After recording and releasing their 4th
studio album "The High Road", THE MUDMEN have been getting
quite a lot of attention with a slight new direction in sound. The
Campbell Brothers have gone right into their Scottish/Irish Celtic
roots and dug up an amazing album! With each song getting the crowd
dancing, singing along and drinking their faces off, "The High
Road" is a blast of Celtic energy that no one can resist!
The band are best known for their singles "5 O'Clock",
"Saturday", and "Drink and Fight" as well as
their covers of Spirit Of The West's "Home For A Rest"
and AC/DC's "It's A Long Way To The Top (If You Want To Rock
'N Roll". In addition, the band's music has been featured in
popular culture - their single "Lost", from Defending
the Kingdom, was featured in a promotional video for the NBC television
show The Black Donnellys, and their single "Animal" was
featured in the soundtracks of the video games Burnout 3: Takedown
and MX vs. ATV Unleashed. In 2008 Robby & Sandy Campbell were
called in to help out in CBC's Hockey Night in Canada Anthem Challenge,
in which they played the Bagpipes on Colin Obersts "Canadian
Gold", the winning anthem.
The band's name comes from the Campbell
Brothers' occupation prior to forming the band:they were mixing
mortar and carrying bricks for bricklayers.
