There are at least two Mutants:

1) An instrumental rock band from Finland
2) Punk Rock band from Detroit, Michigan ('77-'83)
For the 'art-punk' band from San Francisco ('77-'81) see Mutants

1) Finland’s finest, freaky instrumental rock quintet The Mutants are back with their brand new third studio album “Grave Groove” on Ranch Records. Recorded by Pentti Dassum and mixed by Jürgen Hendlmeier, the album takes a more rocking, guitar-based approach which is a heavy yet groovy mixture of all good things from past and present. Some people may call it garage rock with mambo and surf influences from the era of blaxploitation movies and beyond, but we simply encourage the dear listener to make their own judgement!

On “Grave Groove” the band continues with the second episode of their mobster trilogy “Meadow Hill” with guest vocals from Nadi Hammouda. The Mutants recorded the album tracks live in studio with minimal overdubs. You can hear from their tight and groovy playing that their musicianship is major league stuff and songwriting is also reaching some new heights with excellent tracks like current live favourite “Outerspace Odyssey” with some hippie groove and golden Haight-Ashbury era backing vocals.

Last years gigs all around the world, from Helsinki to Germany and Argentina, proved that no matter where the guys play, it’s going to be a beer soaked fest from start to finish. This year the band will celebrate their 10th anniversary with more relentless touring. Please check their website for more info on upcoming gigs. Meanwhile, have a blast with “Grave Groove”!

2) The Mutants were a punk rock band from Detroit. The group released two singles on their own FTM label - "So American" (1978) and "I Say Yeah" (1979). They went on to release a 12" EP in 1983 as Motor City Mutants. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
