the muslims


the muslims

One band I already regret missing at SXSW this year is San Diego's the Muslims. After listening to the ridiculously infectious set of Modern Lovers-esque jams on their myspace page, I immediately purchased their seven-song 12", which comes complete with a bullethole-ridden sleeve, shot up by a former NYPD cop. Awesome(?). Moving on, here are a couple of tracks from the record; you'll be into these if you're a fan of Modern Lovers (duh), the later Velvet Underground stuff, or even King Khan or the Black Lips:

mp3:
The Muslims :: On My Time
The Muslims :: Bright Side

Download more here and/or here. Grab that holey 12" here.

There's nothing more sad than a band name that tries oh so very hard to be clever, but succeeds only in showing that they're trying oh so very hard to be clever. FAIL.

First anonymous, you sound like an asshole. That said, they do have a dumb name. But the tunes are good, so who cares.

who gives a fuck about a band's name! you are all whiney bitches.

the muslims are doing some shows w. the NIGHT MARCHERS, (ex-hot snakes, rftc) over the next few weeks.

their 12" it is fairly decent and worth buying.
