Mad Mulligans - Bricks and Batteries

    

  Mad Mulligans (https://www.facebook.com/Mad-Mulligans-100688594871998/) are an old school New York City 4 piece who play a mix of punk and oi and who's members can justifiably be considered genre veterans. Johnny Kray, Albee Damned and Wynn Skism were the complete first line up of the NYC seminal punk band The Krays (https://thekrays.bandcamp.com/). Johnny still fronts the band while he also plays with multiple other groups, including Bastard Clan and Drunken Rampage. Wynn and Albee left the Krays at different intervals...they both are currently in American Eagle as bassist and guitars...AE is a classic NYC oi band formed in the late 80s.  Wynn also plays in Skism, while Albee bashes away drums for Model Citizen NYC. Rich O'Brien is the 4th official core member of the Mulligans while he fronts Darkside NYC as vocalist and occasional drummer.  Brian Martin, from classic NYC ska band Mephiskapheles, adds a piano track to Knock One Back to round out as the unofficial 5th Mulligan. More a fluid collection of friends than a band, the other contributing vocals come from Jerry Ex (Dead Crew), Rob Zero (Faction Zero), Model CItizen members, Big Carlos, Anthony Pellegrino and Sid "Da Kid".  Jim Threat from the classic Scottish punk band Threats, adds his vocals in from the UK side of the ocean. Their influences include the likes of Sham 69, Blitz, The Business, Cockney Rejects plus a smattering of classic US 80's hardcore. 

 

  Rotten Bastard Records (https://www.rottenbastardrecords.com/) recently released an album titled Who Are The Mad Mulligans? (from looking at the album cover, to me they look like what would have been the result of The Ant Hill Mob deciding to go into music rather than Wacky Racing!). It's about to get a UK release from new label Dammit Records  https://dammitrecords.bandcamp.com/album/who-are-the-mad-mulligans 

  I'll be playing a different track on this week's Just Some Punk Songs show (it airs later today at 8pm GMT https://www.facebook.com/events/256251512750898/) but the song I'm highlighting here is titled Bricks and Batteries... 

Time to take 'em down woah oh Grab their fucking crown woah oh Drag em through the town woah oh Burn it fucking down woah oh Line em on a wall woah oh They're all gonna fall woah oh We won't take no more oh no They started a war woah oh Bricks n batteries gonna fly tonight Bricks n batteries gonna make it right
