1970’s It’s All Meat: The Lost Canadian Self-Titled Psych Classic

EPYSODE 86: It's All Meat by It's All Meat.

Guests: Band members Jed MacKay and Rick McKim.

Additional commentary by Uncle Herff.

This week we spin the self-titled debut from It’s All Meat, a 1970 release that blends heavy psychedelic rock with raw garage energy. Recorded in Canada and largely forgotten until collectors unearthed it decades later, the album is a thunderous one-off statement of early ’70s underground rock.

The fuzzy guitar riffs and pounding rhythms capture a band experimenting at the edge of psychedelic and hard rock. We break down standout tracks, explore the band’s creative approach, and highlight why this cult classic has become so sought after for collectors of rare psych‑garage recordings.

A fleeting but powerful glimpse into a band that burned bright and fast, this one remains a hidden gem of Canadian psychedelic hard rock.

I hope you dig It's All Meat as much as I do.
