A review of The 13th Round at Ink 19 magazine.

a review of The 13th Round
By Fat Asster, writing in the Crass Menagerie:
"THUG MURDER = 3 women from Japan who single-handedly kick the worlds ass! One great riff after another. Awesome ruff and tuff vocals (not any of that nice girl shit around here). This truly rocks. So lace up your Doc's and MOSH! MOSH! MOSH ! A great blend of street punk with a hint of Oi. I must stress that I don't give this band a great review because they are all female and kick ass. I am giving this disc a great review because no matter what gender the musicians are these are great tunes. The guys at TKO were very smart not to let this band slip by without signing them. I f you don't shell out the bucks for this one my friends then you've missed the boat and your drowning in my pity. HA!"

fun fact
You can buy Thug Murder records at Wal-Mart. No, really. Look.
