The Muslims are a Durham, North Carolina-based punk band known for their politically charged and outspoken music that tackles issues of racism, Islamophobia, and societal inequalities. Formed in 2017, the band members include QADR (vocals), Abu Shea (bass), and Ba7Ba7 (drums), who address both personal experiences and broader political themes with piercing wit and unapologetic candor through their songs. The band's identity is deeply intertwined with their experiences as Black, queer, Muslim individuals, which heavily influences their lyrical content and shapes their unique sound within the punk community.

With a discography that includes tracks like "Fuck These Fuckin Fascists" and "Merry Jihad," The Muslims are not ones to shy away from controversy or discomfort, presenting their messages with both humor and intensity. Albums such as "Inshallah: Tomorrow We Inherit the Earth" and "Mayo Supreme" showcase their ability to balance melody and noise, creating a space for themselves in a genre that has historically been dominated by straight, white musicians. Their self-titled album "The Muslims" along with the cutting "Gentrifried Chicken" continue to win them fans and critics alike, as they deliver their confrontational soundtracks for a new generation of punk activists.
