apex.......2005-02-22

This is one of the best, IF NOT THE BEST, rock groups in the last fifteen years. I never got to see them live in person but have seen numerous videos and regret not seeing them every time I listen to any of their albums or dead low tides albums. Buy any of Murder City Devils albums and you have purchased one of the most under rated rock bands of all time. I only wish that they hadn't of called it quits.........

Like a drunk and pissed off cure.......2004-10-10

It should be mandatory for anyone that watches mtv or likes sum 41 to listen to a murder city record,because its seldom you come across something as azaming as this band and if you cant like it or get into it force yourself to because your probably just lame if you cant find a reason to dig this

Good times had by all.......2004-02-14

Every single moment of this album is pure genius, even the less known songs like "Hey Sailor" and "Stars in her Eyes" are great. The best songs on the album are "I want a lot now" and "Dancing Shoes."

Rock n Roll.......2001-02-19

This is the sequal to Murder City Devils first self titled album, and to say the least this album is great. The Lyrics are a little diffrent then the first album but still seem to blow this album away, there are still keyboards like in the last album but this album is a little more rock n rollish with songs like JohnnyThunders and others. If your a fan of rock n roll and you like keyboards and really great vocals you'll love this album.

Oh man, there's just something about this record.......1999-10-07

A few songs on this album in particular are just absolutely perfect. I Want a Lot Now, Dancin' Shoes, 18 Wheels, Ready For More, Dear Hearts, Stars in Her Eyes. They're just flawless. Hard and unrelenting, but at the same time, really swaggery and epic-seeming. Maybe its the brutal organ tone, maybe its Spencer Moody's warthog-whose-intestines-are-on-fire howl, maybe its their steady slow tempo, but these songs just have so much presence and power. This record really invigorates both rock and punk by adding a swagger to both, and then twisting them in the Devils own way. This album is fantastic!

drunk and angry? you just may fall in love..........2003-12-08

alright - so as the years wear on, i find myself seperating from the punk scene because once 1000 bands all do the same sound, it starts getting really old. i wandered over into the psychobilly/rockabilly arena for a while, sampled some reggae, checked out some of the straight up rock n'roll bands, but nothing revved me up like punk rock did when i was new to the scene until i heard this band for the first time about a month ago. it's been on steady repeat ever since.

fun angry drunk-core punk n'roll with an organ. it's unreal how good this album is. i only wish this band hadn't broken up. i'm eagerly awaiting my next paycheck so i can buy up the rest of MCD's discography.

This band shows that even in a city of plaid wearin wussies and pearl jam fairies there is still a cool scene.

"Some people were born to rock 'n' roll...".......1999-11-04

The best thing outta the NW since the disbanding of the Derelicts, Zipgun and the Mono Men, the Murder City Devils are the darkest, dampest and dirtiest crevices in your mind uncovered. Things that kill, wrench and twist you apart inside, the unhealed knots in your stomach and the demons pounding in your head are amplified and exorcised by MCD's distinct, tight and cohesive rock 'n' roll. Turn out the lights, curl up alone, turn up the stereo and be cleansed.

In Name and Blood is the third and strongest release yet from the Seattle-based six-piece. While it's not much of a stylistic deviation from previous releases, producer John Agnello gives the whole shebang a bottom-heavier sound. Atop this, front man Spencer Moody does what he does best: holler, holler, and holler some more. Keyboardist Leslie Hardy, a newer addition to the group, adds many Farfisa stabs and squiggles in classic garage-rock style. As the rest of the band holds down the fort, the hits keep on coming. The leadoff track, "Press Gang," sounds monstrous and powerful and, like some of the other anthems on In Name and Blood (especially the cutting "I Drink the Wine"), there's almost a whiff of the lukewarm beer that was probably spilled on the lyric sheets during the album's recording sessions. The grisly, crime-scene theme of the packaging complements the MCD's excellently executed rock. --Jason Josephes

Album Description

On this their third full-length record, The Murder City Devils demonstrate the notion or Rock and Roll as a life or death proposition: tales of love lost (or destroyed), the doomed romanticism of the road (and an innate inability to deny its call), and suffering the slings and arrows of fate (outrageous or otherwise...). "With head, heart and hands - in name and blood." The enhanced CD, contains live video for "Bunkhouse"!

Too late to catch the show. Might as well hear one of the most rocking groups to come out in a while on CD.

The Devils Score again.......2002-01-16

Bright red guitar riffs, monster music organ, killer rhythm section and howling vocals make this another fabulous offering from Seattle's own Murder City Devils. It's too bad they broke up in October of 2001, bands like this don't come around too often.

Swagger Walk Trash Rock.......2001-10-19

This album is one of the greatest in my collection, and I listen to it all the time. It never gets old, and in fact, I like it more all the time. The songs are pure rock and roll, make you want to dance. This band is amazing, pure and simple.

