The Punchline Is Murder...

we are beatdown

About Me


ADD OUR BANNER TO YOUR PAGE
Regularly described a sounding like "a car crash on the M25... but in a good way!" or "like making a hardcore pate out of your senses!" The Punchline Is Murder... are essentially best viewed live. Mixing sweeping metal melodies with punishing beatdowns, epic crescendos and crushing riffage there is a certain 'take no prisoners' attitude. These boys are only here for the carnage. Having supported the likes of Walls of Jericho, Betzefer, Beecher and Cursed - TPIM...'s live show is a wall of brutal violence which will either leave you in hospital (where the band end up on regular occasions) or hanging onto the bar, drooling into your pint and planning a relaxing holiday in Iceland to recover from the experience.
Formed in 2004, the band has always been a mix of hardcore and metal fans who - when not arguing over what to out on the stereo in the tour bus - find time to blend the genres in a way previously unthought of by the side-swiped emo masses. You won't find any singing; acoustic guitar or concessions here - just a jackhammer violently pummelling your brain from start to finsh. And woe betide anyone left standing.
