“REMEMBER THAT BAND MUTHA’S DAY OUT?”

Thursday, October 15th, 2009 at 1:30pm by

That’s the question that reader Nathan Werp asked us this morning via e-mail. And, no, Nathan, I do not remember this band. And based on the video of them that you sent us, I think that’s probably a good thing. Because that’s a terrible name for a band, and I think this is a terrible song. It’s just a rehashed grunge riff with irritatingly nasal vocals. Sorry, bro.

But apparently one of their members went on to be in Rwake. So if this band helped give us Rwake, then all is forgiven.

If anyone wants to defend this group… go nuts. I made it about halfway through the video and gave up.

    Aw, bugger. Oh well, they’ll at least have one fan in me. You are right about the name though. Anal Rape In Prison would of been better for a name.

  • myke

    also the guitarist is in deadbird too

    • stu1

      Deadbird is great.

  • jason

    I don’t remember the band, but I’ve definitely heard this song somewhere…maybe a mid 90′s skate video or Beavis and Butthead or something? Anyone?

    • badluckfistfuck666

      I know it was definitely on an episode of Beavis & Butthead

      • jason

        That’s probably it. It was driving me crazy that I knew I had heard that chorus somewhere, but I couldn’t place it. I definitely didn’t own the album.lol

    Yeah these guys were bad. But Rwake is awesome – I believe it’s the drummer from Rwake that was in this band, though he played guitar here.

  • Hammer_Smashed_Hurtt

    Ya they definately had a song on the Mortal Kombat soundtrack.

    Dont ask me why on earth i know/remember that.

    Fuck me im gonna get made fun of.

    They had a song on the Mortal Kombat Soundtrack, thats all I knew about them.

    I was a huge fan of this band back in the 90s, thought they were pretty awesome for their time and that their cd was really good. You have to take into account when this cd came out and not look at it and compared it to today. I got into Rwake and Deadbird because I was checking out what the members were up to.

  • brian roach

    Yea, they were part of that wave of post Nirvana midwest bands, along with groups like Paw,that got signed to the majors in the early/mid 90s. They were pretty generic.

    I only remember the song from the Mortal Kombat soundtrack… I seem to remember I thought that song was pretty badass, aside from the censoring of ‘fuck’. But that was a long time ago.

    That soundtrack did have some pretty good stuff, though… KMFDM, G//Z/R, Fear Factory, Type O Negative, Bile, Napalm Death, and motherfucking Buckethead.

    They’re not bad, I think…

  • SourDeez

    Am I the only person who thinks that singer kind of sounds like Danzig?

  • The Rev’rend

    You’ve also got to take into account that a few members of the band couldn’t legally vote yet when this was made. I loved this shit when it came out, but of course I was only 12, so what did I know? I still listen to this every once in awhile.

  • Amjad

    I’m pretty good friends with Chuck, who was in this band and is currently in Deadbird and I have a pretty hard time not bringing him a Mutha’s Day Out CD to have him autograph every time I go see Deadbird live.

    rip off of life of agony much?

  • Nick

    I don’t think they ripped off life of agony. One of my favorite bands of all time is life of agony seen them 12 times live and I was a big Muthas Day Out fan and I never really saw the connection. And Paw was another great band.

    • matthius23

      Paw was a fricking GREAT band!!! I remember Muthas Day Out too… weren’t they like, 14 or something??

  • Jim

    I played the crap out of their CD back in the ’90s. My tastes were different then, I wouldn’t like them today, but they did have a knack for writing catchy hooks.

    for some reason, this post made me think of that band screamin’ cheetah wheelies who also had a really terrible name and a mediocre-as-fuck song on the bride of chucky soundtrack and then were never heard from again.

    also for some reason i am compelled to listen to therapy? right now.

    Not the coolest thing ever, but we can only be influenced by what we have heard. when you come from a small town in the south/ mid-west, there are no cool record stores to turn you on to new stuff, and in the early 90s–no internet, certainly no decent radio stations. You have to rely on Wal-Mart for music. If you got lucky, they had a copy of metal edge that week. The fact that these guys got off of there asses and did anything shows what kind of artistry was waiting to blossom. Or it could have been the cough syrup.

  • wardo

    I was a huge fan of this band, too. Their CD “My soul is wet” still sounds pretty cool to my ears.

  • Myko67

    I first heard these guys when our bands crossed paths in Little Rock. I’ve been jamming their disc ever since. It sounds a little dated now but overall it holds up. I think the vocals are great, the riffs catchy, guitars nice and crunchy, and solid hard hittin drums. What else do you need?
