Murder By Death- Brother

[ITsHxCTOASTER]

@LakeOfCakes you're a moron. You know Wu-Tang Clan? Nas? Madvillain? A Tribe Called Quest? What about The Beatles? The Beach Boys? The Smiths? Hip-hop and pop that's fucking incredible, shove it up your pompous ass.

[Clayapwnu]

mbd. grab your brother and sing along while swillin on whiskey!

[odinwolf6346]

It's not country! Not even close try Rockabilly! Good Shit!

[terryclukey]

I'm looking at the like bar with a look of smug satisfaction on my face.

[rincewindzi]

hits the spot every time. goosebumps guaranteed. ♥

[MsMakeupTips]

from a REAL fan- This music video is....good. Does the band no justice. You have no idea until you see them live. No words can describe the amount of amazing you will get out of one of their shows.

[JesusbDemocrat]

@MsMakeupTips definatly my friend opened for MBD in richmond VA... it was amazing

[NeonHighlights]

How bout ya'll all just shut up and listin to the music. Get the fuck over Genre, Instruments, vocals, ect. I dont wanna look down here and see comments like that. I wanna' see REAL fans. Just saying.

[mmapunx]

Wherever your at Dan, keep your fucking head up and stay out trouble. Maybe one day we'll see each other again.

[619LEGACY]

indie!



[Schloonktapooxis]

14 years have passed since that day.

Not my comment, I'm just saying.

[schmawy]

Went to a MBD show last night in Milford, CT and this is a fair representation of how it all went down.

[bobbiebob575]

This music is far too awesome for the general public. People can listen and sing along to Lady Gaga, I, on the other hand, will be quietly transported to another time and another world thanks to my mp3 player and Murder By Death.



[bonerghost]

@bobbiebob575 What's wrong with liking both? Broaden yo horizons.

[144church]

Queer by Gay

[Jackalofdeath]

interesting blend, vocals /guitar almost like johnny cash, but pop guitar + hipster cello, would be better with a violin

[alyssaxrad]

@Jackalofdeath hipster cello? what are you talking about? Cello has a much better sound than a violin.

[alyssaxrad]

@Jackalofdeath and these guys have been around longer than all this hipster bullshit.

[TenebrionDF]

Fuckin' great band.

[staphinfection]

14 years have passed..... since that day.

[np02058]

so brother.... raise another pint.

[AtarisGuy33]

Thank you Take Action Tours!

[planbmoncton]

If you are even in Eastern Canada...come to Plan b. :)

[SurgicalSid]

fucking kill me... great song but just the same fucking kill me...

[lumpofloight]

@SurgicalSid where are you?



[daveh013]

I have 4 brothers and no doubt that when push comes to shove they'd sell me out just for the hell of it, so forsake the blood theres others who'll welcome me undeniably as family.

[xbx0]

why the fuck does music like this only have 300,000 views and shit like justin bieber has 600,000,000... this is true talent no auto tune needed

[peifarmer1]

i had to check it out just to see what she was talkin about

[peifarmer1]

HAHAHA Im going to make fun of my friend that likes these guys soo much. what a shitty band.HAHAHA

[R2D2inHD]

@peifarmer1 god I hate you little trolls, your probably some 13 year old that likes rap and pop. This band actually has talent unlike every pop band and rapper. Man I hate trolls

[peifarmer1]

@R2D2inHD whatever a fuckin troll is. i just think these guys suck, but then i guess you would like them if you were a queer troll lovin fag like you

[ILikeTheThingsIDo]

@R2D2inHD People need to quit knocking on ALL rap music. What you hear on the radio is not rap, it's bullshit.

[JohnZackarias]

@ILikeTheThingsIDo Word.

[ITsHxCTOASTER]

@R2D2inHD And I hate ignorant motherfuckers like you who assume there isn't a single hip-hop artist or pop group with talent.

[LakeOfCakes]

@ITsHxCTOASTER It's no assumption.

[Zero9656]

@R2D2inHD To be fair, while most pop music today is absolute garbage, quite a few of the performers are actually talented musicians forced to play shit music by their producers/record labels.

[inskeletonsclothing]

Fuck I love this song!!!

[hiteshahuja]

thumbs up if you came here from Delhi Belly song _ Bhaag Bhaag!

[wolfboii999]

OH MY GOD HE SHAVED O.O

[TheBlindPig1]

the dance of the faires.

[bleachigo10]

this is the best bar fight in history!

[zombi717]

I wish their other music sounded like this :C

[Sketch24ws]

Who doesn't love a little murder?

[Laotisx]

this could be the song that brought back the bar-fight rock'n'roll genre. goddamn.

I'm not a big fan of their other work, but this song is utterly amazing-it captures that old-school, irrelevant, badass tone of primal rnr.

[TsukiNoShuurai]

Anyone else getting a bit of a Supernatural end-of-season-four vibe from this?

[TheNanakDev]

This is what country music should have became, not some Taylor Swift/Keith Urban bullshit.

[EmilyRed3]

@TheNanakDev I disagree. Though, yes, MBD is great, Urban has some good songs. And I wouldnt put this in the country genre, anyway. More folk and alt. rock. :D

[TheNanakDev]

@EmilyRed3 I know they aren't really considered country, but country went in a bad direction. Well, at least the country I've heard.

[bgenaral]

@TheNanakDev Amen!



[Definrox]

@TheNanakDev hombre style fucking agree with you 

[aeroclaw24]

@TheNanakDev Sorry, but this is not country... Neither is Taylor Swift, but still...

[TheNanakDev]

@aeroclaw24 exactly, shit-brains. If it was country, it wouldn't sound good.

[xxxmosh]

@TheNanakDev  yeah but that taylor switf is a hottie tho

[approachingwinter]

@TheNanakDev I'd like to think that the progenitors of the genre listen to music like this fondly and consider this their rightful heir. And not the shit that is currently passed off as "Country".

[SergeyPRKL]

@TheNanakDev strange is that they sound so... european.

[strwbrryjacuzzi]

seeing these guys tomorrow!  so stoked!

[Skarotum]

@strwbrryjacuzzi I'm guessing that you're going to be at the Middle East tomorrow night. If so, it should be a good show. Good times!!

[WarehouseRepublic]

Are you The Libertines? No. Did you hear they split up years ago and were pretty rubbish anyway. Good luck being a tribute act.

[vacuber]

We are super stoked to have Murder by Death at Visual Arts Collective tonight!!

[Fulldre]

its really cool being like, an hour away from their home town.

[osuwarudo15]

I love it! The cello, the johnny cash aura, the greatness of it all!

[edrok617]

My brother is a very serious subject, careful when you bring him up in a negative tone near me. I love my older brother! " I know there's better brothers, but you're the only one that's mine"

[pcquad]

reminds a bit on Mando diao down in the past, no?

[BlackChiWhite]

:) great band

[SoundofMadness15]

my friend joe is in this video. hes the one in the wife beater! haha

[dasparke]

@SoundofMadness15 the guy in the wife beater's name is Justin. just sayin.

[melliott1313]

hey im desperately looking for they only come out at night by this band can some one post

[geepbee]

@squeakyfromme69 Drink till you fall and bash your silly head on a curb.

[squeakyfromme69]

@geepbee no. actually they were really good. what a great band! i feel silly now

[TmasterREY]

@squeakyfromme69 stop fighting. listen to beautiful music.

[geepbee]

@squeakyfromme69 You are correct, it was wrong of me to wish pain on anyone, tongue in cheek or not. Apologies. At 38 yrs old, trendy and me are miles apart. I just happen to dig this band. By the way , did it suck as bad as you hoped it would?

[squeakyfromme69]

@geepbee they were actually really good. sorry for being such a troll. i needed to chill and drink a soda or something. yeesh. my bad!! i removed my dumb comments so people don't have to look at them.

[geepbee]

@squeakyfromme69 Im glad you enjoyed the show. I checked out your channel (i dig it by the way) and see why you didnt like this. You appear to be like a friend of mine who enjoys highly technical guitarwork. I on the other hand am a simpleton. if you have a free minute check out psychodavee.

[squeakyfromme69]

@geepbee yeah, thanks dude. i'll check it out. sorry again about all that rude talk. hope it didn't bug ya too much. cheers!

[geepbee]

@squeakyfromme69 No problem, it didnt bother me even a little. All is well.

[tinabeaner004]

my sister used to play this all the time. for some reason i just thought of it during math today. so here i am. and i still love it. :)

[fut3ch]

I saw them on new years in Lawrence Kansas and they rocked the house they are an amazing band and have real talent and I think that if people hate their music they should keep it to themselves and shut the fuck up.

[pridehernandez]

im surprised that voice comes from that guy.... first time looking into this band and wow... shocking....

[supernerbil]

FUCKING Toyoda ads.  Makes me wanna buy a Ford.

[caramoore8]

@Fake Problems Midwest Tour 2011 yess!!!!!

[Schloonktapooxis]

murder by death is one of the best bands ever. no labels, no genres needed here. this band is good sound and has tons of talent.

[Jabberwocky010]

@Schloonktapooxis Like CAKE, both bands don't really fit into any genre, true Alternative groups.

