Many people today pay lip service to the sound and fury of the 80s hardcore punk scene. One of the most important names to arise from that underground is MURPHY'S LAW. From their earliest days as kings of the New York Hardcore Sunday Matinee, through the many trends and movements since, front man Jimmy G and his revolving cast of characters have never abandoned the scene or their fans MURPHY'S LAW stayed true to the game and they still have a real love for what they do.
The Party's Over, the band's The Age Of Venus label debut, is one of the great efforts of 2002. Noted producer Daniel Rey (Ramones, Misfits, White Zombie) has created 15 tracks of gritty punk music with serious pop appeal. Nowhere is that sonic maturity more evident than on the album's radio-friendly first single "Vicky Crown," with its tight riffs and punchy choruses. Other standout cuts include the opening shred of "Maximum Lie," the Clash-style punk/reggae of "Walking Alone," and their faithful renditions of Simaryp's "Skinhead Girl," and Beer Nuts' "Woke Up Tied Up."
When it comes to MURPHY'S LAW, it's always a fresh experience. Without hype or pretense, they've earned their place as one of the great NYC rock bands
