Not sure yet? Read what people have been saying;

The Murder's first studio EP has been released to critical acclaim, noting superior production values and the injection of new life into a sometimes stagnant movement. As Rob V of Cheap Thrills notes, the group "offers up a brand of classic Boston punk with catchy, in your face tunes and plenty of devil may care."

Their sound is fast and loud, harking back to the early days of Social Distortion and Cock Sparrer, with a touch of The Clash thrown in for good measure. The opening track "Boston Burns" recalls some painful history in the Red Sox nation, while the politically charged anthem "C-B.S." provides some perspective on more national events. "Movin' On", "Glass House" and "Gravedigger" show that The Murder is capable of writing songs of a more personal nature, while "Rounders" is a rallying cry for players on the pro poker circuit.

Invigorating and noteably well-produced, the album exudes an unrefined disposition that's faded from the genre in recent years. David Day of The Weekly Dig sums it up best: "The history of Boston punk rock would take 1,000 of these blurbs – or one listen to the debut EP from The Murder".

I go to school in Boston. Although I hate the Red Sox. It happens when your family is from New York and are all Yankees or Mets fans. Glad to see it didn't mention that you sound like the Dropkick Murphys. Not that there is anything wrong with them. It just seems like a lot of Boston punk bands copy them.

Very cool, hope you can come out to a show sometime. Yeah, we appreciate not being compared to DKM either lol.

Here's one of the best quotes we ever recieved:

"No bag pipes, no bar room chants, no fake accents; I was beginning to think it was impossible for Boston to produce something that didn't try to sound Irish"
- Jerry Attrik (The Vicious Bastards)

Hope you enjoy the tunes!
