The Black Oil Brothers are one of those bands that effortlessly manage to evoke both classic, authentic Delta blues and rootsy, rolling Americana – combining them in a way that suggest campfire singalong as much as liquor fuelled Mississippi roadhouses. Talk To Me, with its bluesy slide guitar, is the perfect case in point, and comes from forthcoming long player Mean Business which is out on … Continue reading Black Oil Brothers – Talk To Me
2015 saw the release of the wonderful Twisted Arrow, the debut single by Belfast’s Arborist, fronted by Mark McCambridge. A nonchalant and thoughtful piece of Americana, it features the casual yet unmistakeable tones of Kim Deal. It was very well received and was one of our favourite tracks of the year. Arborist’s music is measured and mature while remaining starkly modern. Centred around McCambridge’s soaring vocal and … Continue reading New From Arborist

Originally from Australia, but now split across continents, The Valery Trails’ debut album, Ghosts and Gravity was released in 2012, followed up by Buffalo Speedway in 2014. The band’s third release, Chameleon Bones, is due out August 5. Channeling hazy guitar rock with some shoegaze leanings and a ‘90s revitalisation, the first single is the undeniably catchy OK. Stream/download it here. Continue reading MM Shorts 851: The Valery Trails
Offering up a particularly infectious, yet satisfyingly warped take on classic 70s glam and post-punk, Melbourne, Australia’s TERRY have shared their new single Third War, which is taken from their upcoming debut long player TERRY HQ. Following up the previously shared, and thoroughly excellent, Don’t Say Sorry, it is a song that juxtaposes a serious theme – violence on a grand scale – with high-spirited psych-tinged guitars, and it … Continue reading New Single From TERRY

Frank, and Bill Callahan among others, Moon Bros is the musical project of Matt Schneider, a renowned musician in both the Nashville Americana and the Chicago underground scenes.

In 2006, the then 20-year-old Adam Torres released his idiosyncratic, varied, and beautiful debut album, Nostra Nova. A DIY self-release, the album became a closely-held, sleeper favorite in the close-knit music scene of Athens, OH and over the years grew to a ‘cult classic’-like status. The album has a song on it called Breakneck Jane’s Fifteen Minute Escape, which is one of our favourite ever tracks, and … Continue reading New Album From Adam Torres
