5/11/2023 0 Comments Dark sheep song![]() There’s no doubt that this track, released more than a year before Black Sheep, brought Austin a significantly large new audience of die-hard fans. ![]() At this moment, the single sits at 3,000,000 streams with his other version featuring Koe Wetzel already passing 1,000,000. “Happier Alone” really needs no introduction. “Creeps” is a great example of how far Austin has come with his melodies and how locked in and gelled together the rest of the band is. The third track, “Creeps,” is produced masterfully (shoutout to Taylor Kimball, the producer for Black Sheep) and that same point can be applied to every other song on here. The songwriting throughout this album goes above and beyond and is both aggressive and profound. “Cave In” is a heavy hitter, but at the same time very deep lyrically. A common theme to remember throughout Black Sheep, which you can already immediately notice in this song, is the powerful harmonies that are mixed immaculately and definitely deliver. The album kicks off with “Dopamine Drop,” which has a thick, heavy opening riff that would make Tony Iommi nod in approval. You can’t help but think this is Austin’s true musical form, and we are absolutely here for it. Sonically, the music can be compared to the likes of the Arctic Monkeys mixed with Ryan Adams with a dash of Black Sabbath. Black Sheep absolutely busted down the door with kick ass rock ‘n’ roll. ![]() Black Sheep dropped on March 19th and you would be a fool to strictly call him a Texas country artist – or a country music artist in general. Once again, Austin takes on another approach. In 2019, however, the next album, Waves, switches up and reveals a soulful and bluesy sound. Austin’s 2014 debut album, Chief of the Sinners, gives listeners the the impressions of an Americana act. One of the most exciting and unique artists coming out of the Texas scene is Austin Meade, a musician who can change music styles at the drop of a hat and completely own it.
