Band Review
THE MURDOCKS
riyl: nirvana, pixies, the white stripes
words: ani v. steen / photography: dániel perlaky


Murdocks formed in 2003 in a scorching hot public storage unit in Austin, TX.
Over the last two years the band has spent night after night honing their craft – churning out catchy, hook-filled, melodic songs that draw attitude from their punk rock roots and incorporated elements of indie rock, garage rock, and power-pop. With distorted sing-scream vocals, a driving and eccentric rhythm section, and lyrics as innocent as they are morbid, the Murdocks are equal parts beauty and beast.
In 2 years’ time Murdocks have done 5 national tours and 5 official releases, played 200+ shows and sold thousands of records the old fashioned way. The latest of which, Surrenderender, has been met with critical acclaim and national recognition from both press and radio. Keep an eye out in 2006 for 7 inches and continued US touring.
