The song deals with the fact that the Pentagon has confirmed the existence of aliens in the year 2023. Tom Delonge – the guitarist of Blink-182 – who is known to believe in UFOs (song: Aliens Exist from the album Enema Of The State) and repeatedly publishes UFO sightings including video material on the subject via his company “To The Stars Media”, has responded by making a social media post with the slogan “Tom Was Right”.
But the song itself is not (only?) about aliens: “Since the term “alien” can also be used in a social context (stranger, outsider, …), we with Mudfight interpret the whole thing more like this. We all feel like aliens at times, like outsiders,” says Max, singer of Mudfight.
Mudfight from Gmunden show in an impressive way what can really be achieved with the often overused words “perseverance” and “authenticity” in the scene.
After releasing two EPs, the formation, which has now grown into a quintet, released an exclamation mark of a debut on SBÄM Records with “Time For Revolution” (2022)!
In addition to the professional songwriting and sophisticated arrangements, the debut album also surprises with a fat production that can easily compete with major releases. Not only fans of timeless pop-punk à la Green Day or Blink-182, but also a far more diverse audience could be convinced of the band’s quality with “Time for Revolution”.
The young punks are now also putting on quite a show live:
Numerous concerts at home and abroad ensure an ever-growing fan community and the fact that they have already shared the stage with the likes of The Interrupters, Dropkick Murphys, NOFX, Rancid, Flogging Molly and Turbobier speaks for itself. The omnipresent 90s nostalgia wave, which has taken hold of all areas of life, also plays into Mudfight’s hands. They provide the perfect soundtrack for this revival by skillfully combining important themes and a strong attitude with the lightness and fun of the “pop-punk” genre that grew up in the 1990s.
Because the band is about more than just the music:
“With Mudfight, we are primarily fighting for individuality, freedom and acceptance in society. Whether emos, outsiders or queer people – everyone should feel comfortable in their own skin and be accepted 100% for who they are,” says mouthpiece Max Nine with conviction. A refreshing message in times when the term “punk” has long since degenerated into the mainstream!
In 2024, Mudfight continue on their chosen path undeterred:
A cross-border tour with a certain Thomas Ian Nicholas (Attention dear “American Pie” fans!) is on the agenda, as is a brand new album. Until the release, the waiting time will be sweetened with single releases and at the concerts in May/June and September/October you will already have the opportunity to try out the new material live.
