MURPHYS- The
Warrior’s Code (Epitaph)
If there was an award given to the first song of a CD that best defines
the rest of the CD while kicking the snot out of you, it would go to cut
one of The Warrior’s Code; “Your Spirit’s Alive.” While hard as
hell hitting, the message is a combination of sorrow while not allowing
that sorrow to bring down memories of a fallen friend. This tone radiates
throughout this release; hard hitting Celtic punk with a message of
awareness, both social and personal, while remaining fun as heckers.
“Captain Kelly’s Kitchen” and “I’m Shipping up to
Boston
” scream the acclaimed salty DKM sound, but “
Sunshine Highway
” is a tad too Partridge Family sounding for me. If you’re aching for
some real fast action, check out “Citizen CIA.” Although I take major
umbrage with one of its lines, “The Green Fields of France” (written
by Eric Bogle) will surely tug at your heart regardless of how you feel
about war. Another fine release by these fine Boston Lads, would you
expect anything less? – Denis Sheehan
