=PRESS QUOTES about NEANDERTHAL=

"One of today’s most electrifying players, master of heaviosity - Mick Murphy mutates his love for 70's hard rock and 80's punk into a modern goulash of gargantuan, Sabbath approved riffing."
-Michael Molenda-Editor in Chief / GUITAR PLAYER MAGAZINE
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
3.Mick Murphy - My Ruin, Chevy Metal
"This talented, multi - instrumentalist and songwriter, for the LA based rock/metal band My Ruin (featuring Murphy's wife of a decade, Tairrie B) is a guitar virtuoso that is one of LA's best-kept secrets in terms of shredders. He is not afraid about being in a now guitar centric rock band, with fuzzy distorted rhythms and riffs as thick as his sideburns. Murphy's talent with a guitar is evident once you seem him live, in often-cathartic performances. His influences are worn on his sleeve and often shirt, and consist of everything from punk, classic rock, hard rock and stoner metal. Murphy's true talent can be heard and seen in My Ruin, where his approach has added more of a old school rock based, doomy, classic metal sound to Mrs. Murphy's lyrics. In a 2009 article, Guitar Player Magazine wrote that Murphy is "One of the most ferocious and creative hard rock guitarists you'll ever hear underground, above ground or bouncing off satellites." Aside from being a song writer and the guitarist of My Ruin, Murphy also lends his guitar playing abilities to the 70s hard rock/metal cover band, Chevy Metal, featuring Taylor Hawkins of the Foo Fighters. "
– Alex Distefano | OC WEEKLY Top 10 Metal Guitarists 2013
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
“Each song is a brutal slab of finely crafted mayhem, featuring stellar guitar work from Mick Murphy.”
-Brett Callwood / METAL EDGE MAGAZINE
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
“Mick Murphy is one of the most muscular riff forgers alive.”
-Greg Burke / LA WEEKLY
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
"There are elements of thrash and old school metal at the core, with a hint of bluesy stoner vibe mixed in. There’s raw and dirty Southern fried solo work from Mick Murphy skillfully restrained and never resorting to fret—wank frippery; in between, harmonic pinches and lead flourishes add movement and dynamics to the My Ruin sonic juggernaut, one man easily fills the space that two lesser guitarists might cover between them."
-Paul Graham Raven / THE DREADED PRESS
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
“Mick Murphy is definitely his own man on stage and quickly makes his unique presence known from the start. Murphy shreds and rips his way through the set leaving the crowd in awe and well deserving of those three words written on the shirt I purchased at the bands merch booth after the show with his likeness—Master of Heaviosity.”
-Nell Mallard / HOT PRESS MAGAZINE
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
“The guy that Guitar Player called ‘one of rocks most under-rated guitarists’, Mick Murphy through the entire set, rummaging through his impressive set of chops and solos to create a tapestry of sonic fury. Like a painter that utilizes various brushstrokes to achieve his vision. Murphy cranks out one riff after another going from wah drench heaviness to nimble hummingbird fast solos.”
-Morley Seaver / BELLA ONLINE
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
“There’s an interesting new tone, a tremendous solo, or a different groove everywhere you turn. Album littered with bitchin’ riffs, heavy tones and blazing solos.”
-Matt Blackett / GUITAR PLAYER MAGAZINE
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
“Mr Murphy is one heck of a mutha of a player. This isn't just case of bored guitar syndrome, with Joe Guitarist looking for an excuse to solo. But speaking of solos, Murph can do that with little problem he tries to burn his fingerprints off with some laser beam shredding"
-Morley Seaver / ANTI MUSIC
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
“One of the most ferocious and creative hard rock guitarists you’ll hear underground, above ground or bouncing off satellites.”
-Michael Molenda - Editor in Chief /GUITAR PLAYER MAGAZINE
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
‘Mick Murphy plays virtuoso guitar like he is fondling a lovely lady.”
-Gemma Freeman / METAL HAMMER MAGAZINE
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
“Hot Randy Rhoads style guitar work.”
FHM MAGAZINE
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
“Seek out Murphy and beg him for a copy of his self-produced Neanderthal CD. The instrumental project is a jaw dropping collection of supersonic solos, colossal rhythm punctuations and fat ass licks. Trust me, if you name-check Murphy to your buddies, you’ll get all the cheese you deserve for turning them on to this emerging guitar hero.”
-Michael Molenda – Editor in Chief /GUITAR PLAYER MAGAZINE
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
“Mick Murphy churns out the fuzz-laced sound like a young Iommi.”
-Joshua Sindell / KERRANG MAGAZINE
