Alt Rockers Meat Bags dissect the fashion industry in Punk-fuelled single 'Doom'!

‘Doom’ by Meat Bags opens with a jagged, infectious riff that immediately grabs the attention of the listener. Both gritty and urgent, it is the kind of riff that lingers throughout, never fully dissipating but rather evolving and supporting the entire song. This riff acts as a sonic anchor, embodying the tension and frustration at the heart of the track.

Lyrically, the track stays true to the Post-Punk genre with an overarching theme on the critiques of consumerist culture and unethical labour. With lines such as "Only wear it once then throw it out" and the repetition of ‘Forced Labour, Fast Fashion’, Meat Bags do not shy away from discussing the negative impacts of overconsumption. This song gives listeners a chance to reconsider their own actions in regards to fast fashion and sustainability.

Overall, ‘Doom’ signifies a huge step forward for the Manchester-based band – taking the rugged elements and politically motivated lyrics found within their previous tracks and elevating them to a whole new level.
