The Pitch previews Muscle Worship homecoming show
The Pitch previews Müscle Wörship’s homecoming show at Replay Lounge:
If you’re looking for a relaxing weeknight show, you should steer clear of the Replay on Thursday. Lawrence rock quintet Muscle Worship is about the furthest thing from chilled out, and these guys wouldn’t have it any other way. The group makes wild, reckless-sounding music and puts on live shows known for their formidable volume. But it’s not meathead stuff; Muscle Worship’s self-titled LP, released this past March, is a complex, varied offering that balances punk influences with an affinity for noise.

Larryville Chronicles previews Müscle Wörship’s homecoming show at Replay Lounge:
And it’s not Christmas in LFK till shit gets LOUD, so catch Muscle Worship at the Replay on Thursday along with American Cream (great name!) and This Is My Condition. We expect they’ll all be playing some holiday favorites, cranked up to 11. And you surely haven’t lived till you’ve heard Craig Comstock’s version of “Silent Night.” (spoiler alert: it ain’t very fucking silent). Muscle Worship is just back from tour, and you may have heard that they’ve joined up with The Temp Agency. You can find all kinds of sweet press on the band via The Temp Agency’s site…Also, how in HELL did we not realize that Müscle Wörship uses not one but two umlauts. As fans of unusually punctuated bands, we can dig it!

DC Rock Live reviews Muscle Worship show
DC Rock Live reviews Müscle Wörship’s show at The Velvet Lounge:
[Müscle Wörship is] a power trio in the manner of Mission of Burma and have a highly similar noisy approach to pop, very ragged, very jagged. I also hear some of the noisy guitar moves Honor Role did live…A really fun set by a very interesting band. I would be happy to hear more any time.

Muscle Worship feature in River Cities Reader
River Cities Reader features Müscle Wörship in advance of their Quad Cities show this Monday. Check out an excerpt:
There’s the lean aggression of punk, the experimental complexity of post-punk, the general heaviness of metal, extensive use of the tremolo bar that sometimes recalls the signature guitar sounds of both My Bloody Valentine and Neil Young, alternative tunings that bring to mind Sonic Youth, a grunge-y emphasis on hooks and distorted melody, and even hints of emo in the vocals.
The magic is that – on Müscle Wörship’s self-titled debut album from earlier this year – those disparate elements have been combined in a way that, against all odds, is nearly monolithic: 32 furious minutes of great and nearly great infectious hard rock. (And just to be clear: The whole record is 32 minutes.) The group’s music has three very different methods of persuasion – forceful enough to grab you by the throat, accessible enough to suck you in, and intricate enough to get lost in.

Grayson Currin of Indy Week on Borrowed Beams of Light’s new album
Grayson Currin of Indy Week weighs in on Borrowed Beams of Light’s new album in advance of their Raleigh show this Friday:
Of the 13 tracks on the excellent second album by Borrrowed Beams of Light, On the Wings of a Bug, only the last song breaks the four-minute mark. That economy stems largely from the dual impulses of frontman Adam Brock: He’s got the power-pop punch to write a tune as infectious and inescapable as the title track and the experimental wonderment to nest little melodies inside ruptured dream machine expanses, too. He keeps these proclivities largely discrete, though, resulting in music that provides immediacy and obscurity in equal, if separate measures.

Kemptation reviews Borrowed Beams of Light album
Kemptation reviews Borrowed Beams of Light’s new album On The Wings Of A Bug, calling Songbird Bouquet “riff heavy, hand clapping, stomping power pop interspersed with quieter moments of lush harmonies and bells” and the title track “a great song to showcase what a talent [songwriter Adam Brock] truly is…The melody is catchy and strong, and the chorus is a real singalong affair.”
