Biography

A San Diego born pop-punk combo that formed in 2006, the Muslims (vocalist Matt Lamkin, bassist Emily Neveu, Matty McLoughlin on guitar, and drummer Gabe Patuzzi) were initially formed when, upon returning home from college, Lamkin and longtime friend McLoughlin began writing songs together. Eventually the band took on their other members -- from such bands as Clock Work Army and Holy Boys -- and began gigging in and around southern California. The band released a debut platter, the Muslims, on 1928 Recordings soon after. In 2007, the band uprooted, and moved to Los Angeles. ~ Chris True, All Music Guide
