“Not exactly subtle in their delivery, Edmonton's Jay Sparrow and band play whiskey-soaked ""Texas punk"" odes to their own demons. On their new album, produced by Gordie Johnson of Big Sugar fame and recorded at Willie Nelson's own studio in Austin Texas, the Sparrows mix the red-headed stranger's storytelling with plenty of fire and energy.” – NOW Magazine (Toronto)

The Murder City Sparrows were one of Edmonton’s most notorious bands. Founded by Jay Sparrow, the four-piece punk outfit released one self-titled  EP and the full length album Dead Horse Disco, both produced by Gordie Johnson (Grady, Big Sugar). Although they received national radio and video play (with all videos by the award winning director Michael Maxxis) the band is currently on hiatus as Jay continues his solo journey. Joining Jay in his solo endeavour is fellow Sparrow, Doc De Groot. Don’t be too surprised to see Murder City Sparrows once again rock a stage or two.
