Like the singer/guitarist himself, Austin Meade sings and tells stories that are conflicting but unified. His musical and non-musical influences are as diverse and rich as the small-town Texas soil that cultivated his talent, producing 12 outstanding songs that range from the insinuating multi-layered musicality and storytelling of "Déjà Vu" to the dark alt-pop of "Happier Alone" and onward to the new-age, Sabbath-inspired "Dopamine Drop."
Meade saw bands like Judas Priest live and revered Whitesnake because of his father's love of metal and vintage rock. He connected with the powerful emo rock of Paramore and Fall Out Boy in junior high as well as the songwriting of artists like John Mayer.
Meade's music is brimming with wide-open soulfulness as a result of listening to straightforward but heartfelt musicians like Tom Petty and getting his start performing in the Texas and Oklahoma Red Dirt scene. Meade worked as a drummer for many years and even taught to make ends meet, but when he started playing the guitar as a teenager at his pastor-father's church, he discovered his real calling. Meade's lyrics and ego are given severity and defiance by such events.
He has spent the most of his formative years pursuing his inspiration and making sacrifices. His musical talent is beyond his years, with characters and lyrics serving as windows into the thoughts of a young guy attempting to find himself..
