Little Metal baby Fist is the latest single from The Dirty Nil. Available for a pay what you want deal on their Bandcamp. By way of explanation, The Dirty Nil recording experience is dependent on beer, blood, broken bones, broken instruments, broken ears, inescapable loudness, screaming, unresolved girl problems, exposed wiring, no pants, no shoes, making their producer drink more than he wants to, a … Continue reading MM Shorts 267: The Dirty Nil
We first became switched on to Bottom Dollars when we downloaded their recent Daytrotter Session. In particular the near ten minute epic of Fall Into Arms, a southern-tinged indie rocker, which has one of the best, and most insistent, openings of any song we’ve heard all year. It is a nailed on, pedal-to-the-floor tune for the open road! A bit of further investigation revealed a … Continue reading MM Shorts 266: Bottom Dollars

The damn thing has been on near constant repeat… The band hail from Cornwall and their … Continue reading Mad Mackerel Recommends…Red River Dialect
Off and on throughout 2012, Gospel Claws have been recording songs for their second LP Put Your Sunshine Away (out next week). With songs influenced by ‘50s doo-wop and further exploration of vintage sonics and recording techniques, the band have created a sound that is distinctly their own.

We have been meaning to post about the heavy psychedelic sonics of Black Market Karma for much too long. Mining a similar sonic vein stretching from Hawkwind to Spacemen 3 and through to current space rock doyens like Wooden Shjips, Moon Duo and the Black Angels, they are nothing if not prolific as they are now into recording their fourth album of 2012 alone. Their first album … Continue reading Introducing >>> Black Market Karma
