Welcome to the Sinister Murk Homepage

This page is dedicated to the greatest Rap/Rock band ever conceived, called Sinister Murk

Sinister Murk, stylized sinister Murk, was active from 2001 to 2005.
Founding members, and life-long friends, Kimber and Jon started messing around in Jon’s basement in The Y2K working on grunge covers.
Third member Shawn, who was a late edition to the friend group as seniors in high school, was invitied to come to practices and try his hand at singing.
Not much of a singer, but pretty good at rapping, Shawn became the frontman and the band started to work on original music almost immediately.
The quartet was rounded out by bassist Zack, who was just as weird as the rest of the band and fit right in.
Zack unfortunately left the band after 2 months, but the trio continued to write music and recorded their original 5 songs on a 4 track recorder.
The original recordings took place in the damp and dirty basement, lending a vibe and feel to the music.
Zack rejoined the band in 2004, helping to write 4 new songs, which the band took to the local bars, along with some covers and the original 5 songs, and blew people’s eardrums out with their hard and heavy rap/rock style.
