The Muslims Share New Single And Sign With Epitaph Records

---

North Carolina based punk outfit, The Muslims, have signed with Epitaph Records. The news comes alongside the release of the band’s new single ‘Fuck These Fuckin Fascists’, check it out below.

Taking inspiration from classic punk and afropunk roots, the Durham trio mix hardcore, rock-rap fusion, political satire, & shared experiences as multi-racial Muslims into a powerful and spiritual deliverance.

The band formed back in 2017, following the 2016 US presidential election. Since forming the band have released three albums (‘The Muslims’ [2018], ‘Mayo Supreme’ [2019], ‘Gentrified Chicken’ [2020]) and one EP (‘Inshallah: Tomorrow We Inherit the Earth’ [2020]). The band are formed of an all-queer, black & brown Muslim line-up, who aim to use their music as a vessel to call out racism, the American political landscape, and white supremacy.

“I started writing this song during Donald Trump’s first impeachment trial and finished it during the attempted coup,” vocalist QADR recalls. “What a time to be alive. As a person who fits the description of a so-called ‘Black Identity Extremist,’ I find it funny that our music and message, calling out racist violence, makes people more uncomfortable than actual racist violence. At least we’re cute, tender, and funny af.”

QADR goes on to say “I hope our fans (aka Munks) get some coded message about destroying capitalism and the patriarchy, but only if they play it backwards. I hope this song inspires the next Munk to be themselves: to mosh in the mirror, cuss out racists, steal plant clippings from government buildings, and support their local Co-ops.”
