Kelsey Simpkins wrote fondly of Murder Shoes Self Titled EP in her review – http://riftmagazine.com/2015/04/29/review-murder-shoes-self-titled-ep/ – and now the band has called it quits and City Pages has written an obituary for the band.

From City Pages:
And so went Murder Shoes, the drab surf-rock quintet that captured the hearts of existential dweebs in the Twin Cities across their two-year existence. Murder Shoes announced their disbanding on Facebook last Friday, and they’ll play their final gig in support of Band of Skulls at the Fine Line on Sunday. No concrete reason was given for the sudden farewell, though lead singer Tess Weinberg did state in an interview with We Love Music that things felt like “they had run their course.”

Edger’s new EP, Rudiments, is a 15-minute gem without a second of filler. The band combines garage rock with equal parts post-punk, and they pack enough hooks into each song to get them stuck in your head while also refraining from self-indulgence. [Read more…] about Review – Edger – Rudiments
