Our new album The Other Shore is out today! We've never received such positive feedback so quickly from fans for any of our records. Thank you so much for your support. If you haven't already, pick up your copy pretty much everywhere music is available. Thank you. See you on tour
Just singing in the dogs face "I've been kissed by a dog on the nose" to the tune of Seal's Kiss From a Rose for the whole day how is your pandemic going
20 years since Who Will Survive and What Will Be left Of Them was released. That day we played a tiny college show in Illinois to about 50 people. Here's a pic from 2003, the year I got my first cell phone. If they look super low-res, it's cause 2003😂. Thanks all, Ever grateful
Just got home from tour and while conferencing with our manager I got so excited about all the stuff that we are doing in the next year or so. Stay tuned for some really rad stuff!

Thrilled to announce we will be touring Australia for the first time, and with the incredible Laura Jane Grace! Tix on-sale on Thurs. We are also doing shows in Santa Ana on Jun 7 w/ Jonny Fritz and Pappy & Harriet's on Jun 8 w/ Laura Jane Grace. Tix for those 2 on-sale Fri!
I made a video about our bad dog who is apparently a skater. We filmed him every day for two weeks when he'd get so psyched about seeing a neighbor's dog that he'd do ollies off the curb. Sound on!
Also Dagan has a whole album of dog songs coming about his pupper Franky
Using spotify to listen to old murder by death songs and practicing for the upcoming tour, and all the sudden end of the line gets cut off for Whitney Houston's how will I know and I am not upset about it

Merry Christmas. Some of you had kids waking you up early, but we had this guy just as excited about going outside for a walk in 12°. So grateful for all the support this year, and proud to be a part of your Christmas traditions. See you next year.
Just recorded two more songs about RoboCop (my dog) on my phone, sent them to Dagan and David to play on. I said to David "Do something that sounds like what Bill Murray plays on the piano in the movie Groundhog's Day"
Just finished dropping off over 5000 packages from this holiday push. Still packing orders as they keep coming in! THANK YOU! 🎄
My body feels like my eyes express in this pic!
just dropped off over 300 packages at the post office. Thanks to everyone who has been purchasing stuff from our webstore. It has been the craziest week and we are scrambling every waking hour to try to do damage control for our tour schedule & restaurant. Thanks for looking out
Went from singing incredibly low Leonard Cohen vocals straight into Iron Maiden for these Kickstarter covers we are working on tonight. VERY DIFFERENT. But oddly, Cohen's lyrics were more metal.
Welp, Sarah and I loaded up all these orders into a 25' box truck and dropped 'em off
THANK YOU for supporting this release. We're doing this one completely on our own & your support has been incredible
Thank you to USPS
Cannot wait for you to hear this album. Extremely proud
Thanks folks for including us in your best of 2018 year-end lists. Also a wild stat from Spotify: we are the most listened to artist for over 2,700 of you. We love and appreciate you
Spell/Bound is out TODAY!!!!!
THANK YOU for the incredible response - we've never received so much positive feedback so quickly for a new album! If you haven't gotten a copy yet, head to your local indie store or listen at:
THANK YOU!
To the dude who was in the elevator with me when my dog RoboCop pooped on the elevator floor: he is feeling much better now. Also we cleaned it up. Also also we tipped the cleaning staff just in case
Spent last nine days in the studio recording kickstarter covers. I tried SO HARD to just be ok singing Iron Maiden in my own voice. And then I deleted that take and went full Bruce Dickinson and now my throat hurts.

Obvious musical influence for MBD, but he also really mattered to me as a role model, I'm first-gen Italian American (my mom's side).

Covid-19 update. March shows postponed due to the outbreak, tickets will be honored. Hope to know more about May shows soon. Life has never felt more like a Murder By Death lyric. Event sizes are being restricted /…
Thank you.
It was a bit scary when we decided to self-release this album - but you all stepped the heck up and showed us that betting on ourselves was not foolhardy.

Murder By Death - In Bocca al Lupo (2006) Happy 15TH Anniversary to one of my all time favs. This reissue has an insane gatefold that folds out 7 times. Too thick for my regular ol’ record stand. A great concept album that’s solid awesomeness from beginning to end.
@murderbydeath
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!! 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️
Sarah and I will be performing some songs acoustic for you in about two weeks as a bit of a thank you. It is free at 8pm Eastern on Friday, May 29th

- Toured together in 2005 & 2006 - they always blew my socks off, can't believe it's been this long since we shared the stage.
Thanks Lancaster, PA. Crazy but true, during the 2nd song of the set I came down w/ what our merch person had, & had hot sweats & chills for the whole set, trying to it hold down. Walked off stage and filled a trash can. Managed to get it all in the can, but sorry venue dudes
Found two more boxes of the hardcover MBD comic, so with the band in town this weekend we are signing all the remaining copies and sending 'em out asap. Get one at
Oops first one of these I posted here, kinda forgot about Twitter 🤣. Year 10, Night 4 of 5. Show

Question: In the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles song, it says that Michelangelo is cool but rude. I obviously know that he's cool, but I can't seem to remember him being particularly rude. Anybody know more about this subject without me having to do a complete research study?
