Mudhoney / Mugstar
Sonic Attack (Motorheads)

A Norman Records recommendation (28th November 2008)

This record left our Ant feeling happy.

I get the Mudhoney/ Mugstar split 7" on Trensmat from their Sonic Attack Series. The Mudhoney tune 'Urban Guerilla' was recorded for a Peel session and first broadcast back in 2002. It's a no nonsense balls out rocker dripping with testosterone and reminding me of MC5. It's a gargantuan monster that's literally tearing up the office. They sound like they're about to explode such is the intensity. Proper on fire, full on raw as fuck rocker. Mugstar do 'Born To Go' taking no prisoners. Again this is a good old sweaty beer and leather rocker with a cosmic twist. The relentless riff just keeps going and at one point I thought the poor office stereo was going to take off. Bloody great.

What their label says...

Mudhoney go for the jugular with their combustive version of Urban Guerilla. It takes the original's MC5-on-angeldust vibe and cranks the rama-lama into the red. In short Mudhoney make it their own - filthy, distorted, bluesy, hooky, droney, grungy, stumbling, ass-kicking rock and roll. Mugstar take Born to Go and lift-off into a roaring, brittle flight that threatens to never land. The instruments are wielded as weapons of psychic warfare as the Sonic Assassins tear into the track in the most reckless and stupor-fying ways.
