It can be tricky to juggle the froth of bubblegum pop with the bedlam of piss-and-vinegar punk rock, but it’s a duality Audacity embraces on new long player Hyper Vessels. We shared Dirty Boy back in January, now listen to the wonderfully frenetic Hypo below. Pre-order the album here. Continue reading MM Shorts 830: Audacity
We’ve already shared Valley Girl the excellent lead track from Meatbodies new single. Now we have the flip side for you – the tripped out buzz of the equally good Hibernation. Listen here. Continue reading Meatbodies – Hibernation
Ambulance is the debut single from Brooklyn’s Russian Baths. It is a powerful slab of noise-rock that undulates and rolls under the spell of swelling guitars and pummelling percussion. Most gratifying. Listen below. Continue reading MM Shorts 829: Russian Baths

After two albums of highly contagious garage-tinged indie rock Oklahoma’s BRONCHO are back with their third album Double Vanity, (due out May 27).

Continue reading Magic Potion – Milk
The excellently monikered Flat Worms are a garage punk supergroup of sorts, a trio consisting of Will Ivy (Dream Boys, Wet Illustrated, Bridez), Justin Sullivan (Kevin Morby, the Babies) and Tim Hellman (Thee Oh Sees, Ty Segall, Sic Alps). They have a three track single coming out on 7″ vinyl via Volar Records, and limited to 500 copies (order it here, we have).

Kent based garage rock/punk trio The Bay Rays have announced the forthcoming release of their debut single Four Walls.
