The Mutts

The Mutts

This stripped down Brighton based 4-piece make an instinctive, glorious noise that surges through you with a snarling energy recalling such revered outfits as The Ramones and MC5. Comprising Chris Murtagh (Vocals), Bryan Shore (Guitar), Sam Burgess (Bass) and Adam Watson (Drums), their music isn’t pretty; their mile-wide swagger is delivered in a primal, stripped down style. Giving the rabid froth to the Mutts' bite however is lead singer Chris Murtagh' s raw vocal and incandescent stage presence. As Chris himself explains; "We live to gig. As far as I¹m concerned, we could tour forever and that¹s it. I just wanna play."

Having already released the well-received ‘Missing My Devil’ 7” on Fat Cat, The Mutts step things up with this self-titled 6 track EP, preceding their debut full-length album due early next year. From the opening salvo of 'Blasted', to the blistering finale of 'Uniform' via the low slung groove of 'Gamma Life' and strutting 'Shark'. "We formed as a reaction to all the shite out there," explains Chris. "The whole rock-and-roll thing was about the hype, and nothing about the music. That¹s where we come in."
A video to accompany this release has also been comissioned. Paul Spencer, photographer and documentary maker has directed a video for Shark which you can preview here
