The Muggs

The Profile

Detroit power trio known for a hard, classic-rock-inflected sound; lineup includes Danny Methric (guitar), Tony DiNardo (keys) and Matt Rost (drums).

The Muggs are a Detroit-based power trio. The DeBaser review (2007) discusses their 2005 self-titled album, notes heavy riffs, Hammond organ passages, an Axl Rose-like vocal, and mentions member Tony Di Nardo's adapted Fender Rhodes technique due to a paralyzed right arm. The reviewer calls them "the ugliest band in the world" (self-proclaimed) and repeatedly evokes Led Zeppelin as a reference point.