[itsmyisliand]

@Schloonktapooxis their signed to vagrant

[itsmyisliand]

@Schloonktapooxis no disrespect i mean btw

[seandawg03]

love this song... love MBD. Get the new album you'll love it. Actually do yourself a favor and get them all. Fantastic band. Nothing out there like it (don't say cursive either).

Video is kinda stupid. Song is a narrative about brothers. I know half their songs are about boozin and fighting in bars but this isn't one. But anything with Ms. Balliet can't be too bad i guess.

If you like this check out 52' Ford and Foxglove by them as well.

[helilienthal]

This is straight up fucking vaudeville.

[kwogmo]

my bro showed me this song some years ago and i was like wow when did they write a song about you 

[11Hollybear]

I love you guys!!!!! your amazing live!!! cant wait to see you again someday!!! this is my song to you brother!!!

[Danihost07]

I love the ending of the song, with just the voice and the guitar strumming

[mids13]

i love his voice. it brings out the old kind of rock out like johny cash. im glad i found them by accident :)

[curbsideprophetlz]

my opinion of the band is high, but why do I feel as though they could only benefit from adding a flautist?

[agirlcallede]

@curbsideprophetlz

...I just thought about how amazing that would be

[fatgoogle]

Just heard this group. Bloody amazing is all i can say. I may find my double bass :D and try some of her chello work out on it.

[iquandty]

sweet. go lefties!

[jackalope616]

my twin and i sing this to eachother. hahaha, although we're both 'brothers' to eachother, we are very much so partners in crime.

"They can knock all of my doors down but i won't say a word."

[Hitlo58]

:50 IS That a baldwin brother?

[sk8npirate]

@Hitlo58 lol it looks like the one from bio-dome

[Hitlo58]

i first heard these guys on the radio (in utah, no shit) it was one of those late night random "listen to these guys you never heard of" segments. i was lucky i had a pen handy or i would have forgoten their name.

Oh and the song was ball and chain... adams deep voice and sarahs cello got me hooked. now they're my favorite band.

[Hitlo58]

@FreedSpider i only wish that they would wander out west.. to maybe utah. pfft that will never happen.

[OrsoIclaim]

I like this band enough, just based on the merit of it's name.

[spites1]

sux ass

[backoffpunk95]

this s a pretty amazing song. finding it led to my interest in a whole new gnre of music fr me. thank you murder b death. just what i've been lookin for.

[kynasboytoy]

@backoffpunk95 Me Too.....Heard this song on the ISU college radio station.... love it....

[oathkept]

i just saw them play the other day with buried beds and mewithoutyou and they were incredible <3333 the cellist was amazzzingggg ughhh! they all were

[Fulldre]

who cares if they aren't popular. music is about listening to whatever you want last i checked. you actually WANT people with no taste in music to be graced by someone with talent?

[electrickpunk]

they are playing iowa city soon

[vivicastar]

best band in existence....these guys are amazing

[MrNothingspacial]

i get tears from this song, reminds me of my fucking brother

[BrotherBadSeed]

This is the single greatest song written in the past five years. I 've seen them six times, goin' for the seventh in a couple weeks. They blow my mind everytime and it's loads of fun. If anybody's goin' to the Iowa City show, I'll share my flask with ya'.

[talkalotbav]

guys in suits that cna sing and play classical instuments are SEXY as hell

[BBicalla]

sara everyone love youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

greatest band

[digamepeter]

Saturday night in Lloseta

[MrProfessornutbutter]

man,this is catchy and that cello playing girlie is a hottie!

[tryfailtry22]

The Red Western. Will pick up where they left off

[beberebozo]

Amazing video for an amazing song!

[ugzz]

i wish they would put the non stop-motion version of this up.

i mean its all over the web anyway, why cant it be on youtube? lame..

[Dextear]

@ugzz I don't think it's "stop-motion"; it's intentionally of a lower quality, to aid people in the decision of whether or not to buy the "proper" video.

[ugzz]

@Dextear

maybe, but i can't wrap my head around "paying" for music videos. I just don't see that taking off. the point of a music video is advertising for the song, which equals advertising for the album. I would never pay for a video, which have been freely shown since 1981. it was on the MBD main .com forever too, but now its switched to this one :P

[missjanicesue]

they were so great in Iowa City.

[Wayavas1337]

well this song makes me remember the time when i used to work at a bar, they describe all the trip pretty good and its obvious they have been there too, the music is ok the lyrics are better and the video is awesome

[blackisntdarkenough]

They're amazing live! Too bad the concert I went to was full of lame hipsters who don't know how to dance.

[emmascremma710]

Hey Joe S. it is as if this song is about you and your brothers, it is a shame what you did to L.S. and Eva.......God is keeping score! Your day will come too.

[KierstenAvery]

this song is amazing. it's so... dance along to-able.

