The Murder Capital are coming for you.
It’s not often there is a hype around a band before they’ve even released their first single. That’s what’s happened to The Murder Capital, but they’ve built up a big fan-base from their live shows alone.
In an age where people and bands overshare by default, this band have been doing the opposite. If you wanted to know about The Murder Capital, you had to get to a show and see for yourself.
Based on the caustic strength of one live recording of ‘More Is Less‘, which went viral on YouTube (watch), and feverish word of mouth from those who have been lucky enough to attend these early gigs, they have built a formidable reputation. In just over a year, they have played alongside Slaves, Shame and fellow countrymen Fontaines DC.

There is a real fresh, raw quality to their sound. You just know these lads would have a crowd bouncing as if their lives depended on it at a gig. The Murder Capital are probably the next big thing in Irish music. You probably haven’t heard it here first.
