Mad Mulligans - Who are the Mad Mulligans?

The Mad Mulligans are a relatively new band from New York City. The band released their debut album, “Who are the Mad Mulligans?”, on December 30th, 2020. Members consist of Johnny Kray and Albee Damned (The Krays), Wynn Cicalo (The Krays, Skism, Wrench, American Eagle) along with Rich O’Brien from Darkside NYC. “Who are the Mad Mulligans?” is on two different labels. The one on Rotten Bastard Records is the US version, currently on its third edition. On March 22nd, 2021, a remastered version with a bonus track, “Divided We Fall”, was released on the UK label, Dammit Records. 

The 8 tracks on “Who are the Mad Mulligans?” have a Punk and Oi feel with an 80’s sound. The band likes to mix things up by sharing vocal duties, producing solid performances all around. The more I listen to “Who are the Mad Mulligans?”, the more I like it. The album is full of great choruses and guitars riffs, there isn’t a song I don’t like. If I had to pick a favorite, it would be “Bricks and Batteries”. I catch myself singing along each time, “Time to take 'em down woah oh. Grab their fucking crown woah oh. Drag ‘em through the town woah oh. Burn it fucking down woah oh”. 


This is a great debut and is well worth checking out. If you’re into bands like Sham 69, The Business, and The Cockney Rejects, this one’s for you.
