walks an interesting line that ebbs and flows across the album, moving with an energy that is addictively daunting and dauntingly addictive at the same time.

New Meneguar Song from the upcoming 'Strangers in Our House' LP (Troubleman Unlimited / Release the Bats) has been posted here and here

MUCH ANTICIPATED SECOND ALBUM FROM BROOKLYN'S MENEGUAR! 11 NEW SONGS, STILL MAINTAINING AN ENERGIC AND MELODIC EDGE REMINISCENT OF EARLY 90'S INDIE ROCK ALA ARCHERS OF LOAF / PAVEMENT MIXED UP WITH A "GREETINGS FROM ASBURY PARK" ERA SPRINGSTEEN-LIKE FEELING. LESS SCREAMY AND MORE STRAIGHT POP SOUNDING THAN THE DEBUT "I WAS BORN AT NIGHT" (MAGIC BULLET 2005, RE-RELEASED BY TROUBLEMAN UNLIMITED IN 2006). MEMBERS ARE ALSO ACTIVE IN BANDS LIKE WOODS, SHEPHERDS AND WOODEN WAND & THE VANISHING VOICE. LIMITED EUROPEAN PRESSING WITH EXCLUSIVE ARTWORK THICK FULL COLOUR CARDBOARD COVER, 2-SIDED FULL COLOUR INSERT AND BLACK INNERSLEEVES. 400 ON BLACK VINYL, 100 ON WHITE VINYL.

Hot on the heels of the critically acclaimed debut, "I Was Born At Night", Meneguar are taking their sound to the next level, incorporating more solid song structures and intricate melodies. "The band's sound pits rabid guitars playing off each other with the intensity of a knife fight, always-effective group singing, swaying bass lines, and drums that roll more often than a soccer mom in a Chevy Tahoe...it would fit perfectly at some hipster deejay night, a road trip, a barbecue - it would even make a great soundtrack to wash your car to...This is movie-montage music" - prefixmag.com.
