The trio consists of lead vocalist Harriet "Brooke" McDonnell, bassist and backing vocalist, Anna Melidone and drummer Mary Prince hail from Derby, England. They formed last January, releasing two music singles in the process, which received airplay on Kerrang! and earn " Track of the Week" for BBC Introducing. The five-track release tells the tale of acceptance and rejection within society through 90's alternative rock stylings, emotional vocals, and storied lyrics.
The opener "Devil" is an unsettling tale of an acrimonious relationship that turns sour. Lead vocalist "Brooke" combines sorrow with defiance over long, distorted guitars. Next up is "Liverpool Guy", an anthemic track with thunderous basslines, rapturous guitars, and huge, hook-laden choruses. The lunacy continues with the edgy "Straight Jacket". a track with dark tones, aggressive, distorted guitars and angst-ridden cries take this out of a '90s alt-rock playbook.

The EP takes a step back and turns to more melodic songs for the last two tracks. Firstly, the melancholic "Turn to Dust" is a certainty for the lighters at gigs whereas, the final song "Fake It", enraptures you like a warm jumper in the winter. The lead vocals are evocative and emotive with choral harmonies, thumping drums, and a dynamic guitar edge that will certainly win over even the most hard-hearted of us all.
Overall, Muddibrooke shows that it isn't "Lunacy" to write engaging and vivid music that appeals to your average rock fans.
