Murder of Crows

I draw from the shadows — from the cracks where truth hides. My music’s always been medicine, and sharing it showed me I’m not the only one who needs the dark to heal. There’s a whole community out here — kindred spirits who don’t flinch at the truth. Together, we don’t chase perfection. We celebrate what’s real.

This isn’t a club. It’s a gathering of the ones who refuse to look away.

We speak our minds. We break our patterns. We remember that beauty lives in the flaws.

You’ll also get a 20% discount and first access to Murder-Only merch — because some things should only belong to those who understand.

The one we pulled that day held the sheet music for “Today,” a brand new Smashing Pumpkins song.

We plugged in our axes, flipped the amp’s switch, igniting a tiny red light, and studied the tablature like hawks. Jarid plucked away at the lead notes and after a few measures; I hammered in with the driving power chords. We grinned as the fuzzy sound of distortion hushed the rain hitting the roof. Our eyes lit up, and a monster was born that day. We had to form a band.

Small island living is great, but it has drawbacks when searching for local like-minded musicians. Jarid and I hunted for the perfect group of characters to join us in taking over the world …