[XxPrincessEllexX92]

I love this video but my sister hates it because she thinks its annoying But I am going to see them on the 12th because this video proves theyre hardcore!!!

[ZombieAutopilot0]

I love how first generation Rock these guys are. Like back when country and blues were just growing into rock. This video just adds to all that.

[Jolana25]

I saw these guys live, I love them, I love them, did I say Ilove them, no one can even compare!

[crystalt009]

one of my favorites. mbd puts on one of the greatest shows i think ive ever seen!!!!!!!!

[TheDrBriggs]

I never noticed that Adam was a lefty, until SeanP87 mentioned it. I promptly tried to play Brother lefthanded and couldn't do it. I love MBD.

[SmackAnAlex]

I saw them play with Thursday it was an awesome set, and that was back in 03 or 04. Fuckin Brutal.

[pdecker79]

if they did it in a more dark verison this song would b such a hit

[pinscherdude]

See it live, it's awesome

[envoy3]

That girl who rocks the cello looks classy as hell.

[gumballflip]

wow. i always imagined the singer to be a lot larger. hes got a pretty burly voice

[toolaek]

HELLO GUYS !!!athens greece here!!!cheers!!

[ifshaftis8]

@toolaek hey athens whats up?

[Hitlo58]

I have this album, Fuckin amazing. boy dicide and brother are my favorites

[sithwalrus]

I only found out about this band today, but they are amazing! funky songs, a cello, a bunch of songs named after B movies, an awesome singer, and i have never heard another band quite like them.

This makes me glad to play cello again. :)

[vivpas]

Hey there from Thessaloniki,Greece!!Waiting for you to be back soon!!!

[tsipouropower]

Greetings from Larissa, Greece!

[IMtheONEwhoLEFT]

@beenz123456789

your mom listens to this.. you just called your mom a fag

[robyrob78]

tragedy is the great unifier

[wambambodyslam]

What!? somebody wants weiners in his butt! you fuck

[franksaninocencio]

Real clever, hope you came up with that one on your own.

[littlesmudge8743]

nah, sounds a bit like the singer of Joy Division, just a lot less warbly...

ps, great song and start all this keyboard bullshit on me because i have an opinion

[littlesmudge8743]

meant to put 'dont start all this bullshit...'

youtube used to be fun now everyone is so angry!

regardless of this its an awsome song, i was trying to find a video of my friend being a nightgoblin but this is a better waste of my time

[Hawdkoah]

Amazing song, disappointing video. Whenever I hear this, there's imagery of cars speeding off in the night and bar fights. I suppose everyone has their own visual though.

[Thunderholt2]

Yeah, dude, I NEVER watch the video if it's the first time I've heard a song. The images get stuck in your mind and it's hard to have your own ideas about it.

[geepbee]

that is exactly how television ruined imagination

[outback23]

for some reason his voice kinda reminds me of johnny cash. awesome song.

[niktoxic]

Oh, I know, he reminds me of Cash, too.

His voice is husky like his.

Great tune.

[Sithagarithaga]

@niktoxic, listen to shiola, or ball and chain, he gets deeper in those songs, and when i first heard shiola i thought he was cash. I love it.

[tamponbreath]

we Named our daughter after that song

[fuergutemusik]

@tamponbreath so she's called brother. cool.

[DriveByTrucker88]

@Sithagarithaga he has such a familiar voice, like mix between cash and jim morrison.

[Hitlo58]

Johnny was one of the lead singers idles

[rossifer001]

just saw them with gaslight anthem yesterday...so good

[sk8ingis4fags]

Yeah I was there too. It was the greatest show I've ever seen. Except for the first band, The Measure. They were fucking awful.

[estuben87]

This describes my brothers and me perfectly. Weird how i just read and paid attention to they lyrics. He'll be off to the pen in a month. :(

[StormyOktober]

When my sister was in prison I wrote down the lyrics and mailed them to her.

When she got out, we listened to it in the car.

There were tears!

Goodluck to you and your brother.

write to him <3

[JUN34U]

lol

[estuben87]

yeah thats something to laugh at? so youre not worthless?

[crayZsaaron]

Wow, what a douche.

Anyway, yeah... that really sucks a lot.

[AtomiCMagEntA]

LOVE.

[SeanP87]

I spent a couple of hours drawing a picture of MbD playing a show in my apartment, when I was done I realized that I had drawn Adam as a right-handed guitarist. Dammit.

[stallmeister]

Hehe shit happens :D

[iowcatalyst]

this is great, love it

[FlamingMaplewood]

I'm glad that they're still underground. I nearly cried when I missed their show due to a lame bus schedule. Like The Exorcist and In Bocca Al Lupo are their greatest albums, in my opinion.
