The Murder Weapon is a high-energy band that is sure to please. With a musical repertoire ranging from psychobilly to blues, this up-and-coming rock ensemble will astound your senses and leave you beggin' for more! Four talented musicians with over six years of experience in the performing arts have finally come together to form one crazy little band. Especially notable in The Murder Weapon's history is its triumph at a regional battle of the bands. Just weeks after playing their first show, the band bagged a first-place win at the 2004 annual Broad Bay Battle of the Bands in Waldoboro, Maine. As a result, The Murder Weapon received recording time at Big Sound Studios in Westbrook, Maine, free of charge. By February, 2005, the band had released their first album: the "Lost Souls EP".From such promising beginnings, the band quickly grew to be a crowd favorite at shows of all sizes, and they have taken the stage at venues including The Hard Rock Cafe (Boston, MA), The Alehouse (Portland, ME), The Camden Opera House (Camden, ME), and at events including the Lobster Festival (Rockland, ME) and Bumstock (University of Maine, Orono). The Murder Weapon has been heralded as a fresh and exciting sound and has been a consistent hi-energy crowd pleaser at shows of all genres. The band has been well received by fans of punk, metal, rock and reggae alike. The Bangor Daily News stated:
"The Murder Weapon's skillful, distinctive playing style, combined with its hot-rods-and-zombies aesthetic, cements it as a band apart from other groups playing in Maine."

Currently, The Murder Weapon is working on their first full-length album "Hollow Heart". The release is planned for fall, 2005.
