Mugger

Mugger has quickly made a name for themselves as a standout in the musically rich city of Austin, Texas. With members from Creepoid, Radioactivity and The Well, they garnered attention for their ability to blend influences in their punk hardcore sound. In 2022, they released their demo cassette, a limited edition of 200 which quickly sold out. Since then they have played with notable acts such as Scowl, End It, Show Me the Body, Circle Jerks and Gel. They recently finished an east Coast tour with Negative Approach, which ended at This is Hardcore. Their first 7”, “Get a Clue” was released in 2024 via Quiet Panic Records. The first pressing of this hand cut lathe sold out so quickly that a second edition was immediately pressed. “Get a Clue” touches on ideas of power, and the inherent imbalance that often accompanies it. This theme runs through the entirety of their catalog, along with their ethos of making room for everybody.
“Mugger is for everyone,” says singer Anna Troxell.
