REVIEWS

"Even weirder are Pink Muscles, whose loud rock cocktail splits the difference between Dead Kennedys and Pig Destroyer, only filtered through the melted circuit-board sound that made Botch so affecting. Better yet, singer/guitarist Marshall McLaughlin manages to shoehorn some human emotion into his spastic, room-clearing sound. When he sings "I wrote this song with my father's guitar," it's a rallying cry for a too-stale punk scene."
- The Stranger


"Pink Muscles create spastic punk-fueled tunes that draw from death-metal skronk and no-wave. Short, punchy songs complemented by the frontman barking like a maniac out of breath."
- Seattle Passive Aggressive"

LATEST REVIEWS

SEI HEXE - "Tight song structure... earthy with tribal rhythms and chanted, almost gothic vocals at times...and from the wreckage create something new and refreshing."

BALSA - "Chaotic dual guitar arrangements over steady bass melodies, post-hardcore style vocals and off the wall drum patterns."

- Profane Existence

SEI HEXE - "It’s dark, aggressive, tribal, and gets under your skin... I have a feeling they probably kill this shit live"

BALSA - "Three songs packed tight with steady drum fills and pulsing bass that keep things rolling"
