ABOUT

ABOUT

Merwulf (rhymes with werewolf) is a minimalist post-indie-punk from Portland, Oregon. Built around distorted bass, vintage-style keys, and hard-hitting drums, the band is often compared to modern post-punk acts like Gustaf and Sweeping Promises, as well as earlier touchstones from 1970s New York. Overseas radio has also tagged Merwulf as a Riot Grrrl band, a read the group welcomes even as their sound slips between scenes.

Led by songwriter Merri Garcia alongside longtime collaborators Misty and Larry R., Merwulf balances tension, humor, and emotional directness. The band released their debut EP All Zen +2 in 2023, followed by their first full-length On a Night Walk, released on vinyl by Moodkiller Records in 2025. Their sophomore album, In the Golden Age, arrives in May 2026 on Moodkiller.
