Mean Creek will release their second album, The Sky (Or The Underground), October 13, on Old Flame Records. Band member Chris Keene says of the release, "We're very proud of the new album. We put 100% of ourselves into it, exhausting ourselves physically, emotionally, and monetarily. We think that desperate sort of struggle shows through in the songs and makes them more powerful, and we hope people will feel the same way."
The album has been compared to The Replacements, Husker Du, The Pixies, and Mission of Burma - that's pretty ballsy. You can see them on tour in the following cities:
Sept 10 - Crash Mansion - NY, NY
Sept 12 - Boston Arts Festival - Boston, MA
Sept 17 - TT The Bears - Boston, MA
Sept 27 - Central Square - Cambridge, MA
Oct 6 - The Space - Portland, ME
Oct 9 - Piano's - NY, NY
Oct 10 - The Paradise - Boston, MA

"Mean Creek commence a sharp blend of country-core"
The Boston Globe
"And with a clutch of splendid, heart-tugging melodies, Mean Creek, a striking foursome from Boston that opened the night, had a touch of the epic."
Boston Phoenix
“a local folksy, roots-leaning rock four-piece named after the award-winning indie film —
meld sartorially as well as musically...”
Improper Bostonian
"One of the top 10 bands you must hear right now!"
The Boston Herald
"A melodic tour de force"
The Boston Globe
Mean Creek's folksy Simon & Garfunkel harmonies anchor a sound that alternates between jangling and overdriven guitars. This could be the best lineup in Boston."
