Background notes
Archive material and source history
Murphys Law started in New York City in 1982, part of the city's punk scene. Jimmy Gestapo sang with a gritty voice over fast guitars and drums. They put out records like 'Bongwater' in 1986 and 'The Party's Over' in 1991, and songs like 'A Day In The Life' and 'Beer' became known in hardcore circles.
Their shows were loud and sometimes confrontational, and some lyrics drew criticism. The band kept playing through various lineups that included guitarists Al Bowman and Chuck Valle, bassist Dean Rispler, and drummer Eric Arce. They released more albums into the 2000s, including 'The Black Album' in 2003.
Murphys Law didn't really fit a tidy story. They played straightforward hardcore punk, and songs like 'Care Bear' and 'Fun' had that rough, immediate sound. They kept at it for years without becoming polished or changing much to suit trends.
