Muskets (band)

Muskets is an English rock band formed in Brighton, East Sussex, England in 2014, by Alex Cheung, Daniel Mckenna, Dan Smith and Joe Philips. They have released two EP's, 'Pollyseed' in 2014 and 'SPIN' in 2015. Their debut album 'CHEW' was released via No Sleep Records in 2017. Mckenna left the band in late 2017 and was replaced by Harry Steel of the band Rain. Smith therefore moved to guitar and Steel opted to play bass for the group.
