***DEBUT 6-TRACK EP "THE MURDERHOUSE" NOW AVAILABLE ON iTUNES WORLDWIDE!***
"It's a joy to find that this relatively new trio are oozing potential in spades, the garage rock rumble of David Martin's four-string and Wayne Miller's sprightly drumming neatly offset by Suzy Bradley's pure, clean vocals, while the lyrics suggest dark depths and violent moods. The Murderhouse sound exciting, fresh and original. Maybe it's just refreshing to hear a band not in thrall to current trends, maybe a woman singer naturally stands out amid the bloke-rock hordes, but this is definitely one of the best demos I've heard for a long time." - The Talk Magazine, York, Jan 2007 issue.
"A fuzz bass intro leads into a BRMC rumble, offset by their secret weapon, the switchblade vocals of Suzy Bradley... The band add a bit of punk attitude to these Nick Cave-like mood songs... The attitude, drive and musicianship seem to be all present and correct... we may have an exciting prospect on our hands." - Playmusic Magazine, Issue 3.
"Take two ex-members of post-punkers Red:Shift and add the haunting voice of Suzy Bradley and you've got something very special, that swings between noisy guitarless Wire-rock and crisp PJ Harvey-style balladeering. Make sure you catch them live or pick up their demo without delay" - The Fly.
"Fuzzzed-up rock and noir-ish balladry" - Time Out, London.
"One of the highlights of the night was the female-fronted The Murderhouse's aggressive acoustic attack... A dark and brooding culmination of musical styles" - Sandman Magazine, Leeds.
"The Murderhouse are all about full-on ear-assaulting filthy minimalist rock, with a vocal that you wouldn't want to meet down a dark alley" - whisperinandhollerin.co.uk
The Murderhouse formed in early 2006, after a late-night conversation between ex-Red:Shift guitarist David Martin and Bloody Marys drummer Wayne Miller about forming a two-piece bass/drums band with a simple mission .. playing fast and furious filthy rock inspired by the likes of Death From Above 1979 and Queens Of The Stone Age.
However, things took an unexpected turn when they hooked up with singer/songwriter Suzy Bradley, who had been plying her trade on the acoustic circuit, and brought her remarkable voice and dark folk and blues-influenced songwriting to the band.
The combination worked immediately, and The Murderhouse played their debut gig within a few weeks of meeting Suzy for the first time.
Since then, they have toured the UK, including regular shows in London, various festivals, and a recent visit to Northern Ireland, and in summer 2007 they ventured across the Atlantic for the first time to play a series of very successful dates in New York. Their gigs and recordings have been acclaimed by national and regional music press, and they have also made several radio appearances.
