Murray Meets Mutt: Who Will Prevail?

JORDAN MURRAY LETS US INTO HIS MUTT HERITAGE AND THE FREEDOM OF RIDING

When I get tour dates - in my head I’m instantly thinking maybe I could follow behind the others on the Mutt.

Hardcore Punk royalty is the order of the day from our next Q&A. With six studio albums to date including 2019’s ‘Misery Sequence’, Brutality Will Prevail guitarist Jordan Murray has plenty of pedigree.

With era-defining hardcore punk performances at the likes of Reading and Leeds Festival, Download Festival and more, the Welsh outfit are frontrunners in a scene that moves fast and makes a hell of a lot of noise. Sounds familiar...

Delving deeper into Jordan’s Mutt heritage, we spoke with him about his Fat Sabbath 125, how riding plays a big part in his life and his bucket list Mutt ride out.

As soon as Mutt was on the radar, that was it for Jordan! As he describes: “I can honestly say at 32 I haven’t thought about riding until this year until I saw the Mutt range - I think it was the Mongrel first and I was fascinated from then on - within weeks I booked the CBT and snagged myself a Fat Sabby!”

Being a 125, our Fat Sabbath is primed and ready for a host of new riders to get their CBT locked in and get out on the open road. Jordan now looks for any opportunity to roll out on his street cruiser. “Now I just look for any opportunity to get the Mutt out - I’m constantly checking the weather apps and planning trips out - I even ask the other half if she needs me to go get anything for her, purely as an excuse to hop on the bike”

Sounds like someone is hooked on his Fat Sabbath, who can blame him? Retro looks and everyday rideability are absolutely

key and Jordan’s 125 does just the job on short runs to the shops and going further afield on ride outs.

Where I live in South Wales I’m spoilt for countryside - when me and my mate go out we go right through the Brecon Beacons and down empty roads - we cruise past castles, reservoirs and waterfalls - doing the route in a car wouldn’t be half as exciting.

It’s no wonder that Jordan has chosen a country ride over being in the city. “As much as I love nipping past all the traffic jams on the way to work, it’s gotta be a country ride every time.” That image of cruising down narrow country lanes, buzzing from picturesque village to village sounds spot on.

Even when out on tour, getting Mutt time is key for Jordan as he described his thinking behind possibly taking his Sabbath out on the road with Brutality Will Prevail. “Now when I get tour dates - in my head I’m instantly thinking maybe I could follow behind the others on the Mutt. But logistically it doesn’t make sense - any one-off shows though I will be riding to.

I’ve managed to tour a decent percentage of the world and visit places with my friends that you wouldn’t necessarily holiday with my band. Managed to experience different cultures and see things that wouldn’t have been possible without being in a band.

Nothing matches the freedom of riding for Jordan and it would be mega to see his Fat Sabbath on stage with Brutality Will Prevail sometime soon!
