MUDFIGHT – Drug Shack

MUDFIGHT release their new single “Drug Shack” tomorrow, 24th May!

Mudfight are a punk rock band from Gmunden, Austria that show in an impressive way, what can really be achieved with the often overused words “perseverance” and “authenticity” in the scene.

When you think of MUDFIGHT, you think of a new generation of pop-punks in the style of Green Day, especially the Shenanigans era back in 2002. Their debut album “Start A Revolution” has already been a huge success for the band, and it’s a great album to put on and enjoy with your fellow muso after a few drinks.

“Drug Shack” is the new single, which will be released on May 24. A hymn to all those who are tired of bending over backwards for everyone. We often lose ourselves when we want to help others. Drug Shack is a song that stands for self-care and self-awareness.

After releasing two EPs, MUDFIGHT, which has now grown into a quintet, released an incredible debut album on SBÄM Records with “Time For Revolution” (2022)!

The young band are now also putting on quite a show live:

With numerous concerts at home and abroad under their belt, sharing the stage with bands like The Interrupters, Dropkick Murphys, NOFX, Rancid, Flogging Molly and Turbobier they’re ensuring an ever-growing fan community. There’s a nineties nostalgia wave currently hitting the scene The omnipresent 90s nostalgia wave, which plays perfectly into MUDFIGHT’s hands. They provide the perfect soundtrack for this revival by skillfully combining important themes and a strong attitude with the lightness and fun of the “pop-punk” genre that grew up in the 1990s.

Because the band is about more than just the music:

“With Mudfight, we are primarily fighting for individuality, freedom and acceptance in society. Whether emos, outsiders or queer people – everyone should feel comfortable in their own skin and be accepted 100% for who they are,” says vocalist, Max Nine.

A refreshing message in times when the term “punk” has long since degenerated into the mainstream!

In 2024, MUDFIGHT continue to hit the scene with force, dropping new music and getting on the bill of some well known artists, including Thomas Nicholas (Attention “American Pie” fans!) joining him on his current tour.

A new album is also on the cards for MUDFIGHT, but don’t worry, the waiting time will be sweetened with single releases and concerts through May to October, and will be treating the audiences to their new material live.

Listen to MUDFIGHT’s new track ‘Drug Shack’ on all music streaming platforms from tomorrow, Friday 24th May.
