13 Last Words 04:00 You know what to expect from a Muggs record. Heavy
blues. Psychedelia. Obvious influences. But what sets
The Muggs apart from hoards of other blue-eyed-blues
bands are the more subtle, yet distinct, qualities of
their songs. Theres the natural reverb that Protools
plug-ins can only dream of achieving. Theres the
Fender Rhodes bass, delivering a low-end thats as
heavy as it is smooth. And there are the not-so-obvious
influences. Anybody with WCSX preset on their car
stereo can identify the Zeppelin-y, Beatles-y parts of
the album, but more educated listeners can pick out
nods to Howlin Wolf and Humble Pie

Born Ugly, The Muggs third album, is the bands first
full-length release with new drummer Todd Glass. While
Glass may be a relative newcomer to the balls-out rock
trio, his rolling drum fills and aggressive snare hits
make a snug fit behind Dan Methrics dirty, reverb
laden guitar riffs and Tony DeNardos melodic, locked
in bass lines. The title track, first on the album
comes on like fireworks, with a heavy hitting build-up
that culminates in drawn-out minor chords, wailing
vocals, and perfectly-tweaked feedback. The dynamite
dynamic between Methric and DeNardo is evident in their
harmonically-complementing guitar and bass lines

Next up is Blood Meridian, a brighter, crunchier
track than its predecessor, driven by Methrics frantic
vocals. His dreamy-yet-abrasive voice sounds like a
cross between Brian Connolly and Ozzy Osbourne, spiked
with an all-American sense of cockiness. Home Free
the albums third song, ventures into more mellow
visceral territory, but the boys dont slow down for
long. The next track, Clean Break Blues, picks up
with Methrics otherworldly slide guitar talents

While the thirteen tracks on Born Ugly retain the
classic blues-rock sentiment that makes The Muggs The
Muggs, they also cover more ground than the bands
previous albums. There are more vocal harmonies than
before, more depth in the layers of guitar tracks, more
attention paid in the production. Hats Off to Mr
Beardsley is a stand-out ballad, with spacey riffs
that absolutely mesmerize

The Muggs have one of the most loyal fan bases around
and they remain so because The Muggs, in turn, are
loyal to their fans. This is a band that sticks to its
smoking hot guns. They dont waste time trying to find
themselves. Theyre not exploring their spiritual
side. Theyre not going to alienate any fans with an
experimental album. In sum: they do what they do
