The Mudbloods sur iTunes!


Talk about underground music scenes. Sure, you can blabber about how independent bands like The Muslims, Tacks, The Boy Disaster, or Math and Physics Club 'til the cows come home. And Le National à Montréal, Subterranean à Chicago, or Gypsy Tea Room (RIP) à Dallas may be the hot spots for indie music all around the culture in your eyes. But if you aren't haunting about libraries all across the country, or happily dawning wizard robes and singing about canon from the wizarding world, you can't fully grasp what indie is. That's because the wizard rock genre is busying itself about almost completely off the radar, eschewing all forms of mainstream attention, and thriving through self-promotion between recording artists and die-hard wrock fans.

Whether you've heard of wizard rock, are still learning, or are a veteran of the wrock scene, it can easily be suggested that you n never complain about receiving a healthy auditary dose of some music by The Mudbloods in your life. Drawing from the contemporary artists (like The Shins, The Decemberists, Sufjan Stevens), The Mudbloods craft a bouncy, fun, colourful style of Wizard Rock with that quirky Austin, Texas flair that that so many have come to expect.

But heretofore, it's been neigh impossible to knab yourself any of The Mudbloods' albums, just because they're such a homemade operation. Now, though, we are given a saving grace: The Mudbloods have now released both their debut LP Out of the Forbidden Forest and their animalistically conceptual EP Animals That Have Left Me, on iTunes! You can now celebrate all the magical goodness that is The Mudbloods' repertoire. Well... there was A War Amidst Pop Songs, their latest EP... but it seems we'll have to wait a little longer to catch that rarity. Hit up iTunes right away to catch The Mudbloods two albums now.
