"Murder Mystery is a pop band with a soul and a brain, expert at turning out catchy, hard-rocking, intelligent music in the mode of Nick Lowe, Magnetic Fields, or Talking Heads. There's isn't a single weak track on their self-released debut, Are You Ready for the Heartache Cause Here It Comes; the band's propulsive grooves reference everything from doo-wop to new wave, smoothly melded into their own unique style."
-- The Village Voice
Reviews among the bedhead press have already compared this gutsy four-piece's debut, Are You Ready For The Heartache Cause Here It Comes, to Buddy Holly, Television, Pavement and the Velvet Underground. Hyperbole? Hardly. You know it's the real thing when you leave the gig humming the band's tunes and Murder Mystery rates 95% on the hum-ability meter.
-- Yahoo! Music
All of the music employed to provide accompaniment to Coleman’s journeys is reminiscent to classic pop craft – of smart bass lines that send deep shivers through the songs, light bursts of guitar solo, primetime harmonies, laidback construction and short and sweet tendencies – making the easy connection to all of the work that The Beatles did, where, despite all of the complex compartments and layers, they always managed to make it come off as easy child’s play...the results are fantastic and sort of whimsical, making it feel as if you’ve heard the song before, like you’ve lived it and loved it before, though you haven’t.
-- Daytrotter
"Less than one minute into their debut, Murder Mystery is in full rave-up mode and vocalist Jeremy Coleman finds himself going down for the third time in a torrent of jagged guitars and busy drums. At the precise moment it seems they can't turn the screws any harder, the floor drops out and the song lurches into its cascading chorus, leaving Colemen to plaintively inquire, "Are you ready for the heartache, cause here it comes." Friends, believe me, a breakup has never sounded more thrilling."
-- My Old Kentucky Blog
A collision of hip-shaking '60s soda-shoppe pop and early '90s garage gems, the self-released Are You Ready For The Heartache... is essential jangly, shy-guy-in-the-corner, break-up-and-breakdown rock. And let's face it, once the shy guy breaks out a guitar and a sweetly catchy tune, folks of the female persuasion swoon.
--CMJ
Oh the nostalgia, the possibilities, the cross-fertilisation, the first tinny lo-fi chords, a racket, a deep baritone voice, kind of like Beat Happening playing Motown - marvellous...This is what indie-pop music should sound like: enormous fun to make and even more fun to listen to and when everything comes together."
--Americana UK
“As far as a debut record goes, [Murder Mystery] do all the right things. They keep the songs upbeat, peppy and short. Instead of hammering on a riff for way too long, they truncate the songs and make you want to hear the song again and again… I think what I like the most about Murder Mystery is that you can't help but feel nostalgic (or like your at that dance in Back to the Future) when you listen.
As the opening notes of Honey Come Home start playing you are taken to another time - a time where life, and music was simpler. If you take every note at face value, like I think the band does, you'll find yourself tapping along with a smile and making you shuffle and smile is what Murder Mystery is all about.” -- Hero Hill
"Murder Mystery translates the human experience." -- drunk dude
Thanks! Recording has been slow but fun. Hopefully the ep will be out by the end of summer. We're also working on a split with Palace Sinners (from Louisiana). Hope all is well...

it's the one I am making $625 a week with putting in about 23 hours a week, sometimes up to like 30 hours if I'm daydreaming.
After you get your membership make sure you sign up with the companies on page one in the members section because they are the ones that pay you the most, I got $75 for one that took me 25 minutes today. You'll see what I'm talking about when you get in there.
Mary started taking them too and she's making $800 a week, it's making me so mad because I'm the one that showed her which one to sign up with now she's making more than me.
Alright well me and Mary are getting ready to go partying, just give me a call or I'll catch you on here and let me know if you have any problems with your membership.
