mud·lark

noun

1.
a person who gains a livelihood by searching for iron, coal, old ropes, etc., in mud or low tide.

2.
a street urchin (informal).

Faced with a co-writing assignment whilst studying at the ICMP in Kilburn, songwriters John Armstrong and Matt Bray met, and after one heated afternoon of head-scratching, Mudlarks were born. Falling into an ofttimes friendly playfight of influences they flit from Britpop to Garage Rock and Americana. With reverential respect for pop tradition pavers including The Beatles and The Kinks, and recently blessed with two more additions, Ben Heliczer (Drums) and Michael Jevon (Bass), Mudlarks continue to work on a heady mix of overtly romantic, cynical, yet gladdening songs … and they lie in wait.
