Hailing from Dayton, Ohio, the epicenter of the rust belt’s drain-spiraling unemployment pit, Ohio’s Murder Your Darlings deliver their rock and roll with unsmiling venom. It’s the kinda rock best served through the one functioning speaker in the car with one headlight still working on the way to another place where you will not, cannot, and never will, find work. Formed from the ashes of Ohio's two loudest bands (The Vincents and The Igniters), MYD have been amazing audiences throughout the midwest and east coast for the past four years. Their debut CD displays the darkness of the downtrodden working man and an entire generation of southern rockers, then skronks it up with northern hardcore punk nihilism, and a ladeling of mid-west noise-rock buzzsaw gravy. Murder Your Darlings churns out the brand of twangy metallic rock favored by the Jesus Lizard, Nirvana, The MC5, and Black Flag. Fall of 2007 sees the release of the follow up CD, "Modern Man Blues" coming out on the band's own Toxic Newt record label. Teaming up again with Workbook Studio co founder Jon Chinn, MYD have recorded mammoth album full of huge guitars and punk rock angst. Featuring cover art by world famous Cleveland artist Derek Hess, the album is destined to be another cult classic by the infamous Dayton quartet. This may be the first you’ve heard from ‘em, but damn sure will not be the last. Murder Your Darlings weighs in heavily, thunderously, unflinchingly.
