Muse Chronicle

Moose Wrench, a band from Leeds, UK, initially formed in Las Vegas, made Mr. Bungle as an inspiration. The connection couldn’t be more fitting, as both bands showcase a captivating blend of genres, always experimenting while highlighting an irresistible hooky energy.

“Not Dead Yet captures the essence of musical defiance via its genre-bending journey.”

From the first chord to the last note, “Not Dead Yet” by Moose Wrench is an unusual hard rock roller coaster. This album is a showcase for innovative thinking; it only contains six tracks and clocks in at a tight thirty minutes. What really sets “Not Dead Yet” apart, however, is the way it incorporates these elements while being fiercely unique and futuristic. All three of the album’s singles are energetic introductions, and they represent different parts of the Moose Wrench story. The band’s skill and variety are on full display in songs like “Dingleberry Fyn” with its wild energy and “Directionless Twat” with its gritty chords. Examples of this kind of seamless blending of hard rock, experimental, and progressive elements include the title track and the closing song “Not My Name” (which is, by the way, a fantastic cover). The ultimate effect is an adventure that pushes the listener to let go and be swept away by the unknown. The tunes flow into one another without any noticeable breaks, making for a cohesive experience that keeps the audience’s attention throughout.

With “Not Dead Yet,” Moose Wrench has done more than just released an album; they have staged a musical revolution via genre bending. Catch the muse down here:
