Staffan Johansson and Peter Murphy first met in the fall of 1999. After half an hour in rehearsal, they performed their first gig together in a small club in stockholm and have just kept going on ever since. Wanting to add a bit more diversity to their music, they decided to call the best. Stefan Cronebck had been playing with Staffan before and Andreas Nordell with Peter and by springtime 2000, Peter Murphy's Carver Combo was a fact. Very quickly everything fell into place and they developed a way of making music that was both fast, rewarding and very exciting. Peter writes the songs and the whole band brings what they've got to the arrangements. With Andreas inventive upright bass playing and beautiful backing vocals, Stefans dynamic drumming and Staffans characteristic and unpredictable guitar playing combined with Peters songs, they found a sound of their own. This sound has been described in various ways and will hopefully continue to be described in various ways. Even though having many songs is one of the strengths with this band, it can make it difficult when it comes to picking out the right ones for a debut album. After playing the clubs in Stockholm (one highlight being a gig with Rufus Wainright) for about a year and a half, making demos and plans our boys entered the Eastman Studio in 2003 to record "One sin between me & the Lord". With a little financial help from Sony Publishing and a truckload of help from their co-producer Jerker Eklund it was finished a year later. The record is full of guest musicians and one of them, the fabulous Markus Olsson, who plays sax and bass clarinet on the album, is now a permanent member of the band, adding further to the Carver Combo sound with his feverish organ playing. A man of many talents! So with Markus in the band and a brand new record up their sleeve, I give you: Peter Murphy's Carver Combo!

"DJ Monkey …soul-stirring, excitingly edgy music…just disturbing (read ‘mind-f**king’) enough to demand attention. There is a whole spice rack of auditory flavors here, served up like fractured poetry on a collection of intensely listenable Hallmark cards from Hell." Bill Margold, Cinema Seen, L.A. X..Press
