Mad, bad and dangerous to know, Murkage sound huge. Their brand of earthquake-sized electronica, coupled with socially poignant and often controversial lyrics, deftly destroys lazy categorisation. Resolutely uncompromising, the band cryptically describe their creative philosophy as 'Of Mystics And Misfits' and their sound simply as 'Murkage Music'. It is a grimy clarion call to freedom booming through underground speakerboxes worldwide. It's this high-octane onstage riot of four snarling tongues, massive live drums and a DJ, that has led critics to describe Murkage as 'probably the best live act in the country today'. After the release of their acclaimed debut EP in 2011 Murkage emerged behemoth-like from the beating heart of Manchester's nocturnal terrain, making waves throughout the past twelve months.
