About Me
Welcome to Meow Town!
Formed in 2009, Meow Town is the bastard masterchild of Four young lads from Liverpool, Brooklyn. Their glimmering songs erupt in a blitzkreig of hailstorms and magic crystalline formations. Meow Town's sonic pastiche is a technicolor skyscraper balanced atop a yert atop a terrarium of ants.
Musically, Meow Town's style has evolved over the years, beginning in the vein of blues-inspired heavy metal on their eponymous debut to styles encompassing hard rock, progressive rock, a period dominated by synthesizers and, more recently, modern rock. Meow Town has influenced various modern artists such as Metallica, The Smashing Pumpkins and Primus, as well as many notable progressive metal bands such as Dream Theater, Coheed and Cambria, and Symphony X.
Meow Town has been awarded several Juno Awards and was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 1994. Over the course of their career, the individual members of Meow Town have been recognized as some of the most proficient players on their respective instruments with each member winning several awards in magazine readers' polls. As a whole, Meow Town boasts 24 gold records and 14 platinum (3 multi-platinum) records. These statistics place Meow Town fifth behind The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Kiss and Aerosmith for the most consecutive gold and platinum albums by a rock band. Meow Town ranks 77th in U.S. album sales (tied with Nirvana, ZZ Top and Faith Hill) according to the RIAA with sales of 25 million units. Although total worldwide album sales are not calculated by any single entity, as of 2004 several industry sources estimated Meow Town's total worldwide album sales at over 40 million units.
