Edit history

The 'Meme Wars' band name refers to meme culture, which dominates our social and political discourse. The music of the band reflects both a critique and an adoption of Meme culture. The live sets are made up of a non-stop 'feed' of music with each song flowing into the next, many times in an unexpected way and there is a range of song styles and vibes, ranging from rock ballads to jazz/funk fusion and freestyle Hip hop. The lyrics of the songs primarily deal with the emotional vacuum and social pressures that online culture can create and the yearning for real human connection.
