The Envoy

by Street Eaters

supported by

ghostori Crunchy fuzz that sounds like an earthquake shaking the building. AND Ursula Leguin references. Favorite track: Take What I Don't Need.

KeepMusiciansOutOfPunk Does Rob Wright know by now that they stole his old bass guitar?

opockets the street eaters create a wave of sonic awesomeness that defies the two piece structure. you MUST see them live. I feel sorry for any band that has to play after these guys (Screaming Females this means you) Favorite track: To The Ice.

len matrix If you really want to become a fan of Street Eaters, go see them perform. So much infectious energy. They were the opening act, yet their performance stuck with me even more than the band I came to see. (And that band, Screaming Females, was awesome too. Street Eaters is beyond awesome, is what I'm trying to say.) I'd follow them anywhere. Favorite track: Left Hand.

MoonKILL Radio Show We at MoonKILL can't get enough Street Eaters. Heavy, fuzzy,grungy, dirty gritty down right in your face music from the bay area.Hard to pick a fav track so just went with opening one for now Favorite track: Syndicate Of Initiative.

The Uncivil Society Anyone who loves the writing of Ursula K. Le Guin is alright in my book! Favorite track: Syndicate Of Initiative.

about

"On The Envoy, the followup to 2014’s Blood::Muscles::Bones, [Street Eaters] conjure entire worlds. March and No thread the underwater yawp of sea lions, the grind of collapsing glaciers, and whistling oscillations of planets through their already noisy soundscape. Feedback whips and howls, while a wildly overdriven bass leads the way deeper into the darkness."
--Flood Magazine

THE ENVOY is a concept album based on famed dystopian, gender revolutionary, anti-authoritarian author Ursula K. Le Guin's books "The Dispossessed" and "Left Hand of Darkness". Cover art by Miriam Klein Stahl (illustrator of "Rad American Women A-Z" and "Rad Women Worldwide").

STREET EATERS are a truewave/punk band from Berkeley+Oakland, CA that has drawn a range of sonic comparisons to bands from Wipers to Masshysteri, Autoclave to Mission of Burma, Huggy Bear to KARP, Sonic Youth’s 'Bad Moon Rising' to the early recordings of Warsaw. After years of relentless international touring on the heels of their well-received album "Blood::Muscles::Bones" (released on Nervous Intent in the U.S./Contraszt in Europe), Megan March and John No (joined as of Fall 2019 by guitarist Joan) returned home to troubled times in their immediate bay area underground punk community/family and the world at large. True to form, the band sought to come to terms with this changed landscape by diving deeply into their own recording studio to create a new record with an expansive new vision with "The Envoy". Directly inspired by Le Guin’s radical speculative fiction and analytical lens on the world around us and beyond it, Street Eaters tackle transformative and transgressive lyrical themes of oppression, resistance, and change explored in the books.

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer
