    Artist description
    THE MURDER CITY DEVILS' previous record was called Empty Bottles Broken Hearts. Much has been made of the bottles, but what about the heart? After all, the contents and conditions of the heart are simultaneously cause and effect of those bottles. And, in new songs like "I Drink the Wine", it's clear that the wine is not really the point. When on "Somebody Else's Baby", Spencer gets his throaty howl around "I heard or read, the only love is lost love. And if it's true then people like me and you, we get our share of love, " if that's not an admission of heartache, well, you're just not listening.Recorded by John Agnello at the end of 1999, and fleshed out with the permanent addition of Leslie Hardy on organ, The Murder City Devils' third full length, In Name and Blood, offers up an album worth ofsoul-searching and ass-shaking.Tales of love lost (or destroyed), the doomed romanticism of the road (and an innate inability to deny it's call), and suffering the slings and arrows of fate (in "Rum to Whiskey" and "Fields of Fire" in particular); all spew forth from these Devils like a snake's venom, infecting us on an elemental level. As their predecessors, Mudhoney sang, "It's in the blood." But, both the affliction and remedy, you need the poison to make the antidote.Here we are, through with the first year of a new decade, a new century,and new millennium, and what do we have? Apparently, there's a return to a fashionability of rock and roll music. Turns out, there are still kidsstaving off the inevitability of the shitty days, people and things (andlet's face it: eventually death) ahead through this raucous celebration ofthe right now. And, that's a good thing (and, no surprise, really); Rock and roll saved the lives of The Murder City Devils and they're here to return the favor.
