Self-described "dangerous music" and very much a natural product of Newark and Jersey City. Post-punk American underground apocalyptic dance party Rock and Roll. The Meltdowns are celebrating the release of their new EP. No Authority Direction, or Control was recorded during the Summer and Fall of 2007 at Hypersnakes in Edison, NJ with the precocious Daniel Schlett (tracks 1, 3, 4 and 6 - with an assist by the cantankerous Carson Kopp) and at Temple of Tuneage in Verona, NJ with the venerable Gerry Griffin IV (tracks 2 and 5).

The album’s prevailing theme is of a growing discomfort with civilization today. The Meltdowns invite listeners to consider the ironic relationship between the dubious directives of our leaders and the dead-end hypocrisy of our social and professional lives. At once taunting and empathetic, there is never a dull, self–pitying moment on the album. The songs on No Authority... have the often–touted,
rarely–realized ability to compel listeners to question the future they are being offered. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
