Grand Rapids, MI-based trio Heaters released their new Mean Green 7″ on April 28 on Beyond Beyond is Beyond Records. Offering listeners a taste of the band’s psych-meets-surf-rock vibe with two fuzzed-out tracks, the 7″ is available digitally & on vinyl, via Beyond Beyond is Beyond’s Bandcamp and iTunes.
To celebrate the release, Heaters have shared a retro-inspired video for “Mean Green,” featuring dance moves and poodle skirts straight out of the ’50s. Proving that it’s “totally possible to hand-jive to garage rock,” check out the “Mean Green” video via Noisey (and you can share it via YouTube.)
