	Cityzen.tv: Live Review- Murder by Death (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		I liken the band to an orchestra because each member seems to be an individual composer, producing a complex musical masterpiece of his or her own that comes together all at once to create the sound of a single, never-ending stream of musical genius.
		Murder By Death’s set was an invigorating one that constantly built upon momentum, each musician feeling where to take the music, higher and higher until a climax was reached.
		Members of the band are almost violent in the way they perform, as if they are chained down by musical convention and need to break those chains through their sounds.

		Murder By Death went into the studio, probably with this thought; thinking of writing songs that would be possible to pull off live and still be able to be comparable to older tunes.
		The band mixes an old saloon style with rock 'n' roll that would have John Wayne taking shots of whiskey in the front row during a bar-room brawl as Murder By Death bring it back to after a criminal was gunned down in a duel outside by the sheriff.
		Murder By Death is not a band for the faint of heart or close-minded.

		Murder By Death formed in their hometown of Bloomington, IN at the end of the 90's, at first under the name Little Joe Gould.
		And thus, Murder By Death was born, a name lifted from a Neil Simon play, a murder mystery parody that also became a movie in the mid-70's.
		Murder By Death plays very well together, and their sound is a great combination of backwoods acoustic menace and straight-ahead, rockabilly leaning alt rock.

	SPIN.com: Murder by Death
		Murder by Death, the Indiana band that takes its name from the 1976 murder mystery of the same name, are more than a little preoccupied with mystery, macabre, and theatrics.
		Vocalist Adam Turla sounds like he spent a past life locked in the bowels of an ocean liner to cultivate his waterlogged baritone, which the band layers with eerie, cello-based instrumentals.
		In Bocca al Lupo may not solve any great secret as in the band's namesake murder mystery spoof, but Murder by Death are content to draw their swords and candlesticks and play along.

		Band members, clockwise from left, are Sarah Balliet, Alex Schrodt, Matt Armstrong and Adam Turla.
		The band — Schrodt, bassist Matt Armstrong, cellist Sarah Balliet and vocalist/guitarist Adam Turla — browsed the store's shelves alongside its fans before playing, and delivered a set that wouldn't have felt out of place a few doors down at Espresso Royale.
		The band's appearance at Flat, Black and Circular was one in a series of six in-store performances worked into the early dates of its summer tour, and was followed that night by a full set at The Temple Club, 500 E. Grand River Ave.

	Murder By Death: In Bocca al Lupo Aversion.com Review
		Rather than whipping the dying horse that’s the cabaret-punk format, Murder By Death juggles a dark, moody and frequently orchestral take on the style that’s as indebted to Johnny Cash and Nick Cave as gypsy caravans, Weimar-era girlie shows or a handful of Decemberists albums.
		Murder By Death strains its influences and mixes things up enough to occasionally hit on a sound with a lot of promise.
		In “Sometimes the Line Walks You,” Murder By Death doesn’t attempt to hide its country roots, delivering an alt-country number with the piss and vinegar of punk, and the cellos of “One More Notch” find a creepy-crawly neutral zone between Southern Gothic alt-country and orchestral punk.

		Most notably are the sounds that local band, Murder By Death have been making over the past couple of years.
		This band, with a rather dark name, has been putting out quality music since late 2001 but it wasn't until their feature length debut, Like the Exorcist but More Breakdancing, that they really made headwaves in the underground musical community.
		Anyone living in Ireland or England should be on the look out for these guys and the lone female cello player (who is very hot..) to hit a venue near you, seeing as they just announced a small scale European tour.

	Interview with Murder by Death
		Their second record, Who Will Survive And What Will Be Left of Them?, released in October on Eyeball Records, is a concept album that follows something like a horror movie climax in the middle of an old western with a heavy nod to the apocalypse.
		The band's members - Adam Turla (vocals), Matt Armstrong (bass), Vincent Edwards (piano), Alex Schrodt (drums) and Sarah Balliet (cello) - all met as students at the University of Indiana and put out their first album under the name Little Joe Gould about a year ago.
		Now that we've been informed that these are really, for real, our shows, we feel like it's okay if we kind of override the mood of the whole show by taking over and making it our own and going all out.

		Storytelling is very important to me as a lyricist, but it is the music itself that people hear first and identify with and it is music that is entertaining, so in that form the stories are a vehicle for the song.
		It was an opportunity to have complete creative control and also great distribution for the record so we were happy to take that course.
		The plan is to only release Murder By Death records because we are so busy with our own stuff that we wouldn't have time to handle the responsibility of helping other bands and therefore would feel guilty for not being able to do our best to help them build their careers.

		In fact, each band manages the variation so well that the split serves as an indication of the expanse of the true talent of each band.
		Murder By Death begins their part of the album with "A Masters", a somewhat slower, building song structured around a light guitar strum and keyboard melody.
		Placing the two bands side by side, rather than in individual sets, makes the album unsteady and ultimately only serves as a disservice to fans of either band.

		For In Bocca Al Lupo, released on the band’s own Tent Show records, Murder By Death delves deeper into questions of the afterlife, employing the seven layers of hell in Dante’s Inferno as its skeletal thematic scope.
		The band’s tour-toughened sound has evolved as well, incorporating odd time signatures, bustling pirate chants, early minor country, and an animated, orchestral backdrop to its dark, artsy rock, though none of it quite captures the band’s blistering live intensity.
		With grueling precision and continuing confidence, Murder By Death whips through its dramatic passages, as Turla unveils his dense, learned, and richly symbolic tales of sin, regret, pain, loss, and punishment.

		I saw murder by death in 2002 live and was blown away by their excellence.
		Here, Murder by Death continue on the same trajectory they turned towards with "Who Will Survive, And What Will Be Left Of Them" - a heavy Western Gothic theme with songs that tell a story.

		And, while unsuspecting crowds will likely assume the band to be some sort of death metal joke, the crackling urgency of its intricate and tightly wound cacophonies will stymie such postulations and easily convert new followers.
		Lyrically, Murder By Death abandons its complicated, lovelorn angst in favor of songs about whiskey and guns and, of course, the Devil himself.
		is less outwardly showy than the band’s debut in that it never really flaunts individual members’ extraordinary musical talents, but after a few listens it’s obvious that Murder By Death has learnt how to pack its punches more discreetly.

		Part of what makes the European folk influence so apparent is the fact that it’s not always disguised by massive guitar walls and screaming, but such stylized songwriting is hard to cover up anyway.
		Like most of the album, both songs are dark tales that have at least the aire of violence about them.
		Luckily, the band switches things up a bit on “Raw Deal,” which features a second half wall of shrieking guitars, rumbling bass, and pounding drums that come out of nowhere.
