Justin Borucki / C.R. - 1705
When C.R. decided to do a booklet with the John Lisa LP we recruited our friend Justin Borucki to take some original photos for us. One photo was of a house on Richmond Road.. # 1705. If I remember correctly, Justin took the bus to get the photo(**EDIT: He Rode His Bike***). When he was taking said photo, someone SHOT at him with a BB gun or something to that effect. That's my story.

Big Water Dogs
Here is the 2 volume 2 hour plus set of "Big Water Dogs" songs, featuring the songs and music of Dave Sellitto, and his band Chris Miser (of Serpico), Jason Carter (Sheer Terror/Sangwich), Mike Russo, and appearances by Mike Dossantos (Apache Beat/Barnyard Boys/The Realistic's, and Mike Skinner (Kevin Devine). Jason, Mike and Chris also have original songs throughout.
Dave's songs are a strange lofi blend, kinda like Bob Dylan meets Slayer anthems, majestic and shitty all at once. Spectacular drums by Miser holding it all down. Recorded on 4 track tape back in the mid 90's by Mike Russo, mixed by Alex Armitage and Ron Hill.
Dave would go on to be lead guitar player for Joey Semz, and these recordings inspired Joey immensely.

The Ghost Armada was formed by members of MURDOCK after Elway moved to Richmond VA. We had a studio room and the drive to play music. We just wanted to do something a bit different from what we had been doing. We grabbed Barrett (victims of a drive by) on Bass, McCann jumped on drums and we were off. Dave Witte(Munciple Waste, Human Remains) told us we sounded like AC/DC on Meth...We were OK with that.

Cable Car Theory. . .Nakama video and short musing
The video for this song was put together by Mike Fuentes, one of those guys who, for the life of me, I cant understand how we came to be traveling companions on the road of life; but shit am I glad we are. He toured with CCT when we did a few days with Zegota and Brian from Catharsis did spoken word on this tour (Days of War, Nights of Love just came out and this was the tour to promote it). There were many good times, and a photo of me with a 64 ounce soda and a bag of doritos still exists somewhere from this tour. The tour was a good way to define the song. Joey Cingrana had just joined the band prior to the record release for The Deconstruction, and that was huge as he was an old friend whom, despite time and distance, will always be one of the most important people in my life for many reasons. In any case the song was written about friendship, in the spirit of Phallacy's anthem, but particularly about how important my firendship with Todd Currier is, was, and always will be. This band taught me many things. . .about myself, about life, about acting on all these lofty ideas this kind of music presents us with. . .but the most important thing I learned was how quickly the line between friends and family gets blurred and how strong we are because of it. . .Yeah I had some whiskey after my daughter went to sleep tonight but the sentiment still lives in me. So - for Brian Galvin, Buddy Galvin, Mike Fuentes, Keith Parascondolla, Peter and Nicholas Carlucci, Sean McCann, D Rock Moore, Sharon Stein, Benny Horowitz, Nicholas Gambacorta, Sean Mallinson, Marcel Schultz, Yvonne Zirra, Todd Currier, Brigette Francis and all who sweat it out in one shitty van or another with us here's Mike's video.
Finally....
I finally activated my account here..... Thanks Ron for the invite. Thanks Anthony for making a bunch of old grumps get back together. I can't wait till next week to look through this. I am going to be packing my computer tonight for my move monday..... wish me luck!!
SSSP - For Life Alternate Mix
I was never really happy with the guitars on "For Life" so one winter while home sick from work for a few days I re recorded them. Then my recording thing crashed and I lost files and decided to be done with that project. Here is what was salvaged:
MEANSTREAK - 2005 Demo
When Kill Your Idols toured California in 2005, I was christened with the nickname Meanstreak because of my good nature and mild manner of course.... I spent a couple of hours alone in the rehearsal room one night after that tour and here is what happened.
The song titles are
The Swedish Speak English to the Polish
Seven Seven One
Playing Fifty Two Pickup With an Australian Pedophile's Teeth
CATTLEPRESS: Showered in the Love of the Abhorer EP
Ed Ortiz and Co. killed it with this release. A hybrid style of crust punk and sludge swimming in a sonic cacophony of white noise. A masterpiece of the genre.
UNBRIDLED ENERGY "Mixed Signals"
Unbridled Energy was pre-ENRAGE. This was the first original song the band wrote... not sure what we were going for here as it's all over the place but it's still an interesting documentation of what was soon to come, as you will hear some familiar stuff in there I'm sure. This was from a rehearsal at Soundcraft Studios on Bradley Avenue.
LAST LAUGH - 1990 Demo
Last Laugh was my first real band. Real in as much as we rehearsed regularly, did recordings, and played shows. The band started in 3rd period lunch in 1987 at Wagner High School by a bunch of StraightEdge kids and Ended in 1990. I was the only original member by that time, although the final lineup of Mara, Anthony, Charlie and myself was consistent for the last 2 years of the band. We recorded this at Redline studios onto adat tapes... they were like betamax tapes.. bizarre... Well, here is the last recording we did...

