Murdocks

Murdocks' latest release, Distortionist - 
has raised a few heads in the press.  Check out the love from The Ripple Effect, Austin Music, Austin Sound, and Revolt.  And that's not the whole list. 

Though their earliest EP hit the public way back in '03, members have come and gone, as is the wont of musical entities the world over.  The current version has frontman and Murdock's CEO of Vision Franklin Morris on the guitar, with Kyle Robarge on bass, and David T. Jones (of Watch Out For Rockets fame) behind the drum kit.  They crank out their own signature form of alt-rockish, airtight punk.  Though they can deliver poppish, ABA structured, straight-ahead pieces ("OMG", "Bloodsicle", etc), they're not above busting into  harder-edged garage-jams for your listening pleasure ("Danger Goat", "Playhouse Down"). 
They just swept through Texas on a mini tour that included Houston, Laredo, San Antonio, San Marcos, and of course, Austin; but they'll be playing The Parish for the OxFam 2011 Benefit.  Get Distortionist now so you can sing along whilest they jam:
