'The X-Files' Scully Gets a Sludgy Punk Homage by Sharkmuffin

On May 5, the glam garage band Sharkmuffin releases their new album "Tsuki" via Little Dickman Records. The album includes a tribute to "The X-Files" character Dana Scully entitled "Scully is a Sharkmuffin."

Sharkmuffin is Tarra Thiessen and Natalie Kirch, a duo of Brooklynite sirens bred from the waves of the Jersey shore. Influenced by everyone from Nirvana to The Ronettes, Sharkmuffin adds a unique jagged edge onto '60s beach pop meets '90s alt sound, a genre lovingly dubbed "opti-mystic glam-grunge."

With several cross-country tours (including many return trips to SXSW) and no shortage of EPs, Sharkmuffin has been creating a veritable whirlpool of musical chaos. Their 2015 debut LP�"Chartreuse"�is their most vicious lure, featuring 10 tracks that bleed heavily with feminine rage and cheeky sass alike.

Brooklyn DIY duo�Sharkmuffin�is claiming the sci-fi world's premiere skeptic as one of their own in "Scully is a Sharkmuffin." The track makes its debut via The Big Takeover. Explains the band:

"'Scully is a Sharkmuffin' is our ode to 'The X-Files.' It's the only track on 'Tsuki' that is mostly improvised and was recorded live. The lyrics are taken from 'The X-Files' opening theme: 'The truth is out there. I want to believe. The government lies.'"

Sharkmuffin is ready to release their sophomore effort�"Tsuki"�(feat. Kim Deuss on drums) on May 5, touring the country this March with their original line-up of Drew Adler on drums and Chris Nunez on second guitar, and plan to serve up their signature cocktails and ice cream by inventing the first punk rock brunch truck.
