Mute The TV return with 27 Years Young
- A nostalgic indie anthem packed with 90s energy
Music Review | 26th March, 2026
Since bursting onto the scene in 2020, Mute The TV have quietly been carving out their own scrappy corner of the indie world - the kind built on jangly hooks, fuzzed-out guitars, and a whole lot of DIY spirit. Recording, producing, and mixing everything from home, the band have been steadily stacking releases, already notching up a run of singles and an EP that’s helped cement their sound.
But don’t let the sunny melodies fool you. Underneath all that garage-rock energy, their lyrics dig into the heavier stuff - isolation, daily grind, emotional turbulence - all wrapped in tracks that somehow still make you want to move.
Hot on the heels of their previous single Depression Session, the four-piece are back with 27 Years Young, and it’s a vibe. Think 90s indie nostalgia with a modern kick: crunchy riffs, distorted guitars, punchy drums, and layered harmonies that stick with you long after the track ends.
Lyrically, it leans into that bittersweet space - part reflection, part wake-up call. It’s about chasing what matters, figuring things out (or at least trying to), and learning to appreciate the small wins along the way. There’s a touch of melancholy in there, sure, but it never drags - the energy keeps it lifted.
And if you needed proof these songs hit just as hard live, look no further than their recent headline show at The Harbour Bar in Bray. Packed room, sweaty walls, and a crowd fully committed to the chaos - headbanging, shouting every word back, and yes, some truly questionable dancing.
Mute The TV might be doing it all from their bedrooms, but they’re sounding bigger - and louder - every step of the way.
The single, 27 Years Young, is available through all streaming platforms.
