Following in the footsteps of musicians like David Bowie, Rob Zombie, Trent Reznor, Al Jourgenson and Bjork, the members of Murder Capital Allstars have created an eclectic mix of heavy guitars, electronic beats and noises. A little vocal aggravation also adds a sting of emotion. Catchy rhythms and a knack for melodic hooks leave the listener with the “song stuck in my head” ailment.
Based out of the New Orleans area, the group created this album solely in a home based studio. Recording, engineering and mastering the music directly on computer granted them an extreme level of creative control that resulted in this 11 song CD that certainly leaves the listener all but NUMB.
Formerly focused on music in the genre of Tool, Korn, NIN and Deftones, they have expanded into other areas with interest ranging from Crystal Method to Bjork, to Jay-Z and Fiona Apple. Pulling together the best of their techniques and influences, Murder Capital Allstars have now developed a style very unique and all their own.
This album is dedicated to the spirit of independent musicians around the world. Beyond doubt, this is proof that with dedication, focus and a bit of talent, it can be done! Murder Capital Allstars members include James Laing, Craig Santicola, and J.C. Pennington.

The song "Keeps Comin' Up"
This cd just plain rocks. Fantastic arrangement and gritty guitars make this an incredible release. There isn't a bad track on this entire disc. All the songs are very hooky and dynamic. Be on the lookout for Murder Cpaital Allstars!
Mike Stahl - BandRadio
A driving and energy filled song. Powerful guitars and vocals mixed with a techo feel. It was hard to pick just one from this disc of totally cool tunes.
Mike Stahl - BandRadio.com
Raging but properly dolorous and slow metal fragment. Nice grinding bass line, too, a crucial plus. Good husky-voiced frontman who doesn't try to get too shrill... And there's an actual song with actual structure here, not just riffs pasted together.
