Murdered Man

About Me

Murdered Man is one of the most influential breakcore vocalists of the post-lounge era. His is a voice that could melt ice, turn the water into dry ice, and then make the dry ice moist again. Mmm. Smooth, easy-going, swinging. He's a globally-renowned modern dance critic and electric new wave guitarist who espouses a carefree, devil-may-care attitude. No socks? Hey, why not? What can I say - he's incorrigible!
