After Mugison his dutch debut on Reykjavik to Rotterdam in 2005, much has happened. Now 4 years and an equal amount of cd-releases later Mugison he plays bluesy rock ‘n roll like you’ve never heard before, spanning every note on the emotional scale while at the same time being the most honest rock ‘n roll you’ll ever hear. Mugison will take you on a ride, spill his guts in front of everybody, rip his heart out and serve it on a plate to make you angry, happy, sad, horny... all at the same time.

"Swinging like a country-blues Led Zeppelin, armed with a muscular backing band of electric bass, pedal steel guitar and cannon-fire drums."
David Fricke - Rolling Stone

"If you dumped blues, power pop, psych rock and heavy metal into a transmogrifying machine, the machine would rumble mysteriously, then spit out a brightly colored block of a hitherto unimagined polymer known as Mugison."
Brian Howe - Paste Magazine

"... is undeniably original, sometimes hard to listen to, but always interesting. Mugison’s interpretation of rock ’n’ roll lands somewhere between Ryan Adams and the Pixies, with extended instrumental interludes that highlight his singularity as an artist."
Mike Burr - Prefix Magazine
