What the label says:

'Download, spread the word, avoid at your own peril. Stop whatever you are doing. Your life is about to change. Boston’s garage super group Muck and the Mires are setting the Universe on fire.'  Kim Fowley (producer). Winner of a US national Battle of the Bands organised by Little Steven Van Zandt (E-Street Band, The Sopranos), Muck and the Mires’ latest  release on Dirty Water Records is the 10” vinyl EP, “Doreen”, produced by the legendary Kim Fowley. The Boston group flew to the UK, after a successful second apeparance  
at SXSW in Austin, Texas, to promote the release with gigs including Dirty Water in London supporting veteran Australian group The Stems. After beating more than 10,000 other groups in the epic Battle of the Bands –  organised by the guitarist for Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band (who is also the actor who plays Silvio Dante on “The Sopranos”) – they got to play at Van Zandt’s Underground Garage festival on New York’s Randall’s Island, alongside such names as Iggy & the Stooges, the New York Dolls, the Strokes, Bo Diddley, Nancy Sinatra, the Electric Prunes and British sixties pop-art group, the Creation. A garage band in the classic sixties tradition, Muck & the Mires hold the Beatles in high esteem whilst at the same time having funny stories to tell about seeing the Ramones. Yes, they write catchy tunes with hooks galore (like the Beatles) and play them in a straight-ahead rock’n’roll style (like the Ramones) but the band says that its musical model is Tottenham’s own Dave Clark Five. One American reviewer talking about “I’m Down With That”, their first  
Dirty Water single, said, “In a better world, this would be a hit!”

About the humble 10":

The 10" sits somewhere in between the 7" and 10" (kind of like a wierd cousin). This awkward variant exists for no other reason aside from to be different from it's other family members. It can provide less music than a 12" but more than a 7". It's almost like a budget 12" or a posh 7". Either way it's wierd and it needs sorting out. Maybe it's quirkyness has helped it carry on defying all rules and convention? Importantly though it plays at a multitude of speeds so it is still quintessentially a total bargain (albeit a total freak of a bargain).

'music...... it all sounds the same time to me.'
