“Not-so-secretly one of Winnipeg’s greatest bands, Mulligrub returned earlier this month with the ascendant “Homebody,” a fluorescent tangle of guitar and voice that finds the trio in the house and in their own heads. “Homebody” first surfaced as a demo on Real Love’s Beach Station Blues IV compilation in 2015, but its 2023 form is a level-up in every sense; the drums patter like rain, the guitars dart like shimmering fish, and Riley Hill’s and Kelly Campbell’s elastic voices snap against one another in sideways harmony. It’s good to have them back.”

“Mulligrub make tender, hooky, emotionally resonant punk rock — music that feels intimate and cuts deep without sacrificing songcraft or lyrical specificity”

“Mulligrub’s songs tends to take place in the breaths between words of a conversation, those millions of thoughts that rush around heads but can’t possibly be enunciated or elucidated. The Winnipeg trio take those moments and slow them down until there’s something to hold onto, something to make sense of in all the confusion.”
