Meryl Streek

Meryl Streek, an Irish punk artist, presents a live show built around the album 'stories they don't teach you at school', performed at Oslo Hackney in London.

Meryl Streek is an Irish punk act who has been part of the country's punk scene for a long time. The live show at Oslo Hackney draws on tracks from the recently released album 'stories they don't teach you at school', which has brought together a range of guest contributors, among them Steve Ignorant of CRASS, Pete Holidai of The Radiators From Space, Phil Jupitus, Laurent 'Lags'Barnard of Gallows, and the spoken-word artist Frankie McNamara.

The act's earlier album, Songs For The Deceased, was named among Louder's 'Best Punk Albums of the Last Decade'. Their songs address subjects that are often overlooked, and Kerrang! has described the approach as placing those hardships in front of the listener. Far Out Magazine has called the live show one of the most distinctive it has seen in years.

Oslo Hackney, at 1A Amhurst Rd, is a London venue that mainly hosts pop, rock and indie concerts, which suits this rock-oriented programme.
