This is the second album by Athens-based Georgia boys Muuy Biien who have been dealing with the trauma of their singer being badly injured in a skateboard accident. He has apparently been performing live from his wheelchair at recent live dates. This album, however, contains no pleas for sympathy. Far from it, actually, as it wants… Continue reading Muuy Biien at Whisperin and Hollerin

Muuy Biien at Red & Black
When cameras claimed the city on behalf of MTV Other’s web series “This is the Place,” punk outfit Muuy Biien was highlighted as a prime example of current Athenian music alongside local darlings Reptar and groups like Tunabunny and Manray. Since then, the band has shaken up local press for being kicked out of the… Continue reading Muuy Biien at Red & Black

Bastards of Fate, Tunabunny, and Muuy Biien at Pop Rock Nation
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.
