mucky pup

mucky pup began as an american hardcore and crossover thrash band formed in bergenfield , new jersey in 1986 , when brothers john -lrb- drums -rrb- and chris -lrb- vocals -rrb- milnes joined up with dan nastasi -lrb- guitar -rrb- and former hades member , scott lepage -lrb- bass -rrb- .
the band went through various incarnations and several musical style changes while gaining minor success in both the usa and europe .
arguably , their breakthrough moment occurred when berke breathed picked their songwriting contest entry for release with a 1987 `` bloom county '' comic strip compilation .
however , their european success , based on strong tours and charting for the 1989 `` a boy in a man 's world '' album , surpassed all recognition achieved in their home country .
since reuniting in 2009 , the band has featured a rotating lineup of former and new members with vocalist chris milnes being the only constant .
