Glaswegian D.I.Y. punks Breakfast Muff were formed in the city's ever fertile music scene. Given that the trio comprise members of Rapid Tan, Spinning Coin, Joanna Gruesome, and Hairband, it's a scene they know a thing or two about. Eurgh!'s first two singles, "R U A Feminist" and "Baby Boomers," exemplify their experience at fashioning astute and melodically memorable songs matched with an enduring air of chaos, helped in no small part by their penchant for swapping instruments and vocal duties. Despite their anarchic spirit, it's unlikely that Breakfast Muff will ever be misconstrued, given their bracing directness. "R U A Feminist" takes aim at self-satisfied hipster fellas whose proclaimed feminism is nothing more than a cheaply worn style accessory: "You're a feminist until I won't fuck you..."I don't owe you anything." It's a track that's unequivocal in intent and application, driven by calamitous percussion and an impassioned yet playful vocal delivery from Eilidh McMillan, who tears up any confusion in no uncertain terms: "You're not a fucking feminist if you don't act with kindness/If you treat women with violence you're not a fucking feminist." The even more abrasive "Baby Boomers" is equally unforgiving. Pounding drums and heavy riffage serve the rage directed at an older generation's disdain for a younger one: "Sorry we're fucked up, but you made us this way/We have all grown up, you use us as your ashtray/This is all for you, and all you took away/Pick up the gun and I'll shoot you first." Throughout the record, the band draws on a wide range of influences while staying true to the D.I.Y. punk aesthetic, whereby no song breaches the two-and-a-half-minute mark. Frenzied opener "Lunch Money" channels the spirit of X-Ray Spex via choppy rhythms and punchy staccato vocals; the Cal Donnelly-led "Raspberry Pavlova"'s loud/quiet structure evokes Pixies, and the charming "Stinky Goodbyes" revels in a sweet melody sung by Simone Wilson and jangling guitars that recall the C-86-era bands. Despite the array of reference points touched upon, they manage to maintain a uniqueness in their work that's both confrontational and entertaining. Bands like Breakfast Muff are reclaiming punk from its heritage status, and molding it in their own image. The result is anything but ambivalent.
