Meryl Streek has released a new single, Dogs, featuring The
Chisel’s Cal Graham.
Taken from next month’s Songs For The Deceased record, the Irish
punk says of his latest track: “I spent my childhood telling my grandad ‘Werewolf’ that
he doesn’t like people. Only to grow up being the same as him. Every day my
faith in people diminishes more and more.
“This song was inspired by a dog called Archy who lives at the
top of my road. The dogs greets me with a smile and says hello to me in his own
way every single day. Something that people can't seem to do anymore. Modern
society lacks compassion and integrity and people have lost their manners and
care for others. So this is my way of saying even a random dog on the street is
better than you.
“I also drafted Cal from UK punk outfit The Chisel in on this
one to give me a few words. And some backing vocals by usual collaborator Molly.”
Songs For The Deceased is due out on October 25 via Venn
Records.
