Are you like me and live to be a freak? Do you like to dress like a zombie slut, snort pixie sticks, get pissed drunk, and eat so much candy that Keith Morris has better blood sugar levels than you? Then you must check out the fourth issue of Murder & Mayhem! Usually, Mayhem is 4 punx only, but in the spirit of Samhain, even if you aren't as punk as puke, the zine is still fun! But, please don't think that I sold out like Jared 4skin did with his shitty book Going Down The Punk Rock Highway; the Trey of Today will never let THE LOUTS, be sold on walmart or amazon. The Mayhem Zine is always DIY! So, the Halloween Zine features punks from all genres, ages, and countries! There's interviews with Raleigh legends: punk rock cartoonist, and POLVO member, Brian Walsby! Brian drew a beautiful cover; Walsby's talented! Another longtime Raleigh fuck up, Andy, from KIFF gives us more evidence of his love for KISS. Then there's the young punks keeping alive the tradition COC started: Pollute. and Chapel Hill freaks GEEKED. There's mayhem from a metalhead of HELLWITCH. Poetry including a horror haiku from my master, Mykel Board. I'm glad that piece of shit contributed; can you believe Mykel Board hates Halloween? I mean just read his blog post on the subject. Last year I sent him some candy laced with rat poison and other tricks and treats. He had his scrooge epiphany and contributed a Horror Haiku. There's also the chaos and porn you expect from the brand that bought you DRUNK's NOT DEAD.

And here’s footage from the last Trance mission:
The links for the zine and comp will be posted by the time we escape this planet. Follow the links in the sidebar for the previous issues.
Until then, enjoy oi! Oi! Oi! RIOT DIVISION’s video with the real Wednesday Addams,
The Friday after next will be terrifying! On Friday the Thirteenth, Murder & Mayhem will release its Halloween Zine; featuring interviews with: GEEKED, KIFF, POLLUTE., RIOT DIVISION, and more; plus an original horror haiku from Maximum Rocknroll’s MYKEL BOARD, and art from Brian Walsby. Of course it will also have the usual mayhem that y’all crave.
So in a bit over a week, check your mailboxes, go to Sorry State Records, or check out the remnants of PSYCHO 13, BLOOD RED RIVER play with KIFF at Chapel of Bones in Raleigh on Friday, September 13th.
Hey, if you got some Mayhem in the mail, consider it a promo or first edition. Half of the promo cd's are wrong and the track that's all static is: "Sadlack's Heroes" by the LOUTS, so at least I only fucked up Murder & Mayhem's stuff and not anyone important. But, "Sadlck's Heroes" is a great song off The LOUTS / TWO FISTED split 7". It's dedicated to a bar named Sadlack's that was right by the COC house. Slayer Dug would just show up during the day and mosh to no music at all. It was great times; now it's skyscrapers. Fuck this place! Anyway download: THE LOUTS "Sadlacks Heroes" mp3 here on mediafire or you can stream it here: THE LOUTS on audiomack. I'll do you one better and give you the 7" for free art and all; download it here:
Look how fucking awesome Reguristate was:
GEEKED has a few shows coming up; y’all go see ‘em and tell them that they would be perfect to play the first Mayhem Fest at Panther Lake this fall!
And here is what they sound like live;
And as fun as GEEKED are; POLLUTE playing Neptunes in Raleigh on July 9th! Fuck; Pollute should totally play Mayhem Fest! That is the type of anarcho punk Panther Lake is based on!
So enjoy and just for nostalgia, enjoy REGURISTATE! Crust punk from the turn of the century; Sam-me will definitely be co hosting Mayhem fest and he likes the d-beat; so s as ll you crusty fuckers within a half day drive need to come down to Willow spring, NC this fall!
Reguistate live at Caboose; garner nc Andy miller collection
Alright y’all the next post will announce the official release of Murder & Mayhem’s Punk Rock Zine and comp. Stay tuned!!!
I found a list of shows in North Carolina, titled: “All Things Hard, Harsh & Heavy” compiled by: rstamey@hotmail.com
Whoever they are, they are awesome for doing this. I will definitely make some copies and make sure they are at Panther Lake, Sorry State Records, and whatever other bar or tattoo place I stumble into.

