Hailing from Providence, RI Muffin is a feminist punk band fueled by rage, sarcasm, and zero patience for nonsense. Theirmusic is loud, fast, and aggressively over it - distorted riffs, pounding drums, and lyrics that say what everyone's thinking but isn't supposed to say out loud. Muffin plays punk the way it was meant to be played: confrontational, cathartic, and allergic to respectability.
