Sharkmuffin is a Brooklyn-based garage rock trio with Tara Thiessen and Natalie Kirch on guitars and bass, plus a semi-revolving door of drummers including the great Patty Schemel (of Hole) at one point. They can be fairly noisy and explosive, but there is often a strong melodic thread that holds their bursts together. Their recordings are mostly rough and lo-fi and that energy nicely carries over to stage. The grunge elements are there in the guitar riffs and some of the vocal passages, but what seems to drive this band is a the garage sound mixed with some retro rock tones. Whatever the label, they produce great head bopping music with an all out party attitude.
