MURDER CITY DEVILS: IN NAME AND BLOOD


The Murder City Devils were a garage punk band active between 1996 and 2001.

Tracks
1. Press Gang
2. I Drink The Wine
3. Bunkhouse
4. Idle Hands
5. Rum To Whiskey
6. I'll Come Running
7. Demon Brother
8. Lemuria Rising
9. Somebody Else's Baby
10. In This Town
11. No Grave But The Sea
12. Fields Of Fire


The inside fold out sets the mood for this album, as it's packed with gory photos of the band dressed up as murder victims. But without involving any gimmicks, the Murder City Devils just rock out to a gritty, nostalgic garage punk that looks up to the Dead Boys and Alice Cooper. The organ-synth adds to the haunting appeal of an already bleak, party-like presence that the Devils have had since day one.