Album Description

A departure of sorts, the six songs on Thelema find the six-piece exploring musical terrain that is as informed by the obstacles of their past as it is by an ambitious quest for the unconquered. It's a sound that can't be compared to the influences constantly referenced in early reviews of the band. Having served their purpose, those influences and markers have crumbled away and with Thelema The Murder City Devils have honed a vitality and style entirely their own, one that is elastic in structure, profound in its lyrical content, and melodic in tone.

hypnotic.......2003-07-01

i bought Thelema on a whim in a record store in Santa Barbara, as I had heard my friend's MCD tribute band play once, although i didn't pay much attention to the show at the time. I put the 10" vinal on in my dorm room... This is an amazing record, i rank it amongst Radiohead's Kid A and Devo's Freedom of Choice. The most original sound of the late 90's and early 2000's.

Brilliant.......2001-09-13

Why don't you have this gorgeous music? Give me one song on here that is not musical or lyrical genius.

Nothing but howl.......2001-09-11

I've been listening to the devils for several years now, and I must say, like a fine wine, they too get better with time. Not as rock and roll as their earilier releases, this EP is more of a hypnotic descent into madness, a nice direction to travel I must admit. Also featuring 364 Days. If you didn't pick up the Christmas 7" you'll want this regardless.

Up to the ears, up to the neck, it's for the curious..........2001-09-05

Once again the Devils have outdone themselves. This EP literally kicks in the doors, climbs in the windows and mesmerizes the listener with wonderful dark howling and organ sounds for whisky guzzling demons, wandering alone in the night. The Devils are saving your rock and roll soul. Hop on board, leave the road, follow the path, it's midnight at the drowning pond and I'm glad, glad you're here for the midnight service...

Album Description

Following Keyboardist Leslie Hardy's mid-tour departure and bassist Derek Fudesco's announcement that he too would be seeking other interests (in Pretty Girls Make Graves), guitarist Nate Manny and Dann Gallucci, drummer Coady Willis and singer Spencer Moody realized the time had come to call it quits, and that the final show of their tour, played on October 31, 2001 in their home town of Seattle, would be their last. This spirited recording captures the Murder City Devils celebrating an emotional end as they pay tribute to the dedicated fan base that supported them from their raw, yet explosibe 1997 debut on the Die Young Stay Pretty label to their three subsequent Sub Pop releases - Empty Bottles, Broken Hearts, In Name and Blood, and Thelema. The Devils went out in a blaze of musical commotion and drunken glory; no true fan would have expected them to do otherwise.

Farewell my friends.......2005-10-11

Well I was at this show on the night of Oct. 31 2001. It was about the 30th time seeing the Murder City Devils, it was a great show but a very sad night. My friend and I went and decided for once we would not do what we normally do during those shows (which was get in the middle of the pit) we decided just to stand there and watch. It was the last time we would ever get to see the Devil's again.

It wasn't the best show of theirs I have ever seen, but still it was amazing. What suprised me the most was how they performed how they always did, half-drunk and moving around the stage, with Spencer changing about half the songs with switching chouruses for verses and etc. I bet some people thought with a final show from a band they would try to make it as perfect sounding as they could. But no they felt it more important to have fun, which is what I always liked.

As far as the cd goes it is still great, though it doesn't compare to actually having been there. I feel bad for anyone who never got the chance to even see them live, when I and my friends have stayed after shows to talk with them, and they always would. We had some good times with them, I'll never forget when Dann gave me two dollars because I needed to buy something. They were just friendly (drunken) people all around and they put on one amazing show.....

They will be missed

R.I.P. M.C.D........2005-06-17

First of all, the sound quality is great, even if all of the performances were not so great. But that's what happens when you have a combination of extremely high energy and alcohol. The Murder City Devils were truly one of the greatest pure rock n roll bands ever, and this show was outstanding. WARNING: Do not make this cd your first purchase of MCD material, otherwise you may not like it. This cd was meant for the fans, so become aware of all their previous material before purchasing this live cd, because it is exactly that, really live. The DVD of this show is even better than the cd, and I give that 5 out of 5 stars. Broken Glass almost brought a tear to my eye when I watched it for the first time. Murder City never disappointed to give a great show and this cd proves that fact.

a fond farewell to one of rock & roll's finest.......2004-07-25

i, sadly, was one year too late for the bliss that was the murder city devils, but i feel that their music will live on in my heart. and especially the hearts of those who experienced it all.

and although it's not quite the same i feel this cd captured perfectly the experience of a murder city devils show as i have dreamed it many times before.

the beautiful guitar tones of dan and nate, the bold steady drumming of coady, the smooth basslines of one of my biggest musical influences derek fudesco, a delightful cameo by the wonderful andrea zolo, and a drunken spencer moody doing what he does best. everything but unique stylings of leslie harding on the organ. but i feel nick dewitt did a fine job.

drink your sorrows away.......2003-09-15

a great bullet to the head for the killing of a monster of sad songs and sailors. to bad too soon a great band with talent disappears into the ports of corpses.

A fitting end.......2003-05-02

This album is by no means perfect. There is plenty of feedback, messed up instruments, mic in mouth singing, and I don't think the lyrics to even one song are correct. (I can't judge the new songs because I haven't heard the originals, but I would bet the new songs are messed up too.) All this is just the way to go for the Devils, however. They were a crazy raucaus band, and for anyone who already has all of the albums, this is definitely worth picking up. It makes me sad to listen to it, as they were one of my favorite bands, but at least they went out loud and drunk like they always were.
