“It (Meatlocker) is the base for a community where you can be yourself, lean on others for support, enjoy the best of times, and see really talented artists. You never really knew what to expect aside from a tight-knit community of artists that looked out for themselves and others.” Nick “A confusing, shapeshifting temple that I and many others have come to call home. Everyone was just like “yo dog, we got you” and that’s the best feeling in the world.” Garrett (The Banner) “One of my favorite moments was, when my little brother passed away, all my friends (especially the core group at the locker) just holding me up while I was in a complete state of shock and helping me and my poor ass trash family celebrate the life of my bro and help cope with untimely funeral expenses. It became a home to me that was safer than my own home.” Lex Alex (Sunrot) “It really gave me a purpose of putting my energy into something that made me feel so good and even at my lowest points really taught me so much about moving forward through life’s challenges. Don’t just take my personal sentiment as the only conviction towards safeguarding this establishment as many have recently reflected on the imminent closing of this beloved haven: Had it not been for my friends and the music scene that revolved around them, whatever hope of finding peace would’ve been a short-lived attempt at best. At the time, my immediate family had moved well down south while others had also either moved away or moved on to the other side. Confusion, anger, and a complete feeling of loneliness, the need for something real was rather longing. For many, this is our fucking home.Ĭoming home from the military was a difficult time and as cliche, the phrase may be, it was hell coming back to New Jersey at first. No, this is more than just “New Jersey’s CBGB’s” or some hole in the wall.

based environment free from capitalistic gains or egotistical movements. This is more than just another venue or club as it yearns to present itself with a D.I.Y.
For those who have never heard or never been, I’d like to introduce you to what we as patrons of abrasive music have known as the Meatlocker. For the broken trodden, tired, and blue, there is just a place that houses such a person and the concerns towards safeguarding the music, art, and culture of their identity. Regardless if you’re sitting in the pews or hunching over at the bar, there is a need for escape and pray for help.
Both the monk and the drunk are yearning towards an escape, the only difference is within the perspective as that is what separates these two paths of existence. Between a President that lacks decency and a society that harbors a vain self-worth of existence, it’s just how some people make it through the day without wanting to put a fist through a fucking wall. Each breath is taxed and every hour working is towards a debt we never truly accepted. Trying to get by on a system created by corporate elites and their patriarchal living is enough to derail anyone’s motivation for living. It hasn’t been easy for most of our generation. However, that’s something that gets fought over with blood and sweat because nothing good is earned with idle hands nor is it considered less than merit. Still, it’s not to say that we all don’t deserve some bit of fucking happiness or a glimpse of hope on a good future. Yes, some of us sitting in front of this god damn screen may be privileged or fortunate to have whatever life it is that is being lived. From the inherently corrupt exchange of office positions to the plight of war, famine, poverty, and lack of humanity, there has been an ever present level of turmoil. Illness, pain, suffering, death, and loss as a whole have consumed our minds a torment that can draw the very spirit of our true selves. Since the turning of the new year, life has seemed to throw out it’s fair share of problems as failures and setbacks have led to nothing more than mishaps and an overall drawback towards living.
