MUCK AND THE MIRES - Greetings From Muckingham Palace

DWC1115

Sello: Dirty Water records

LP

It’s always a great day when a new record from Muck And The Mires drops, and this new LP follows on swiftly from their previous EP. Their catchy garage/powerpop rock adds a lift to your step as they jolt out with yet another batch of their honed Hamburg Beatles meets The Ramones blend of rock ‘n’ roll.

They blast out of the gates with the rollicking This Time I Know I’m Right, harmonica flailing over their crunching guitars. As the vocals hit, harmonies propping it up wonderfully, they transport you straight back to The Cavern heyday. Songs like current single I’m Your Man and the cracking #Loneliness (originally released on their Muckus Maximus EP) inject a dose of early MC5 into the mix, while tracks like The Way Before and Good Enough bring a sweetness of The Raspberries’ powerpop into the mix. It’s that blend and straddling of styles that the band harness to full effect throughout the album.
