Here is some new music from Grand Rapids, MI psych/garage rock band Heaters who released an excellent debut album Holy Water Pool last September, and who also featured in our best tracks of 2015. They will release new album Baptistina on the 5th August via the Beyond Beyond is Beyond label, and the first taste from it comes in the shape of the looping lunacy of Centennial. Listen … Continue reading New Album From Heaters
Earlier this month we posted Turfin and now Nashville’s Ranch Ghost has shared Ragged Mile, the second single from the bands’ new album Lookin. The album comes out on the 1st July via Rough Beast Records (pre-order here). The song is a stomping, swampy psychedelic garage rock cut and is well worth a listen. Try it on for size below.

Check out the first track from it below. Suitcase Jimmy has a no wave party vibe, a semi-improvised portrait of a fictional down-at-heel actor built around a Wilko Johnson-ish guitar part. Vanilla is out on the … Continue reading Evans The Death – Suitcase Jimmy
We featured surf-rockers from the semi-fictional Sour Coast Posture in our last Nickel In The Jukebox post with the reverb cloaked guitars of single I Just Can’t Wait To See My Girl. We’ve been playing it a lot here at MM Towers and now we the b-side for you. This is Dreamin’ – a far more retrained number that finds the four-piece in a simmering and sentimental mood. … Continue reading MM Shorts 847: Posture

Coo Coo is the latest single shared from Weaves’ upcoming debut self-titled long player. The track builds around an uncharacteristically mellow percussive pulse, and a simple, yet subtly irresistible vocal melody, before erupting in a nearly anarchic rhythmic cascade. Give it a spin below. Continue reading Weaves – Coo Coo
Health&Beauty have signed to Wichita Recordings, who will release their sixth full-length studio album, No Scare on the 5th August.
