Venom & Faith is the new album from Nashville based sister duo Larkin Poe, to be released on the 9th November. The Atlanta-born sisters Rebecca and Megan Lovell are descendants of celebrated US writer Edgar Allen Poe and have an appropriately gothic feel to their country blues churn and holler. Even the record’s title, taken from a lyric from album track Honey Honey, is intended to conjure … Continue reading Larkin Poe – Bleach Blonde Bottle Blues
Fiercely independent Croydon-based duo Frauds are set to release their brand new single Animals due out on the 2nd November. It follows their well received debut album With Morning Toast & Jam & Juice. This new single may well be their most political track to date, pointedly tearing down the absurdity of the current regime in a way that will make you laugh, if even … Continue reading Frauds – Animals

They are releasing their full-length album, A Deafening Silence, on October 26th and You Say is a perfect example of their fired up punk rock. Watch the video here. Continue reading Taco Mouth – You Say
Lifestyles play proper, old-skool punk rock. Ripping new single Wail (out on 26th October as a split with fellow Chicagoans and long standing MM faves Meat Wave) is just over two minutes of unstoppable fury that gallops out the stalls at 100mph and never lets up once. It takes aim at Scientology and is dedicated to the memory of Hüsker Dü’s Grant Hart. We’re loving it. Stream … Continue reading Mad Mackerel Recommends… Lifestyles
