Press:

“It emerges that the best path to unlocking (Nataka Sitaki) would be to revisit the first two albums.”
Dani - Heavy and the Beast

“The chorusy element of the song denotes euphoric elements of love which are so attractive. However, that is counterbalanced by stark and almost dystopian riffs and bass lines reminiscent of a punk outfit.”
Dani Kobimbo - Heavy and the Beast

“Shoutout to the drummer, she has some serious skill up her sleeve.”
Noah Penza - Fresh out of the Booth

“The Right Now spills plenty of magnetic soul making it all but impossible not to hook into the deftly orchestrated rhythms.”
Amelia Vandergast - A&R Factory

“Murfy’s FLaw Have Today Released Their Third Album Together With A Music Video To The Song “Right Now””
Dani - Heavy and The Beast

““Contagious (featuring the song "Contagious" by Kenyan rock band Murfy's Flaw) is a celebration of music, and especially the power of rock music to help us get rid of stress, come together and just enjoy life. It is a student film that was directed by Neil and Raviv Haeems.”
Anita Murage - Daily Nation

“ROFFEKE chats with Nambari Tisa of Murfy’s Flaw about music video directing and the movie store problem!”
Mildred Achoch - KENYA ROCK FILM FESTIVAL JOURNAL

“Woman personalities support Woman’s Day tonight”
Grace Kerongo - The Star

“Kenyan alternative rock band Murfy's fLaw have began a music mentorship program for high schools. The band held the first workshop at Precious Blood Secondary School Riruta, with the aim of promoting their new album, and to mentor young students to acquire a proper basis of education to tackle the entertainment industry. With their music mentorship program, Murfy’s fLaW is looking to share some of their music experiences and lessons learnt.”
GRACE KERONGO - The Star

“Kenyan rock fans rejoice. One of the country's best rockers have released an amazing video for an equally good song.”

“Of the active bands, probably the most successful is Murfy's fLaw. With a sound drawing heavily on early 90's alt-rock, this nearly-all-female band is one of the first bands in the Kenyan scene to record a full length album.”

“Amani came with a fully-fledged all-girl band, the Murfy’s FLaw. Hers was the top-notch performance.”
Pulse Team - Pulse

“Along with harder edged rock bands like Last Year's Tragedy and Murfy's Flaw, they [Just A Band] form the foundation for a vibrant music scene in Nairobi.”
The Root - The Roots

“They’ve got a lot more new music now and perform every first Friday of the month at Daas Restaurant, Westlands. Also at the BotB every first Sunday of every month at Choices, Baricho Road. You will sometimes find them at Brew Bistro, Ngong Road along with another Kenyan Rock outfit, M2O.”
Jeri - Zuqka

“Man! What a battle this! Choices was really rocking it this past weekend during the Battle of the Bands(BOTB); The Black Parade edition! This show was even bigger than the last edition with many past BOTB winners in the line up. All the bands gave it their all and the crowd was loving every minute of it, keeping them on their feet throughout the show.”
Ash - Muchene.com

“I’ll admit that for a continent which is widely believed to have been the place that rock & roll originated, I was having trouble finding African metal or even rock bands. But somebody alerted me to these guys, Murfy’s Flaw. They sounded okay but to be honest I thought they had more of an indie feel.”
Raven Garcia - Around The World In 80 Bands

“... I especially love the fact that this band demonstrates that people from different ethnic and racial groups can work together and make beautiful music together - literally and metaphorically!”
Mildred Achoch - ReviewStream.com

“Sun eve, went for Jazz Rock at Nu-Metro junkie ta listen to ‘Murphy’s Flaw,’ dat verr talented all-lady except Number Tisa rocky band, n drank bad Schweppes wit Blue Moon vodo n skooms. Advice? Stick ta Smirnoff!”
Smitta Smitten - Pulse

“Murfy’s Flaw, [has] a crazy guitarist called Number Nine, who on a good night sounds a bit like Hendrix. They just released a CD called “Makosa,” which features a great original tune that I love, called “Been Okay.” It sounds sort of like the kind of rock music that came out of San Francisco in the ’60s. ”
David Rinck - Che Underground

“There once was a girl, she had a dream, to be an architect, a rock star and most of all, a wife and mother.”
Jeri's Blog - Zuqka

“The event was not only a launch, but it was also a confirmation that rock is a budding music genre in Kenya which is slowly-but-surely making a stand in the music scene.”
Lydia Njeri - Haiya

“As usual, Murfy’s Flaw, which is fast gaining popularity in the music industry, did not fall short of giving their fans a good performance.”
Lydia Njeri - Haiya!

“Rock might not be a popular music genre in Kenya but it’s (making an) impact in a silent yet profound way. ‘Murfy’s Flaw’... Members, Reema, Punky, Nine, Jozie, Vicky and Jojo shed some light on what rock is, the challenges rock artists face, and the groups plans for the future.”
Lydia Njeri - Haiya!

“'Murfy's Flaw' were next on stage, the crowd could not hide their excitement as they began screaming as soon as the name was mentioned.”
Lydia Njeri - Haiya!

“Similarly, “Your Friend” by Murfy’s Flaw elicits these same emotions: happiness, sorrow, regret and love.”
Mildred A - Kenya Rock Community

“My favorite was without a doubt Murphy’s Flaw, made up of 5 chicks and a dude, I think their secret is in that arrangement cause it was magic.”
Daudi Ndugu - A Kenyan Existance

“... Jojo's keyboard-playing brought tears to my eyes. I've always thought that the keyboard/piano is more superior to the guitar...”
