The Murder - 'Til Death

I’m writing this having just returned from the post office, dropping off the materials for our upcoming album, “‘Til Death”.

I’m really proud of how the album came out. The four of us got together and really gave it our all, and I think the end result is a great party oriented, sing along record! It’s going to be out April 20th on limited edition vinyl, and includes a free digital download so you can get the best of both worlds!

To celebrate, we’re releasing “Streets of Boston“, the first single off the album as a free digital download, so check it out, enjoy it and pass it along to your friends to check out as well! You’ll also get added to our email list to keep updated on the newest developments in the world of The Murder!

We’ll be posting more information about this in the coming weeks, so keep checking back often! Hopefully you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed creating it!

Ron Holbrook Benefit

For the third year running, 2 Nights of Boston’s finest punk bands will get together to raise money for the family of our fallen friend Ron Holbrook. The Welch Boys, Ron’s old band, will be playing both nights.

Kicking off on Saturday, February 13th there will be performances from some amazing bands, including Burning Streets, The Beantown Boozehounds, Snipes, Drago and Dead Friends.

The following night, Sunday, February 14th brings the long awaited return of The Blue Bloods, as well as the CD Release for Refuse Resist’s new album “SOCIALIZED”. Rounding out the lineup will be local favorites Ashers and The Murder, as well as Full Powered Halo. Treat your valentine to something truly special this year by bringing them to the show!

All proceeds from the door as well as 50% of Refuse Resist’s CD sales go to the family of Ron Holbrook.

Anti-Flag

So Anti-Flag is coming to my city tonight. They’re playing down the street, at The Paradise. If I were a more violent person I might consider going down there and pulling the same type of number some locals pulled on Moby the last time he played the ‘dise…

Seriously though, is anyone else as sick of Anti-Flag as I am? I mean, besides their tired angry liberal bullshit and promote an anti-capitalist stance while they play festivals with corporate sponsors and sell music and merchandise, for a time on a major label… It’s just foolishness. I’m glad they’ve found an angle to help them sell records and get their message across, I just wish it wasn’t so hypocritical…

I’m glad I’m not the only one who feels this way: Check out this post from SomethingAwful.com, Garbage Day: Anti-Flag

I’ll be the first to admit, I used to like Anti-Flag… I was also 16, so please forgive me… What happened? I grew up, got a job and moved out of mommy and daddy’s house… Maybe someday, they’ll do the same.

Oh yeah, and Justin Sane looks like a retarded Pee Wee Herman.
