The Murder Capital will perform at Bergenfest, Friday 13th of june 2025!
Following the success of their first two albums, the Irish post-punk band The Murder Capital returns with "Blindness", an energetic and ambitious album that captures the band's raw intensity in its purest form. Formed in Dublin, the band now has members spread across Ireland, London, and Europe, a geographical shift that has given their music a new perspective. Set for release on February 21, "Blindness" is driven by spontaneity, intensity, and a raw live energy, recorded in Los Angeles with Grammy-winning producer John Congleton.
Alongside Fontaines D.C., The Murder Capital has been at the forefront of the new wave of Irish post-punk, but "Blindness" marks a turning point. The band moves beyond the post-punk label into a broader, more exploratory rock sound. In recent years, they have cemented their reputation as one of the most intense live bands of their generation, a fact they proved when supporting Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds on tour. Now, they bring that experience to Bergenfest, ready to deliver their most vital and dynamic material yet.
