Reviews :
Despite churning out memorable indie-rock tunes, Ipoh's Muck have always been under-rated and often neglected.
Muck first caught the attention of local music enthusiasts when their second demo, Blastosit, in 1996 received glowing reviews especially after it made the pages of Blasting Concept.
Inspired by lo-fi and indie rock bands like Dinosaur Jr, Modest Mouse,
Pavement, Sonic Youth and Sebadoh, Muck music is not like that of most local bands. It has that, er, distinctive ..Ipoh sound'.
The band has appeared in various compilations like The Underworld Chronicles, BARA, Breaking Ground and most importantly Perak's pivotal Kopi Sechewen compilation series - which was coincidentally spearheaded by Bodysurf Music, a label run by Myo and Ducktoi.
After laying low for quite a while, the band took everyone by surprise when they released a split album with another lo-fi band from the UK, Things in Herd.
More mature and refined, the split CD saw Muck at their creative peak and it could be rated as one of the best local releases ever.
