Texan rocker AUSTIN MEADE brings together all his recent singles into one fresh EP, PRETTY LITTLE WAIST. Released via Snakefarm, the EP arrives alongside the brand-new single of the same name.

About "PRETTY LITTLE WAIST", MEADE comments:

"The main guitar riff was a regular sound check jam for a few months straight out of Willie's brain. I was pumped to arrange it into a full song and push the limits on how heavy we could make the track feel. Kile Odell (producer) and Keith Wallen (Breaking Benjamin) helped us push the envelope there. I threw in quite a few lyrics intentionally referencing back to the Abstract Art record. It was intriguing to play with the 'waste of time' and view of a 'pretty little waist' all within the same song. I love to hear the wide range we have been able to cover sonically from my original records up to this point. This is the heaviest headbanger we've released to date."

MEADE will be announcing his Christmas tour during the second week of November. 2025 tour dates will be announced shortly as well!

PRETTY LITTLE WAIST EP Track List:

  • "STONER FANTASY"
  • "BLACKOUT"
  • "PRETTY LITTLE WAIST"
  • "FACE OF THE FREAK SHOW"
  • "INSIGNIFICANT OTHER"
  • "BLACKOUT" FT. DANNY WORSNOP
  • "INSIGNIFICANT OTHER" FT. SAM CANTY AND LANCE VANLEY
Thanks to his metal and classic-rock-loving dad, MEADE got to see bands like JUDAS PRIEST and he worshipped WHITESNAKE. In junior high, he related to the intense emo-rock of PARAMORE and FALL OUT BOY, and the power of songwriters like John Mayer.

Yet, with gratitude to plainspoken but deep heartland songwriters like Tom Petty, and cutting his teeth touring in the Texas and Oklahoma Red Dirt scene, MEADE's music overflows with wide-open soulfulness. He was a drummer for years, even teaching to pay the bills, but MEADE found his true voice when he began playing guitar as a teen in his pastor father's church. Those experiences lend both a gravitas and rebelliousness to MEADE's songs and self.

Now the frontman of his band and slinging guitar licks with expert precision, his music rolled out with two releases in 2014, his first EP Long Ways To Go followed by his first full-length album Chief Of The Sinners. His next EP Heartbreak Coming came in 2016 with a couple of singles to announce his commencement on the Texas Music Chart, followed by his second full-length album Waves in 2019. In 2021, MEADE introduced his third LP Black Sheep including the hit tracks "Happier Alone", "Cave In", "Dopamine Drop" and "Deja Vu". MEADE released his fourth LP Abstract Art Of An Unstable Mind in the Fall of 2022, further showcasing his ability to seamlessly blend genres into a groovy yet piercingly fresh sound of rock 'n' roll.
