Style

Post‑punk/punk‑rock power trio with three interlocking lead vocals. Dry, driving groove; angular guitar and melodic bass push songs from sweetness to abrasion in seconds. Everyday lyrics with a political undertow and sharp humor—built for the live room, recorded like it.

Profile

MUGRE is a Buenos Aires-based post‑punk/punk‑rock power trio formed in 2015 by Jazmín Esquivel, Sofía Naara Malagrino and Mariana Michi. Three voices share the lead: hooks arrive as a chant, an argument, or a punchline, always riding tight drums, angular guitar and a bass line that refuses to stay in the background. Their 2024 full‑length SOMOS PROFESIONALES (Twitin Records), produced by Tweety González, captures the band as it works: close to live, with arrangements kept lean and decisions made fast. Across ten songs, everyday scenes open into a political undercurrent—humor, desire, break‑ups and boundaries—without losing the adrenaline of the underground rooms where they grew up. On stage, MUGRE reads as one compact instrument: rhythmic precision, hard stops, and sudden turns from sweetness to abrasion, built for sweat, pogo and sing‑along.

Details

Jazmín Esquivel
Songwriter-guitarist with a pop instinct sharpened by post‑punk economy: short forms, tight melodic curves, and lyrics that turn the everyday into subtext. Her phrasing favors contrast—soft lead lines against hard edges—so the guitars can both cut and sing. Outside the trio she moves through acoustic and producer-led contexts, feeding MUGRE with new harmonic “toys” and vocal colors. In the band, she anchors narrative direction: voice, riff and scene-setting in one gesture.

Sofía Naara Malagrino
A drummer-vocalist who thinks like an arranger: she controls density with silence, accents and sudden accelerations. Her playing stays dry and forward, giving the trio’s three voices a clean grid to lock into. In the studio and on stage she treats timbre as structure—pads, textures and dynamic shifts as part of the song. In MUGRE she is the cut: the decisive pulse that makes the band feel compact and volatile.

Mariana Michi
A bassist-producer whose lines carry melody as much as weight, pushing songs forward without losing shape. Her sound favors groove with intention: tight repetition, then one turn that changes the whole picture. She brings a production ear to the trio—how a part sits, how a chorus lifts, how the low end tells the story. In MUGRE she balances impulse and control, making the band’s contrasts feel deliberate rather than accidental.
