Buffalo-based psychedelic indie art rock band Aircraft make catchy pop tunes with lush vocal harmonies, swirling guitars, melodic bass lines and powerful drumming that create the perfect atmosphere for fragile vocals to float in and out of. The band is set to release their new EP 7 Gems From The Sparkling Void later this summer, seven songs that find these sonic astral adventurers setting the controls … Continue reading MM Shorts 757: Aircraft
We have been hugely taken with new band Fakers and their initial tunes $600 and Gold Room. So we’re delighted to be able to offer the premiere of their new track Seasons Greetings, which also comes from their forthcoming debut EP release Personality Voices. Hailing from LA and a local supergroup of sorts with members taken from another MM fave band the Henry Clay People as well as Piebald, Vanaprasta, … Continue reading MM Premiere: Fakers – Seasons Greetings
Hailing from Blackpool, three-piece Strange Bones’ first track SOIA (Sick Of It All for those not in the know) is an exceedingly pleasing mix of incendiary, crash and burn guitars, aggressive riffing, bleak vocals and all anchored by a growling, hypnotic bass line. Definitely ones to watch… . . Continue reading Introducing >>> Strange Bones

Girl Band are one of the best live bands we’ve seen in recent times, creating propulsive, and almost terrifyingly energetic noise-rock that pulls as much influence from classic techno as from their more obvious post-punk, noise and industrial predecessors. Their debut album Holding Hands with Jamie, is out on 25th September on Rough Trade. This is the video for new single Paul. . Continue reading New Video: Girl Band – Paul
Post War Glamour Girls have returned with a brand new track Felonious Punk, a track that manages to be both paranoid and playful at the same time. It comes ahead of their second album, released this October through Hide & Seek Records. Recalling the likes of The Pixies and Wild Beasts with vocals evocative of Nick Cave crossed with Mark E Smith (if they had … Continue reading Post War Glamour Girls – Felonious Punk
Ali and Billy Strange are cousins from Glasgow’s East End. Together they are Acting Strange, making raw lo-fi guitar music but never deviating too far from their pop sensibilities – the pair embody the spark of a young Lee Mavers and the more playful (less heroin-y) Velvets tracks. First single Rumble evokes the classic songwriting of the 1960s, jangly rhythm and blues reminiscent of Merseybeat … Continue reading MM Shorts 754: Acting Strange

Three of our favourite bands have, by happy coincidence, all offered up new tracks so we thought we’d stick them altogether in one neat package for you. First up are indie legends and slowcore stalwarts Low with another excellent tune from their forthcoming album Ones and Sixes, which is out in September. What Part Of Me, is a beauty of sparse harmonies and slightly fuzzy melody … Continue reading Three’s Company: New Tunes From Low, Coke Weed & Traams
