CultureProfessor Murder Rides the Subway is a forgotten slice of dance-punk perfection

The 16-minute EP by New York dance-punk band Professor Murder is praised as a vivid snapshot of the city’s mid-2000s music scene. Its stripped-back disco stomp, cheap synths, shouted chants, syncopated percussion, and throbbing bass keep the groove central, with “Champion” and “Free Stress Test” highlighted as standout tracks.
