While founded in 1985, Mucky Pup's 1989
release "A Boy In A Man's World, paved the way
for a lot of acts in the 90’s.
The New Jersey comedic hardcore metallists,
originally comprised of members Dan Nastasi (guitar),
John Milnes (drums), Chris Milnes (vocals), and Scott
LePage (bass), which led to numerous local shows
and two demos that sold well. This led to a deal with
the independent Torrid label, as the group issued
albums on a steady basis for the next ten years to
come.
Although Mucky Pup never broke out of the
metal/hardcore underground in the U.S., they achieved
much greater success overseas in Europe. The group
split up by the late '90s, as founder Dan Nastasi (who
had left the group a few years prior) achieved a huge
success with a similarly styled outfit, Dog Eat Dog, in
Europe.
Today 20 years after the release of "A Boy In A Man's
World", and this while the band's heading out to
Europe on tour, I Scream Records is proud to re-issue
this classic album together with the bands 1990 release
"Now". 29 songs, remastered, new artwork and all that
for the price of one (1) CD!
Re-issues of “A Boy In A Man’s World” and “Now”, a

Formed in the mid-'80s, New Jersey comedic hardcore
metallists Mucky Pup, known for its schizophrenic
combi-nation of juvenile humor, political sarcasm,
and pounding riffs, paved the way for such future
juvenile acts as the Bloodhound Gang, and many
other acts in the 90’s.
Mucky Pup will embark on a European tour this Summer
to celebrate their 20th anniversary, performing songs
voted on by their fans. The band made one US
appearance in New Jersey on April 11, 2009, performing
to a sold out crowd, leaving everybody wanting for
more…
