Party Muscles – Jaxon’s Local Shots Artist of the Month
Party Muscles is an indie rock band composed of Colin McCarry, Tyler Pursel, Josh Strange and Joe Grillo. The band was formed by Colin and Tyler after the two struck up a friendship while working at Philadelphia’s Creep Records in Northern Liberties and found a mutual interest in melodic garage guitar bands like The Strokes, The Libertines, Parquet Courts and The Hives as well as a shared affinity for vintage power pop. Party Muscles melds an indie pop sensibility with a lo-fi rock sonic aesthetic.
Does It Even Matter, the band’s first LP released in August, 2019, was self-recorded, mixed, and mastered, allowing for the band to hone their sound. The band’s sophomore record released in March, 2020, Internal Affairs, explores deeper into the evolving sound of the band, filling out tracks and experimenting playfully with synthesizers and effects. The band’s tight, fast and loud live shows are a staple in getting the most out of the band – so come flex, in 2021, with Party Muscles.
