Meagre Martin - In The Room

^{The Berlin indie band Meagre Martin is kicking off the new year with a new single called ‘In The Room’. It's from their upcoming new EP ‘Up To Snuff’ out Feb 14th. They are also playing a big Berlin headline show to celebrate to EP release on March 29 @ Neue Zukunft.}

^{“In The Room” is a slow and heavy song brimming with emotional heft. It tackles the theme of toxic masculinity, encased in a sludgy, bubbling sonic tapestry. It’s a heartfelt letter to little boys who are crushed and molded into society's standards for men. The song brings you into a world, or more poignantly a room where we confront these feelings.}
