From the moment they started 15 years ago, Mean Jeans has been creating their own slime-punk fantasy world. Study their six previous album covers and you'll find junkyards full of bongs and yo-yos, macaroni galaxies, Jagermeister spaceships, alien saxophonists, and pink slugs in bondage dripping ooze. On their newest full-length album, "Blasted," the goofball trio has clearly been through wild years and seen some shit - on the cover, the three members peer out of toxic waste bins, no longer cartoons of themselves but instead incredulous, country-fried maniacs who are still following a slime-punk dream, and dealing with where it's led them.
