Having written an album that was just labeled "best of the decade” by Kip Berman (of The Pains of Being Pure at Heart) in Pitchfork's P2K list, Michael Grace, Jr. (then of cult indie-pop icons My Favorite) and his decade long collaborators have remodeled their sound for the new decade with The Secret History. This band's upcoming debut full-length album, The World That Never Was, declares the beginning of the 'Post-Pop' era with a conceptual record concerned with the monsters & ghosts of youth. Now joined by singer Lisa Ronson (daughter of glam rock legend Mick Ronson), both the bright lights and shadows of Grace & Co.'s songs come to life in a wholly new way.

They've reconciled their musical pasts into a sound that has been compared to The Smiths, Roxy Music and Felt. Their debut was described as if one “imagines that if Dusty Springfield were alive and young today (and a fan of Bikini Kill and glam rock), she may have released something just like Desolation Town.” (PopMatters)

"Murder Mystery is a pop band with a soul and a brain, expert at turning out catchy, hard-rocking, intelligent music. There's isn't a single weak track on their self-released debut."
-- THE VILLAGE VOICE

Tyburn Saints croon and plea to the Romantic within, embodying a yearning for bygone times. They proclaiming loss, love, lust and disgust through a rhythmic sensibility which crashes then simmers. The band weaves together murder ballads, cautionary tales, soulful punk, and psychedelic surf. Recorded in Woodstock, NY, their debut album "For the Benefit of Strangers," will be released late Winter 2010.
