The band comment: “September 2020 brought on new beginnings for MUDSHARK, alongside many strains of COVID. This is an old tune Hagen wrote at the age of 15. It’s very SOAD influenced, 2 minutes long and weirdly structured.
“The lyrics were written together in about 15 minutes in STR▲NGR‘s garden on a wonderfully sunny afternoon. Hagen did some backing vocals on this one too. Enjoy, it’s heavy.
Carrying the spirit of rock ‘n’ roll, MUDSHARK combines grooving guitar riffs with soaring, soulful vocal melodies. Singer-songwriters and multi-instrumentalists, Hagen Brüggemann and A. STR▲NGR have been making and producing music since they were kids. STR▲NGR started professional vocal training at the age of seven, playing guitar from age nine and playing in bands from age 10. As a professional performer, he made multiple West End theatre appearances from the age of 12. Hagen started professional guitar training at the age of four, playing in many different projects from age seven. Hagen is the youngest artist to have ever played Wacken Open Air. It was during this time Hagen started writing songs for what would become MUDSHARK.
The name arose during their experience of Download Festival 2019, nicknamed “Drownload” or infamously “Brownload“. Mud up to your ankles, mud in your tent, the only thing that could have made it worse was if a shark swam up from the deep and pulled you below the surface. The name further stands as a metaphor for MUDSHARK‘s musical mission: cutting through the noise of the music industry. MUDSHARK‘s mission is to deliver fresh and catchy heavy music to a current mainstream audience and younger generation, hitting the sweet spot between rock and metal.
MUDSHARK started as a remote project at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, using the global lockdown to write two EPs and one full-length album. Currently there are three MUDSHARKs ruling the oceans: A. STR▲NGR (vocals), Hagen Brüggemann (guitar) and Sebastian Richards (bass). MUDSHARK are collaborating with various drummers, including Jack Wrench (Arcane Roots, Jamie Lenman, Salem) for studio and Jerry Sadowski (ATAN and many more) for live.
MUDSHARK have recently finished their debut EP ZLV, working with Neil Kennedy (Creeper, Boston Manor) as recording and mixing engineer and Gene ‘Machine’ Freeman (Lamb of God, Clutch, Every Time I Die) as mastering engineer.
