Just discovered this while trying and failing to clear down the MM Inbox. Punk rock at its finest from Dublin’s Panik Attaks – just how many brilliant bands are coming out of Ireland at the moment? Love this! Continue reading Panik Attaks – Terror
Wonk Unit, the unique punk quartet born out of the South London town of Croydon, return with a new single Cyclists, that furthers the bands inimitable take on punk rock, and finds them this time taking aim at selfish cyclists. “Last Summer on route to a festival on some country lane we were unfortunate enough to get stuck behind two cyclists, yes two abreast,” explains … Continue reading Wonk Unit – Cyclists
Our favourite Belgian garage punk quartet Mind Rays are back with their second album Course of Action, due via ever reliable Swedish label PNKSLM Recordings on the 25th October. It comes two years after the release of their incendiary, top notch debut Nerve Endings, and once more the band is offering up another collection of furious garage punk. It is a lean, high tempo punk rock … Continue reading New Album From Mind Rays
During their initial run as a band, Vivian Girls were a band of outsiders for outsiders – a band for the freaks and the malcontents. The ones who loved The Wipers as much as Burt Bacharach as much as The Shangri-Las. They were the band that made the punks feel like they could sing harmonies and pop fans could get in touch with their anger. … Continue reading Vivian Girls – Memory
Not in the literal sense obviously – though there is nothing wrong with a freshly laundered garment. No this Dry Cleaning is a south London foursome that are about to release their second EP, Boundary Road Snacks and Drinks, which follows their summer debut Sweet Princess. The music is wonderfully simple – direct and uncomplicated with unusual spoken word style vocals which gives the whole thing an … Continue reading Mad Mackerel Recommends… Dry Cleaning
It’s no understatement to say that Girl Band’s The Talkies album is our most anticipated upcoming record. We’ve shared a couple of excellent tracks from it already and here is another – Salmon of Knowledge. Just listen! Continue reading Girl Band – Salmon of Knowledge
Taking influences from the likes of Mac DeMarco and Surf Curse, KATZ are a three-piece band from Manchester, who span surf punk, garage, and indie. Their new six track EP Dumb Songs was recorded entirely on a four track cassette recorder and is well well worth checking out. Listen to Dumb Song below and click through to order. Continue reading Introducing >>> KATZ
Round these parts we love Spray Paint who seemed to have carved out a completely unique sound and niche in the crowded post-punk arena. Since 2016’s Feel The Clamps long player, the band have shared their collaborations with Protomartyr, Ben Wallers, Ben Mackie, and Dan Melchior but not released anything new of their own. That’s about to change with Into The Country, a new album … Continue reading Spray Paint Announce New Album And Share Cleaning Your Gun
Following our earlier Dune Rats post, we’re keeping the Antipodean theme going with Melbourne four-piece Parsnip. When the Tree Bears Fruit is their debut album of playful, poetic, propulsive indie rock and follows on from two 7-inches in the last two years. They have shared a new single Taking Me For A Ride, an oddball pop gem laden with soft grooves, wide-eyed melodies and psychedelic hooks. … Continue reading Parsnip – Taking Me For A Ride
Our favourite fucked-up Aussie muckers are back with a new record! The mighty Dune Rats have shared Rubber Arm, and happily they have shown absolutely no musical progression at all, sticking with their tried and tested hyperactive, stoned punk rock with another mighty shout-a-long chorus. Great video too. Welcome back boys. Continue reading Dune Rats – Rubber Arm
