What happens when a musical group of empathetic engineers team up with a sassy vegan horse trainer? You get MUNN: songs about science, love, humor, and compassion delivered in a whimsical and yet deeply relatable way. This catchy folk rock band with a unique indie vibe is partnered with Science in a Suitcase, so a portion of MUNN’s revenue helps fund science, art, and robotics education for under-served children around the world. MUNN’s layered harmonies, upbeat melodies, and sing-along choruses that are core to the band's dynamic sound will have you singing along and feeling good about yourself and the world.
Their debut EP "Hydrogen" was released on all streaming and digital platforms in 2017. It has garnered tens of thousands of streams on Spotify alone, has been in rotation on multiple internet radio stations, and through MUNN’s recent signing with De Wolfe Music’s top-tier sync licensing label DW:1STOP, you can expect to start hearing these songs in movies, TV, commercials, and possibly even video games! They have begun recording new music and will being releasing a series of songs in 2020.
The band has played in cities across Texas, with a solid following of devoted fans in Austin and Dallas, and they have been featured in online music blogs, local television programs, and recently on the back cover of Cliq N Pose Magazine.
According to Rene Cobar from Pheature Rockstar, MUNN “certainly has captured lightning in a bottle. [They have] created a sound that takes you to a place where good triumphs.
The music is laced with lyrics about science, animals, and love for all creatures; this evokes an honesty, selflessness, and goodness that is hard to find. These same components led Jeff and Alyssa to discover three years ago MUNN's ego-free formula for success: respect for self and all. Their band is championing more than just a good time.
You see when bands have honest and clear intentions from the start it reflects in their music, and that is why MUNN’s story is worth sharing.”