I have been meaning to update this shit, but I have a life! I've been going to shows, playing bass, catching bass, eating ass, working, twerking, jerking, studying, and getting high! So 4give me and enjoy oi oi oi some videos of some shows that I went to recently. Read the next issue of Murder & Mayhem's Punk Zine 4 show reviews and shit talking! Look for it this summer until then, get high and listen to DAIKAIJU, my new favorite band, I saw them last week on my birthday, they were hella rad and so was NITE-NITE, whose bassist bought me a delicious shot of tequila and then produced a mickey's grenade.
my bud is flame, but on 4/15/2024 in Raleigh,You know who doesn't rock?
The CIRCLE JERKS
I hate K. Morris! But for an unbiased review of the show read Jeff's take in the Sorry State Records' Newsletter on April 8th, 2024, I agree, but for you nostalgic, commercial, and posers, here's some footage:
and make sure to catch DELETAR on their US tour
Here are some shows coming up soon in the Triangle area. If your band is coming by, please let me know!
And if you need a place to play in North Carolina, get in touch; you can play Panther Lake,..
and maybe, even, catch a "Foul Mouthed Bass" mp3
In 1998, on my 21st birthday I saw THE DROPKICK MURPHY'S and went out and got a Guinness label with "Barroom Hero" written across it. 'twas new feelin', I do enjoy oi oi the DM's but like most good bands, their first album was the best Do or Die is fuckin' amazing, I just finished lissenin 2 it, and thought about about how the DMs were kick ass, but the shit they inspired was so overdone in the MySpace days; who remembers Flatfoot 56? They were fun! Silly as shit, but I just started hanging out with this hot-ass chick that I never thought was that hot, but after this show, and this picture of her, I knew I wanted that honey pot at the end of the rainbow.
So enuff thinking; it's saint patrick's day! Start Drinking!
The new zine is out MURDER & MAYHEM IS RISEN! You may have picked up one at a show this past weekend, please Enjoy oi oi oi it! I mailed out a bunch as well; if you're punk, check your mailbox!

This is your lucky day, this fairy is giving you Murder & Mayhem Records' classic: DRUNK'S NOT DEAD featuring 4 songs about drinking, including: The Louts, Boot Militia, the Bad Preachers, and Die Strohsacke. So get drunk. stay punk, and always go after that Pot o' Gold (or honey).

The next issue of Murder & Mayhem Presents: Zine & Album is almost complete; will be out in early March we still need sponsors/advertisers. Also: Se quiere punk en espanol (cantar o escribir).
Hoy es el 31 de enero de 2024. So I must say happy birthday to my favorite writer, Mykel Board. I just finished reading Even a Daughter Is Better Than Nothing; I was thoroughly entertained and rarely grossed out. Board is also an accomplished haiku-ist, but us old punks know him from "You're Wrong" back when MRR was a thing. If you miss his column, he has a blog that's pretty much the same shit: Mykel's BLOG.
He was the inaugural centerfold for Murder & Mayhem's Zine, but more than that he's a rockstar! I made a playlist of Board doing various things on utube, including singing for ARTLESS. Check it out my playlist for when ur Board
Buy his books here: thriftbooks-M.Board
I will meet Mykel this summer if the dark lord allows.

Oi! This is the first blog post so we'll start with a brief intro. Murder & Mayhem started in '98 by Trey of Today and Dave of RegurgistAte. We put out five ep's: THE LOUTS Raleigh's Finest; THE DIRTY POLITICIANS "New Age"; Drunk's Not Dead compilation; PSYCHO 13 "I Bury The Living"; THE LOUTS / TWO-FISTED split.
More recently, I have teamed up with Jared of YAGE Records and made a zine with a compilation featuring those bands plus: INEPT; REGURGISTATE; BLOWNAPART BASTARDS; MOLD, and more.
The next issue and comp is planned for March, so if you are in a DIY band and think it would be cool to be on a 90's style cd-r, cassette comp, please get in touch! Same goes for writers!
Here's a commercial; The spokesperson is hot AF!
The zine is free! If you want a physical copy get in touch with your address; I'll send you a zine. If you want a tape or cd, I will have to charge you $6.66, but you get the 20 song comp plus more and the tape gets the B side blank, 45 minutes of blank tape so y'all can record your own noises. The CD will have 77 minutes of punk fucking shit you that might be new 2 u so yeah. We can work out the details just hit me up!
All of the Murder & Mayhem Discography as well as much of Yage's is available to stream at https://audiomack.com/treyoftoday.Also checkout my favorite writer's blog, Mykel Board's post-MRR blog. If you haven't read him since Maximum RocknRoll, go see what he's complaining about lately.
Also check out Suburban Utopia Projects and THE UNCIVIL SOCIETY. They are doing very interesting DIY shit; weird! I like! There will be some on the next comp 4 sure. If y'all want to as well email me: TreyofToday@yahoo.com so we can spread subversion and create chaos everywhere.
