A Michigan band that mixes emo energy with personal lyrics, named after a Caddyshack character.
If you want to get what they're about, listen to 'Equip Sunglasses' and 'Dary'. They're both good examples of how their sound works.
Hot Mulligan's songs like 'Equip Sunglasses' and 'BCKYRD' capture that specific feeling of being young and restless in the Midwest. They've got that pop-punk drive, but the lyrics dig into anxiety and small-town life in a way that feels real. The band formed in Lansing in 2014, and their name comes from a minor character in Caddyshack, which tells you something about their sense of humor.
They started with the EP 'Opportunities' in 2016, then put out their first full album 'Pilot' in 2018. 'I Fell in Love with Princess Peach' came in 2021, showing their mix of emo and indie rock. There was a lineup change with Chris Castagno joining on drums, and they paused touring in 2022 before returning to shows.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
