Mark Murphy & The Meds - Indiana Jones And You

 

  Liverpudlian Mark Murphy (who you'll possibly know from his time in the likes of Crocodile God, The No Marks, Hey Maxine etc...) and his band The Meds (https://www.facebook.com/markmurphyandthemeds) will be bringing 2023 in in style with the release of a new album titled Monochrome. It'll be available on January 20th from a number of cool labels; Brassneck, Bloated Kat, Cat's Claw, Kezzy P & Waterslide. 

  It'll be their 2nd full length following on from 2021's On The Brink  https://markmurphyandthemeds.bandcamp.com/album/on-the-brink

  I feel pretty confident in predicting Mark's modus, operandi which has served him well down the years, won't have changed much (he reminds me of an English J Prozac). No doubt the 10 tracks will be infectious pop punk gems of the sort he seemingly turns out in his sleep. You can pre order the ltd edition smokey clear vinyl version here :  https://brassneckrecords.bigcartel.com/product/mark-murphy-the-meds-monochrome-lp

  We've been treated to the first single from the album, happily it's exactly what we were expecting. A catchy as hell earworm, this is Indiana Jones And You...

Mark Murphy And The Meds - Alone Again Nor

  

  Mark Murphy returns to Just Some Punk Songs today with his new band Mark Murphy And The Meds (https://markmurphyandthemeds.bandcamp.com/releases). If his name doesn't ring a bell it should. The Liverpudlian guitarist/vocalist has graced a number of great bands including Crocodile God (https://crocodilegod1.bandcamp.com/), The No Marks (https://thenomarks1.bandcamp.com/) and Hey Maxine (https://heymaxine.bandcamp.com/releases). 

  Backed by a bunch of close acquaintances he's back with more top notch melodic punk rock in the form of the song you'll find below. If you like it (and you will) you won't have to wait long for more as a 10 track debut album has been recorded and is being mixed as I type. There's a few labels interested in releasing it so keep your eyes open. https://markmurphyandthemeds.bandcamp.com/releases 

  A jaunty little introduction to a band that I have high hopes for, this is Alone Again Nor... 

We’re at the stages of emotional lines and all the far-fetched avenues
And turning pages in the whole way of life in different stories I can choose
And it’s only yesterday
I’m sick of all the feelings that you’re gonna throw my way and I hope,
That it’s only yesterday.
I’m lying on the ceiling looking down on my whole face and

And I’ve been thinking of the usual time and when I found myself with you
The social drinking was the end of the line but still I found my thoughts with you
