The Muscular Christians are a trash folk alt-country trio from New York City. It could be said that their sound recalls the legendary Holy Modal Rounders and Michael Hurley as well as Bob Dylan and even the Pixies. They write intense, clever, beautiful and humorous songs concerning love, loss, drunk driving, chicken-fried steak, abusive babysitters and Bill Cosby's complete body of work. Though skillfully masked behind a wholesome folk style, fans delight in the trio's unusual material. The Muscular Christians are largely unsure of its overall message and is eagerly unopposed to contradicting itself. For the Muscular Christians, life is good these days. They have just finished Dan Marino: Important Message, an impressive debut album with 18 songs recorded by Jonathan Best, a long time David Byrne collaborator. Read more on Last.fm.
