It is heartbreaking that Kim Shattuck, the forthright singer and cocksure songwriter for the Muffs, died at the beginning of October. Renowned for her short, sharp brand of power-pop punk song, yea…
The main Muff leaves behind a rep for sugar-pop riffage, manic tempos, deep hooks and a lyrical éclat pitched between smart snark and adoring devotion. As much a part of the ’80s/’90s California punk scene as Green Day — with tracks equally dynamic and eclectic as those of Billie Joe Armstrong — the Muffs never got all of the acclaim and sales they deserved.
Starting with the mirthful, mid-tempo “That’s for Me,” Shattuck reminds listeners that the most complexly melodic punk songs need not last beyond two minutes to hold several shifts in vocal attitude and attack. The rockist roller-coaster harmony ride of “Pollyanna” also manages to make a deep impact in mere seconds.
“Earth Below Me,” for example, is gruff and under-baked, sonically, when it comes to its grouchy, steady guitar riffs. But it’s no less potent in its “Our Lips Are Sealed” appeal, nor less poignant in the way Shattuck’s high voice drops an octave and promises, quietly: “I’ll be nice to you.” There’s a lullaby lilt to “Late and Sorry” that gives the rude rocker a childish, nyah-nyah vibe.
