The Mutts (UK)

The Mutts were a rock and roll band from Brighton, England.

The band was formed in 2001 featuring Chris Murtagh (vocals), Bryan Shore (guitar), Sam Burgess (bass), and Adam Watson (Drums). Watson was replaced by Jake Sweetman in July 2005.

The sound created by The Mutts was in part derived from the Detroit bands of the late sixties and in part from British rock. The band was mainly a live phenomena. Releases by the band include the 7" Missing My Devil (2003), an eponymous EP, and albums Life in Dirt (2005) and I, Us, We, You, each released by Fat Cat Records.

The band toured with Detroit garage rock artists The Dirtbombs. The band played at the Glastonbury Festival in 2005 and completed one tour of America culminating in a performance at the Texas SXSW Festival before folding in September 2006. [1][2]
