Blending the fiery fury of early-‘80s hardcore with the trained restraint of Krautrock and post-punk, Athens five-piece Muuy Biien has quickly and decisively plowed its way to the top of Athens’ music scene. The young band has earned high marks from local and national press for its two impressive full-lengths, 2012’s scrappy This Is What… Continue reading Muuy Biien at Tidal HiFi

Muuy Biien and Eureka California at Flagpole
2014 was the year Eureka California made the shift from “the band that could” to “the band that did.” With little fanfare and almost zero downtown club presence, the group quietly released a true kicker of an LP, toured the UK and steadily increased its stateside audience without jockeying for the ever-shifting hometown spotlight. The… Continue reading Muuy Biien and Eureka California at Flagpole
Muuy Biien at Online Athens
I’m a snob about punk music, a genre which I place into a finite definition. For many, merely having fast guitars and snide lyrics is enough to rise to the punk label — allowing bands such as Blink 182 to be considered punk when nothing could be further from the truth. No, punk music is… Continue reading Muuy Biien at Online Athens
Muuy Biien at Hissing Lawns
“Ya’ll mind if I take a piss in the back restroom right here while ya do this here interview?“ I heard in the distance from where I sat with three of the five that make up the noise-punk band Muuy Biien. “That’s perfectly fine,” I shouted back, not wanting to throw off the zen this drunken show-goer… Continue reading Muuy Biien at Hissing Lawns
Muuy Biien at Shiny Grey Monotone
Somewhere along the line, Muuy Biien traded in their Black Flag records for Wire records, and consequently their sound has more of a post punk jitter to it than the slashing hardcore aggression of the older records. It actually harkens back to the San Diego bands circa 1998 or so, after thespazzy grindcore noise had been superseded by arty, asymmetrical… Continue reading Muuy Biien at Shiny Grey Monotone
Muuy Biien at Razorcake
If you can weather the ambient intros on both sides of the record then you’re in for some spastic dance punk with noisy guitar accidentals, chunky bass lines, and bestial howls galore. This is a difficult sound to leash, but Muuy Biien has lassoed it like a wild animal tamer. You can almost taste the… Continue reading Muuy Biien at Razorcake
Muuy Biien at In Transit Records
Among many fairly interchangeable indie rock/garage bands in Athens, Georgia, Muuy Biien stands alone and bares their teeth at an otherwise complacent scene. From solo noise project to punk band, Muuy Biien has found the right amount of rope to hang themselves exactly the way they want to with their latest album, D.Y.I (Do Yourself… Continue reading Muuy Biien at In Transit Records
Muuy Biien at agoodthingeachday
In-yer-face punk rock from Muuy Biien is the order of the day today. Today’s #onegoodthing is their album D.Y.I., which came out earlier this year and is a blistering collection of raw, hard-edged songs that are broken up by a trio of tracks –Cyclothymia I, II and III – that hint at something more prosaic behind the rip-roaring likes of Melters and Virus Evolves.… Continue reading Muuy Biien at agoodthingeachday
