UK band Goodbye, released their debut single “Meat” on December 3rd. Recorded at Unwound studios with Morgan Fraser-Jones the track explores jarring feelings of objectification. From lead vocalist Megan Wheeler: “‘Meat”” sort of touches on the idea that some men see women as lustful objects rather than human beings, ogling them as meat. Sometimes you catch a stranger’s eye and they look right through you, as though they are stripping you of everything you are, your personality, skills, talent reduced to just meat. In my experience the majority of women I know have felt this in some form so I kept the lyrics deliberately vague and open to interpretation.”

Forming around the vibrant Brighton DIY scene – the band played their first live show just over a year ago. Since then, the band have appeared at The Great Escape, Mutations, Manchester Psych Fest and Wilderness. Goodbye have also opened for Lambrini Girls, Lime Garden, mary in the junkyard, Bdrmm, and more.

The band will celebrate the releases with an intimate performance at Bella Union record shop, ahead of more live shows in the new year. Goodbye includes Alfie Beer (Guitar), Megan Wheeler (Vocals), Sarah Ryan (Guitar, Vocals, Keys), Jake Smith (Bass).
