New Cowboy Builders are a Bristol based band originally from South Wales that have put out a couple of EPs in the last few years independently, and have an album coming out soon on Bath’s Killing Moon Records. The first track released from it is the intriguingly titled Top Jokes Only A Receptionist Would Get, which is a satisfyingly brutal slab of noisy, confrontational punk rock. … Continue reading MM Shorts 813: New Cowboy Builders
Prosthesis is the fourth album in five years from Mark Ryan’s shadowy, shape-shifting “solo” band Mind Spiders. Based in Ft. Worth, TX, Mind Spiders launched pretty much immediately after his last project, the well-loved, highly-influential Marked Men went on indefinite hiatus at the beginning of 2009. Incorporating garage rock, post-punk, bedroom pop, krautrock, and tons of other obscure references throughout the eight song LP, everything blends seamlessly … Continue reading Mind Spiders Announce New Album
After four years away, Sennen returned with details of a new album, First Light, and a new track of dream-pop inspired shoegaze in the form of the ear-phone friendly Autopilot.

Clocking in at just under seven minutes it swirls with an undercurrent of tension and menace … Continue reading Miranda Lee Richards – First Light Of Winter

We’re loving the sounds from this two track EP, taken from the upcoming album from Margaret Glaspy. It might not seem a very rock’n’roll name, but don’t judge a book by its cover! Guitars crunch, vocals spit, snarl and snap and it is clear that this is someone who is not to be taken lightly. These are tunes that are pragmatic, unsentimental, independent, and a damn … Continue reading MM Shorts 812: Margaret Glaspy
