King Tuff Shares Invisible Ink

It’s been good to have King Tuff back in the game here, and his latest single sees him returning with his old bandmates from Happy Birthday all rocking out together once again. This tune is exactly what Tuffy does best, delivering really classic songwriting circled around pop sensibility, but with just enough attitude and grit to really deliver the personality to make old punks feel cool. For some reason, it reminds me of the final performance by the band in School of Rock, and I’m not a hater, I love that. Think the return to form has us all salivating for Moo, which drops on March 27th via Mup.

King Tuff Returns with Moo

January 26, 2026 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve thought about King Tuff, though I’ve always enjoyed his habit of brandishing garage rock with hooks. Today, after a few years off, Tuffy returns with a new record titled Moo, and as one has to do, he’s shared a brand new single/video for you to soak up. When listening through my first few times, I definitely notice some slight changes in his sound; he’s still adhering to the history of garage rock, but in doing so, he’s softened a bit. This song relies more upon a stomp with large hooks smashing about; you’ll also get to hear a little more patience in the vocals, which feels like the culmination of years of growth as a songwriter. Stoked to hear where this record heads; Moo drops on March 27th via Mup Records.
