The Punk Site 2021 Top 20: Mark Murphy And The Meds – On The Brink

Sitting pretty at number 18 in The Punk Site‘s festive countdown of the best releases from 2021 is Mark Murphy and The Meds, the latest project from Liverpool, UK singer / songwriter Mark Murphy who is best known for bands such as Crocodile God, Hey Maxine and The No Marks. His latest venture was written and recorded by himself at home during lockdown, however Mark will be hitting the road in 2022 and will be performing the songs from On The Brink live with a full band.

“You know when you’ve heard an album that just doesn’t mess around, it gets on with what it should, its says what it needs to say and then finishes, well this write up is one of them same moments, no point in dragging the hell out of something that doesn’t need to be stretched over that getting boring line. Suffice to say, this album is short and sweet, with the emphasis on both, a pleasure to hear something that stops when it done what it needs to do. Fast classic punk, along the lines of Cyanide Pills and Ramones” (Mark Cartwright, November 2021)

On The Brink is now available via digital platforms and on CD, vinyl and as a name your price download via Horn & Hoof Records
