Biography
Hailing from Bloomington, Indiana, Murder by Death is known for their unique blend of brooding balladry and orchestral indie rock, drawing from genres like country, folk, rock, and musical theater. Influenced by artists such as Johnny Cash and Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, the band has cultivated a devoted following with their dark, rootsy sound, often described as "whiskey devil music." Their discography includes standout albums like In Bocca al Lupo (2006) and Bitter Drink, Bitter Moon (2012), with the recent release of Spell/Bound in 2022.
Originally named Little Joe Gould, Murder by Death captured the attention of Eyeball Records owner Alex Saavedra through a recommendation from Thursday's Geoff Rickly. The band's lineup of Adam Turla, Alex Schrodt, Matt Armstrong, Sarah Balliet, and Vincent Edwards evolved to reflect their sound, which pays homage to influences like Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, Johnny Cash, and the Decemberists. With a series of successful releases and extensive touring, including collaborations with bands like Lucero and Rasputina, Murder by Death has solidified their place in the indie music scene.
