Bastards of Fate, Vampires are Real and Palpable. Loud, woozy, strange, carnivalesque, racing from one idea to another, and prone to explosions — all with crooned melodic vocals. Muuy Biien, D.Y.I. An abrasive, churning, hostile splatter of echoey 2-minute punk-rock songs, more spoken/yelled than sung, that’s very well-played for what it is and ends up striking me as lots… Continue reading Bastards of Fate, Tunabunny, and Muuy Biien at Pop Rock Nation

Muuy Biien at Red & Black
You wouldn’t be blamed for assuming a group like Muuy Biien is full of pretentious pricks. Their general persona is built around a now infamous incident of vocalist Joshua Evans blatantly denouncing the band’s recognition for “Best Punk/Hardcore” band at the 2013 Flagpole Athens Music Awards. Its new release’s artwork even features a lifeless, hanging… Continue reading Muuy Biien at Red & Black
Muuy Biien at I Dig This Track
I may be somewhat biased towards Athens, GA and the music scene there- I was born and raised there, went to college there, and my mother has been a part of the scene since the 70s- but I will be damned if Athens isn’t churning out fantastic music consistently. This track comes from punk band… Continue reading Muuy Biien at I Dig This Track
Muuy Biien at Examiner
Not one to conform to the “norm”, the dudes in the Athens’ band Muuy Biien follow the beat of their own drum. Throwing all caution to the wind they refuse to make generic sounding “radio friendly” music that is force fed to the masses. Doling out music that is loud, raw, in your face and at times sounds unfinished… Continue reading Muuy Biien at Examiner

Muuy Biien at Stereo Embers
Put these two elements together: Rabidly exciting young Athens GA band Muuy Biien whose recently released second album D.Y.I. (on HHBTM Records) is either charming critics or terrorizing them (in the very best way, of course) with its mix of off-kilter ambient tracks fronting an all-out, relentless punkiness that sounds like Pink Flag-era Wire had they been unruly… Continue reading Muuy Biien at Stereo Embers
Muuy Biien at Pop Matters
Muuy Biien is a scrappy punk-rock band from Athens, Georgia, but there is nothing slight about their scrappiness. D.Y.I., the band’s new album, may run under a half-hour, but it’s a set brimming with ideas and tensed-up ambition. The lean riffs of “Human Error” hone themselves into impossible sharp edges and angles, while the chorus explodes… Continue reading Muuy Biien at Pop Matters
Muuy Biien at Norman Records
Second album from Athens, Georgia street punks Muuy Biien, with the Raymond Pettibon-esque cover artwork you’d be pretty spot on in thinking that these young lads are doing the whole Black Flag inspired art punk thing It is a little more than that though with a little twist of angular post hardcore in there but with plenty… Continue reading Muuy Biien at Norman Records
Muuy Biien at Creative Loafing
When Muuy Biien‘s frontman Josh Evans shattered his hip and fractured a femur during a skateboard ride gone horribly awry back in April, the Atlanta/Athens-based punk outfit was left in a tight spot. “I came out of my house to ride my skateboard, and 10 seconds after I stepped onto it I was on the ground… Continue reading Muuy Biien at Creative Loafing
