Big Murder Biography
It’s fair to assume a band named Big Murder is an angry gangsta death-metal rap group, with potential legal issues. Though that last part may be partly true, the rest is much more complex. Big Murder is known for their hard-driving energy rock built with addictive riffs and melodies that are both refreshing and fun. They can pack a dance floor and create an atmosphere of masterfully intricate sounds.
Guitarist and vocalist Marcus David came up with the concept for Big Murder in 2013 while touring around the Southeast. In 2015 Marcus brought in Evan Buckler on drums and Randy Hall on bass, keys, and vocals to round out the sound. The debut album, Shifting Ground, was released in July 2016. Several local shows, a couple festivals, and several appearances on 99X Atlanta radio WWWQ highlighted the following year in support of the record.
The sophomore effort, Slow Moving Planet, was released January 2018. The tracks on this record range from the gritty-in-your-face-straight-up-guitar-driven rock of Barking at the Gods to the heartfelt lyrics of If You Leave. The final track, Political Correction, “shouts out warnings like a clipping audio meter.”
After a brief hiatus in 2019, the guys reconvened to record their third record, No Small Plans, which released in June 2020. The album offers an interesting spin on human relationships. The band pens some interesting observations, all masterfully woven into their murderous grooves, that range from hard rock anthem "In My Head" to the nostalgic, angelic, dream-like feelings of "Swarm."
Big Murder has been compared to bands like Incubus, Radiohead, Rage Against the Machine, and Foo Fighters. That broad range of style stems from the band’s philosophy that music should be sonically interesting, but also touch the individual heart and soul of their listeners. When they write, there are no rules or formulas, so their songs are always unique, and never boring.
Now that the pandemic is “over,” the boys will be rocking stages around the Southeast. Check out the tour schedule, ‘cause, “Big Murder has a lot of musical weaponry with which to kill!”
