From Why Would I Watch (2023). Why Would I Watch is the third studio album by Michigan emo band Hot Mulligan, released on 12 May 2023 by Wax Bodega. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster through a Fender Hot Rod DeVille 212 IV, the rig we use for Hot Mulligan's other songs from Why Would I Watch, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
