Love Songs & Battle Hymns

MUFFALO has regaled listeners with a modern day 'Street Fighting Man' homage, picking up where The Stones left off in 68 and Sabbath did in 76. They bring to the table their own unique interpretation of what a classic album should be, combining great song writing with sonic dynamics and ear wrenching volume. As CobWebb said in their recent live review of their SXSW Showcase: 'The band's amped-up garage rock went straight for a sucker punch and kept at it. I could see these guys pairing up with Meat Puppets for a nice regional run. Raw, earnest, yet not self-important, this is straight up rock and roll. Color me impressed.' Rounding out the ensemble are Brett Netson on guitar (CAUSTIC RESIN/BUILT TO SPILL), Dean Gunderson on bass (CAT BUTT/JACK-O-FIRE) and Gene Trautmann on drums (MIRACLE WORKERS/QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE/EAGLES OF DEATH METAL). In addition to the band's impressive pedigree they attracted the interest of legendary drummer/producer Hunt Sales (Iggy Pop/David Bowie) and guitarist / producer Paul Leary (Butthole Surfers/Sublime) who produced and mixed this record. 'Derek has the gift' says Hunt Sales referring to his songwriting abilities 'Without great songs, what is there? This is a great band whose about to achieve great things and that's why Paul and I decided to get involved'.[cargo]
