What Is the Name of Your Band?
We are McMurdo Sound Agreement
What Is the genre of music you play?
We play hard rock/ stoner metal. Inspired by the stoner metal scene of the early 00s, we take the influences of band like Clutch, Fu Manchu and Unida and use them to forge our own identity. We love blending super heavy riffs with cool melodies and weird chord progressions.
Can you give a brief history of the band of how it came together and where it is today?
Sean (Guitar) and Lindsey (Drums) have been playing together in bands across the Northeast of England since 2010. The idea with McMurdo was that we wanted to really focus on creating concept albums with a cool overarching narrative, which we tell through the lyrics and artwork. We gig around the region but we’re predominately a studio-based outfit and we’ve just released our first album Second Spine.
What can people expect from your music?
We wanted to create a sound that wouldn’t feel out of place on a Small Stone records compilation from the 2000s, and I think we succeeded. Super heavy fuzziness balanced with strong melody and massive choruses.
What is the best release that folks should check out from your band?
Our new album Second Spine came out a couple of weeks ago, and we’re super proud of it. We self-produced and released this, it really has been a labour of love.
