Murder Ranks
Murder Ranks was born in February of 2008. Months before Murder Ranks was actually formed Ben, Mike and Nate began playing out as Russian Bones, tinkering with some improv, fulfilling commitments that had become complicated and really just wanting to have a good time playing shows. The three of us had been in a band together throughout the 90s, Vivid Imagination, but hadn’t played with each other in years. Throughout that time we were all huge fans of the Warlock Pinchers and getting the opportunity to open for them in 1991 was a dream come true. Once the Pinchers broke-up, Ben began working with Scratchie in The Wild Canadians and both Mike and Ben had collaborated with him in The Gerds. Two years ago Scratchie gave Ben a shout wanting to do something new. We really wanted to put something together that was unfamiliar to us, to push the limits of Dub and Punk Rock, build around Scratchie’s lyrical arsenal, but most importantly to have fun. We are currently working on some recordings and plan to release an EP by September. Thanks to all for your support.
