Credit: Heather Frienkel  Oakland post-punk rockers Street Eaters will release their brand new studio album Opaque this Friday, September 5 via Dirt Cult Records. Earning acclaim spanning Post-Trash, NPR “Into Music”, Glide Magazine, Decibel Magazine MAGNET Magazine, New Noise Magazine, Punknews,org, Tour Stories with Joe Plummer podcast and it is a powerful seven track collection that thrums with both rage and redemption. Since their last album in 2017, not only did they weather a global pandemic along with the rest of us, frontwoman Megan March also had a child. While becoming a mother was, as she puts it, “an incredible joy and opportunity to rewire emotional pathways and deep wounds,” childbirth was both a traumatizing and transformational experience. Ironically born on the Fourth of July, her baby immediately entered a world steeped in bureaucracy, as the hospital was so understaffed that Megan was neglected until the last moment, forced to endure an emergency C-section. New single “No Excuse” clatters in next like a rusty tank — eerily appropriate for these times. “It’s about seeing all of these near-apocalyptic military situations that we keep careening toward over and over and over again,” No says. “The toxic idea of war where you don't even realize that you could blow up the whole world just for these political distractions that result in genocide,” March adds. Listen / Share: “No Excuse” On Opaque co-founders Megan March (drummer/vocalist) and John No (bass/vocals) are joined by guitarist Joan Toledo since 2019, a refugee from transphobic family and government in Florida, former editor of Maximum Rocknroll Magazine and radical union organizer at City Lights Books in San Francisco. The new collection attempts to stitch up the bloody wounds of their past — a meditation on birth and death, excavated trauma, and trying to find steadfast kin in a world that’s becoming more and more splintered and cruel. It is almost like a body in the process of healing: messy, broken, beautiful, and nevertheless alive. “Opaque is a record that gets deep into the stark and beautiful reality of growth and transition from trauma and loss,” says March. “What does it mean to wake up one day and realize you are living the way you have always demanded to live  — yet with all those jagged piles of emotional, physical, and social/political baggage still slicing through the veil?” Still, the album isn’t just confrontational — it’s complicated. A grasping toward identity, understanding, a place in the world in the process of being curated. “It’s a transition into finding peace with the world — a resonant connection with community and chosen family, getting beyond a lot of the pain and hurt,” No says. “We're trying to suture up wounds at this point and create something that’s healthy.” The band have toured extensively with Screaming Females and Jawbreaker among others, and now fans will have more chances to experience their fierce live show with a slew of dates that kicks off later this month!
