Documenting Minnesota Punk Rock – One post at a time!

The Murderers

Self Titled 7″ 1996
Bob fuckin’ Murderer. Right on. Was anyone more drunk than Bob? Ever? Drunk punk rock from Minneapolis by way of Indiana. From the Havoc Records website:
Totally chaotic Punk/HC in the Disorder, Bad Posture tradition. At the heart of the Murderers is the legendary Bob Murderer who has kept versions of this band going since the early 80’s. One incarnation backed GG Allin for a while. Bob also played in the Vampire Lesbos and many other bands in the 80’s. Moving to Minnesota Bob got a new line up together and recorded these songs, some new, some from the mid 80’s. Totally irreverent drunk drugged chaos punk with a ton of energy and power. This 7″ is a blast of pure chaos. The Murderers lineup changed several times. Sid From Misery took over on drums when Mitch Useless left to play in Servitude and later Code 13. The Murderers sound changed somewhat later on. Their subsequent recordings sounded more like the US Bombs or Sex Pistols. But this 7″ is pure, hate filled hardcore punk. The Murderers released a split 12″ picture disk with the Jerkoffs on Beer City in 1999. They played a final show and broke up in 2000.

This record went out of print in 2008.
Get it here.

    My dad created this band along with Bob and the rest of the MURDERERS, in the base ment of our house on glen st. In farmington NH… I remember going down into that dingy, moth ball scented pit, just pit to read the propaganda Bob had plastered all over the walls…. I fucking loved all of it…
