The PUNCHLINE IS MURDER...

BIOGRAPHY:

Formed in Glasgow during January 2004, 'The Punchline Is Murder...' have gone through several line up changes before settling on the current five piece set-up of Alan (guitar), Ally Morrison (drums), George Allan (bass), Mark Fry (vocals) & Ric McGinty (guitar). Drawing on a wide range of metal / metalcore / hardcore influences with some more death metal parts thrown in, the band create a brutal, unique blend of metal melodies, hardcore breakdowns, blastbeat drums and gutteral vocals. "The Punchline" also pride themselves as an energetic and electrifying live band having played many shows around Scotland including gigs with bands of the caliber or Walls of Jericho, Cursed, 7 Stone Lighter and Torqamada. They made their debut at Jacks Bar, Falkirk, in April 2004. Original member Dave (bass) left soon afterwards to concentrate on his own band (STML) and was replaced by former 13 Broken Fingers member George Allan. Soon afterwards the band recorded their debut single, "20 Tons of Explosives and a Wake Up Call" at Seagate Studios in Dundee. Original guitarist Craig left not long after this, and the band continued as a four piece for a while. Towards the end of the year some tracks were played on Kerrang! Radio, and then they recorded a second EP in February 2005. A few months later original drummer Alan was replaced by Ally Morrison. This line-up recorded a third EP called "We Are Legion".
The band called it a day in December 2006.