blood.stone.burn. recording session
We recorded 3 songs at TJs Mother's house for an ep that was supposed to be on Tragic Life Records but never came out. These songs are not mixed, and in track 2 there is even some scratch guitar coming through towards the end. The intro is Adam Mazy's little sister... she's probably almost 30 now... but anyway, she wanted to be on our record so we let her sing a song. I couldn't remember the names of these songs.. but thanks to Andrew Zito here they are... Track 1 is "Separate" Track 2 is called "Find The Sun" and Track 3 is "Galveston" featuring good old John Lisa... track 4 was live at the wave and has a live version of "Separate" into a song called "Pulley"... This band was a lot of fun for the few months we existed.

Stapes Is Dead 1994 (2012 Remaster+Bonus)
Here is Stapes is Dead, from 1994. Remastered by Ron Hill in 2012. Not for the faint! Featuring the appearances of 1994 line up of Muddfoot thru out!
Garrison. . .an E history. . sort of
Garrison was an experiment from day one that was plagued by my mental instability. The music was a result of my near obsession with Dag Nasty and my new found love for bands like Falling Foward and Guilt. Anthony Pernice was probably on par with the best players ever in terms of his ability to play and I had a handful of songs I wanted to see the light of day. . .put us together in a room in his parents basement with too much soda, many records (cd's there really), and not enough video games and these things happened. John Lisa and Rob Marinelli were huge in helping us settle down and focus a little in terms of songwriting, and as I didnt think technical playing ability was all that important at this point, when Jay Fergusson joined the band it was probably a sigh of relief for Rob (who always was on me to get tighter as a player) as Jay was a timing machine as a guitar player. Im sure that Joey Martin playing in 26 bands at the time didnt help but the demise of this project was on me. . .I shit the bed with these guys but was fortunately able to reconcile with them at the first Phallacy re-union. Garrison - 1995 to 1997. I have fuuny stories, will post in a "funny tour story" blog

43 MURDOCK Tracks (updated Discography)
Updated MURDOCK Discography. Thanks to this page I've been able to go back and really listen to my own band something that i have neglected to do in some time now. Point is that i am very proud of the work as a whole and the growth we showed. Ray Reres, Robert Marinelli, Samuel Peralta, Sean McCann, Gregory "Elway" Ernst, Bryan Wagner, and Frank Stapes shared some great times and wonderful memo...ries. We pissed off alot of people and each other at times. Staten Island folk for the more part did not like us at all, but we played what we wanted to play. Always the first band to show up and the last band to leave we got known as "The Murdock Fraternity" every city we showed up in we rolled with our own fun. Some of us have grown apart and i hope everyone who shared in this band can look back with the fondness that i have. Our own Gang, Our own Frat, OUR OWN NOISE!
Turbo Chicken Head: No Introduction Necessary
http://www.divshare.com/download/16039575-efd
...well an introduction might be necessary. Turbo Chicken Head was a band created by DJ Robot Monster, myself, and Alex Armitage in the late 1980's early 90's, we primarily recorded weird triphop on my 4 track!
DJ Robot Monster got the name when he used to drive home from collage. There was a graffitied up overpass in Pennsylvania, on one column it said "Chickenhead" and the next one it said "Tubro".
Ownership of the name went with DJ Robot Monster, when he joined forces with "The Freak MC's", the band over time consisting of Jason "Johnny Favorite" Carter, Scotty Stapes, Nick Purpura, Chris Miser, David Platt, Mike Dosantos, Mike Russo, Mike Runner, and Ron Hill. I believe all in all, they played 3 or 4 shows in 1992/93.
