Delighted to have a new single to share from the down-to-earth, but utterly psychotic duo The Lovely Eggs. Sick of hearing people crowing about how many drugs they’ve done on a night out or at a festival, their retort is a big fuck-you to the pricks with a typically surreal insight into their crazy world. Appropriately titled Drug Braggin’, it is a brilliant fuzzed up … Continue reading New Lovely Eggs Single
The Planchettes are a duo from New Orleans and purveyors of some pretty mean electric blues. They have a new four track single out. You can watch the videos for Shackle Me Not and Degenerate Sin from it below and experience first hand what they describe as their very own gritty, dirt-muffled, punch-in-the-face, spider-legged rock’n’roll. Order the single here. Continue reading MM Shorts 875: Planchettes

I know we’re late to it and I don’t quite know how we missed it, but Fat White Family’s single Breaking Into Aldi is a brilliantly sleazy slice of anarchic indie that manages to be both depraved and deprived. And all at the same time! It is their first new material since their second album Songs For Our Mothers, and the single is backed by … Continue reading Fat White Family’s New Single
C-Side is the latest single from Wytches (which we posted here), and without getting into too much of a muddle, the B-Side to C-Side is this track Hannover Square. But never mind all that – it is more black-hearted, gothic tinged psych-rock that majors on the sleazy side of good old rock’n’roll… Stream it here. Continue reading The Wytches – Hannover Square

I still remember the first time I heard The Warlocks. The Dope Feels Good blasting out in Tower Records in San Diego sometime in early 2003. I bought the album, Phoenix immediately. The band produce a relentless, hypnotic wall of sound that suggests a collision between classic psychedelia, Krautrock and Velvet Underground style rock and roll. Now into their seventeenth year, the new album from these … Continue reading New Album From The Warlocks
