Inspired by the days of the Twisted Wheel, it's Max Murdoch and Northern Soul Project. This is the ONLY Northern Soul live act in the State of Hawaii. Not just reaching out to the mods, skins, rude boys, and punks... but EVERYONE. Max Murdoch's tunes aren't your typical sappy soul mush you'll here at a karaoke bar. These are real stompers, engineered to keep you shouting and dancing with it's classic force fused with a punk rock attitude.
"Max has succeeded in creating a unique and catchy sound. It's eclectic and mass appeal at the same time. Very cool."
-Adam Aspelin, Program Director, Star 101.9 KUCD-FM, Honolulu, Hawaii
"The music has punch, spirit and merit... striving for Maximum overdrive."
-Wayne Harada, Honolulu Advertiser: 5/4/07
"... a strong soulful presence."
-Kerry Miller, West O'ahu Islander: 4/25/07
"... entertaining in an alt-rock garage-band sort of way."
-John Berger, Star-Bulletin: 4/13/07
