Sharkmuffin are one of the more popular garage punk bands in the Brooklyn music scene, and essential listening for fans of Screaming Females. There’s a certain ’90s feel to the music they make, driven by demanding but never desperate hollers  .“What happened to all the fun stuff? Are you still having fun?” Sundays are all about fun stuff, so dig it.fun stuff New video out by Sharkmuffin, “Fun Stuff” featuring Davey Jones (Lost Boy ?, So So Glos) on 2nd guitar and Sharif Mekawy (Looms, Darkwing) on drums. This video was shot on the Jersey Shore, showing the trio in a panoramic, sweeping view, losing their minds at the beach house. I refuse to stand still listening to this song, it’s fast-paced tempo grabs a hold of me and the thrashing commences. Plus it is fun as hell to scream these lyrics. Sharkmuffin’s current members are Tarra Thiessen (guitar/vox), Natalie Kirch (bass/vox) and Janet LaBelle (drums/vox) Straight out of Brooklyn.  The band is working on their second album slated to drop early 2017…

Garage rock outfit Sharkmuffin may officially hail from Brookyln, their roots started over in nearby Asbury Park, New Jersey. It was there during an inspired jam session in 2012 that guitarist Tarra Theissen and bassist Natalie Kirch realized their musical chemistry and decided to perform together. The next year they’d surge into their career, releasing a self-titled 7-inch and two EPs. After another year of hard work, they’re set to release their debut album, Chartreuse, on August 7th via State Capital/Little Dickman Records.

Thiessen and Kirch have been the group’s two consistent members, with a slew of drummers coming in and out of the band. For Chartreuse, they enlisted former Hole and current Death Valley Girls drummer Patty Schemel. A press release describes Schemel’s contribution as marking “a whole new era in their style of music,” adding, “The noise-punk-meets-psychedelic power pop group has evolved their sound on the new album and the result is a full length filled with ten tracks of commanding hits.”

The 10-track album poses the band as new punks with old school sensibilities. Songs transition feverishly, jumping between distorted romps to skittering anthems. Theissen and Kirch never linger on an idea too long, most clocking in around two-minutes. Tracks like “Tampons Are For Sluts” and “First Date” show just how brash and unapologetic they are. As their name implies, this is a vicious band with plenty of teeth.

“Chartreuse is about Natalie Kirch & my favorite color and explores the theme of secrets that are hidden in plain sight,”
