SCOTLAND

"The Murderburgers are a high-energy melodic punk rock’n’roll band from Scotland who deal in lightening quick anthemic intelligent pop-punk bangers. Formed in 2007, The Murderburgers have grown from gobby Ramones-esque young punks into arguably Scotland’s finest ever punk rock export. Last year’s “How To Ruin Your Life” LP was their most cohesive work to date and is a classic of the modern pop-punk genre. Happiest when on tour, The Murderburgers have grown up on the road having toured extensively across the UK, Europe and the USA, both by themselves and as support to the likes of contemporaries such as The Copyrights, Dear Landlord, DeeCRACKS, and have played with the likes of Dillinger 4, Pennywise and countless others.

Spending endless months on the road on both sides of the Atlantic, including playing the legendary Gilman Street in Berkeley, California and surviving near-death experiences in mainland Europe during 2012, The Murderburgers have built their reputation on the strength of their dedication, passion, hard work and sheer talent, not to mention being armed with some of the finest hooky pop-punk anthems this side of early Green Day. With an unrivalled work ethic, they have released four full-length records on labels including Monster Zero Records and All In Vinyl, as well as releasing split 7”s with the likes of The Gamits, The Helltons, The Griswalds and Priceduifkes. They have wracked up over 500 shows across the world since their formation, making for razor-sharp live shows bursting full of blood and guts, mixed with typical dry Scottish humour.

Thus far, 2013 has seen the band sign to the legendary independent punk label Asian Man Records and complete the recording of “These Are Only Problems”, their fifth full-length album. The record will be released worldwide through Asian Man Records (original home of Alkaline Trio/The Lawrence Arms) in the fall of this year. The Murderburgers will be touring with their kindred spirits The Walking Targets throughout the UK this summer before heading back to the USA in the lead up to Pre-Fest in Ybor City, Florida and The Fest 12 in Gainesville.

Most unhappy when not on tour, The Murderburgers are a relentless punk rock juggernaut that lives to be on the road. Their infectious pop-punk bluster deals with the universal issues; life, death, depression, poverty, mental illness, hope; wrapped up in an explosive ball of anxiety and chaos, delivered at 200 miles per hour whilst channeling the spirit of their forefathers The Ramones and The Queers. The Murderburgers represent all that is great about Scottish punk rock and are a band that we are proud to see taking over the world.

It’s Burger Time.”
