Dig deep...Play loud

mudd•shovel are a three-piece alternative rock band hailing from the heart of Cavan, Ireland. Blending raw guitar-driven energy with haunting melodies and gritty lyricism, they craft a sound that feels both deeply familiar and completely their own. With influences ranging from grunge and post-punk to modern alt-rock, mudd•shovel deliver songs that hit hard and stay with you.

Formed out of a shared obsession with the dirtier side of rock and an instinct for storytelling, mudd•shovel isn’t just a name—it’s a reflection of their sound: heavy, honest, and unapologetically grounded. Whether on stage or in the studio, the trio brings an intensity that punches above their weight.

With their debut single “Over the line” ….mudd•shovel are carving out their space in Ireland’s underground rock scene—one riff at a time..
