Mr. Moccasin

the ever-sure antidote to despair: possibility

About Me


Born out of the leftfield, crust punk of Fridge A (see Human Host/Fridge A Split CD, Baths of Power 2003), Mr. Moccasin writes lucid little dream songs about animals, fruits and vegetables, foreign places and drama. Drastic chord changes, big riffs, Eastern-tinged math rock and a constant barrage of hallucinatory lyrics set the table for the kind of fun Mr. Moccasin can dish out in the studio and at shows. Hanna Badalova and Jared Fischer started the band in 2003.

Mr. Moccasin Show Journal

By Jared T. Fischer Introduction: The idea for the new band started when Fridge A had not been playing for a long time. Fridge A always occupied a weird position in Baltimores music scene anyway....
