In Episode 219, Curly, Braggy, and Rossy welcome The Mushniks — a gritty, fuzz-driven garage rock trio from Adelaide who don’t take themselves too seriously… but take their music very seriously.

🔊 About the Band

• Adelaide-based garage / punk / fuzz rock trio

• Known for punchy riffs, fuzzy basslines, pop hooks, and chaotic energy

• DIY to the core — self-recorded, self-produced, self-released

• First album: Jump the Shark 

• Viral attention via TikTok, including standout track “Onion Rings”

🎶 Musical Influences & Sound

• Ramones, Beatles, 50s rock’n’roll, punk, pop, Joy Division energy

• Fuzz pop with heart — loud guitars, melodic bass, controlled chaos

• Embraces imperfections, noise, feedback, and “fun frequencies”

• Songs that feel like they might fall apart — and sometimes do (on purpose)

📝 Song Deep Dives

• “Onion Rings” – A chaotic, tongue-in-cheek take on social media, influencers, and modern noise

• “Lost & Found” – Minimalist, emotional, and quietly beautiful; a pop gem with just a few words and massive impact 

• “Valley Girl” – Darker, more introspective; a DIY-motivational anthem about standing on your own feet 

• “Back to the Dead” – Halloween revival built from an old student film and pure DIY creativity

🎸 DIY Ethos & Recording

• Recorded at home using real amps, real fuzz, real noise

• No polish for polish’s sake — hiss, buzz, feedback all welcome

• Mixes clean and fuzz bass channels simultaneously

• Even vinyl pressed without external mastering — and it works

🔥 Live Shows & Scene

• Regulars on the Adelaide circuit (including the Cranker)

• Play with bands of all styles, ages, and genres

• Proudly “don’t sound like anyone else”

• Part of an older but still vital Adelaide underground scene

🔮 What’s Next

• Album two is underway

• More singles (because… algorithms)

• More music videos

• More chaos, fuzz, and fun
