Brooklyn-based rockers Cup have just released their new album – the satisfyingly hard and heavy-hitting Nothing Could Be Wrong, out through Aagoo Records. With a gritty sound that draws from psych rock, garage, some surf licks and punk, imagine something a bit like Black Angels meets Oh Sees meets The Cramps, then add some early desert Queens Of The Stone Age, with even a little Gary … Continue reading Cup – Nothing Could Be Wrong
Anarchic Canadian music collective Crack Cloud will release their debut album Pain Olympics on the 17th July. The band have also shared an incendiary video for the record’s lead single Ouster Stew, a jittery slice of punk funk that nods to the Talking Heads and James Chance. Catch them on tour Nov 17th | London – EARTH Nov 19th | Leeds – Brudenell … Continue reading Crack Cloud – Ouster Stew
The Imbeciles are new to us, but we’re loving the 73 second gem that is One Hand Tommy, and the accompanying surreal animated video featuring a child trapped in a dystopian landscape of nuclear annihilation with only a giant killer snake for company. It comes from the band’s self-titled debut album – thirteen sub-two minute imploding songs of delirious punk with blood curdling vocals, disarticulated fretwork … Continue reading Introducing >>> The Imbeciles
It seems only right and proper that following new music from Fontaines D.C.and The Murder Capital, that another of our favourite Dublin bands Silverbacks should also share the good news of their debut album Fad, with a new single, and video, titled Muted Gold. Taking their cues from the taut rhythms and urgent drive of late 70s punk and the discordant, unpredictable freak-outs of NYC no … Continue reading Silverbacks Announce Debut Album, Share Muted Gold
Here is another track from Lucern Raze’s forthcoming long player International Breakdown, which is out next week via PNKSLM Records. The record features collaborations with the likes of Chemtrails, Cherry Pickles, Black Mekon, this one with ShitKid, Swampmeat, and now this track, Elvis Ronaldo, with another MM fave, Sudakistan. We have got no idea what’s going on, but it is one hell of a track, … Continue reading More From Lucern Raze, This Time With Sudakistan
Hot Heater is the latest single taken from Pottery’s much anticipated debut album Welcome To Bobby’s Motel, which is out on the 26th June via Partisan Records. It is another trip into the band’s psychedelic dreamworld, all chugging low-end, blasts of disco beats and tribal chants. Stream it here. Rescheduled UK Live Dates Sept 8th | Manchester – Deaf InstituteSept 9th | Glasgow – Nice … Continue reading Pottery – Hot Heater
We’re a sucker for a good story – especially one from the halcyon days of punk rock. So it is with Bona Rays’ Poser, possibly the UK’s last great undiscovered punk single from the 1970s, and the only UK punk single recorded from that time fronted by a woman of West Indian descent. Back in 1978, punk songwriter and guitarist Tony Keating had a few … Continue reading Bona Rays – Poser
We missed this release from Laura Stevenson as part of Bandcamp’s revenue sharing day at the beginning of May. After Those Who Mean It has been around in demo form for a while, but this is a gorgeous acoustic version that is beautiful in its understated simplicity. Continue reading Laura Stevenson – After Those Who Mean It
The Bobby Lees are a bone-shaking garage rock band out of Woodstock, NY. Their new record Skin Suit was produced by underground punk legend Jon Spencer of the Blues Explosion and will be released on Alive Naturalsound Records on the 17th July. Mixing classic garage-punk with raw and emotive storytelling, this is their socially distanced video for the raucous Drive. Continue reading The Bobby Lees – Drive
The Growlers have shared a new single, Dream World, which was recorded after sessions for their last album, 2019’s Natural Affair LP. The track imagines an alternate universe available to everyone, if you want it. Upright pianos, razorwire guitars, and singer Brooks Nielsen’s most prescient lyrics to date invite us all to embrace the other side, whatever that might be…. call it danceable garage pop … Continue reading The Growlers – Dream World
