Back with a Bong! is the second album from New York hardcore punk band Murphy's Law.
It was released in 1989 on Profile Records and subsequently re-released on Another Planet Records in 1994 with the previous self-titled album on the same disc.
It came three years after the previous album and the band had undergone somewhat of a transformation with Jimmy Gestapo the only remaining member.
Alex Morris had been replaced on guitar by Todd Youth – previously of fellow New York hardcore bands, Agnostic Front and Warzone, and later of Danzig. Chuck Valle replaced Pete Martinez on bass, and Doug E. Beans took over drumming duties from Petey Hines.
They followed this album with 1991's Best of Times, 1993's Good For Now, and 1996's Dedicated – so called because Chuck Valle was killed in 1994.
Overview
Although the band had entered the limelight a bit more since their self-titled 1986 album, the music was still noticeably hardcore punk. Far from taking in influences from the crossover thrash scene, they instead opted for introducing more eclectic sounds such as ska and brass instruments.
