mudd•shovel have carved out a sound that’s heavy, honest, and utterly unvarnished. Built on snarling guitar lines, brooding melodies, and lyrics pulled straight from lived experience, their music walks the razor edge between familiar and feral. Influences flash from grunge and post-punk to modern alt-rock, yet what they create together is unmistakably their own.


Formed through a shared appetite for the darker, dirtier side of rock, the trio bring a chemistry that feels volcanic both live and in the studio. Their riffs growl, their rhythms bruise, and their stories linger long after the last note fades.

Little White Hair stands as their first full-length statement, an album that plants their flag deep in the soil of Ireland’s alt-rock underbelly, one riff at a time.
