MUSKRATS – SINGLE REVIEW

Muskrats – Stones at Strangers 

Release Date: Out Now

Two important things; Firstly, Bristol outfit Muskrats do not have a ‘the’ in their name and, secondly, they pack quite the punch. The trio’s new single, ‘Stones at Strangers’, has a snarling indie-rock attitude that puts me in mind of early Manics and you can just imagine hearing it chugging out from the corner of a dark club somewhere beyond a sea of bobbing heads. There is a dark energy to this one with elements of grunge and shoegaze creeping in at certain moments but when that lone and lonely acoustic strum draws you in then it’s hard to resist that energy and that darkness. Epic, ranging and wall-of-sound intense stuff so it’s a big thumbs up from me.
