Caviare Days started out in Brooklyn with sisters Lina and Maja Westin, but has since grown into a steady five piece band with Timmy Grim on the drums, Boris Grubesic on the guitar and Marcus Arborelius on the keys and synthesizer bass. It has been nigh on two years since we featured them but their upcoming EP Like Me is out on the 10th June, … Continue reading New EP From Caviare Days
Scottish duo Man Of Moon will release their excellent debut single The Road backed with This World via Melodic Records on the 17th July. With its unerring motoric groove and shimmering rising peaks the lead track is a song about vocalist Chris Bainbridge’s sisters’ attempts to break free from struggles with anxiety. It has one foot in the UK neo-psychedelic revival, but for five grippingly uneasy minutes it … Continue reading Introducing >>> Man Of Moon

It is more than two years since we’ve posted about Dead Stars, and I have to confess we somehow missed their debut album Slumber last summer. Calm Punk is the band’s first new release since then and is a welcome return and reminder of the Brooklyn-based trio’s fuzzy, hook-filled brand of indie-rock. Stream it here. . Continue reading MM Shorts 718: Dead Stars
Lady Bones have shared 24 Hour Party Girl, the second single from the Boston trio’s upcoming full length debut Dying. If follows lead single Botch and takes the band on another rollercoaster ride through rough edged grunge, twisted Americana, and pounding post-punk. The album is one of dark hardcore-edged indie rock haunted by a backwoods twang that sounds more like the product of a band living near the Floridian … Continue reading Lady Bones – 24 Hour Party Girl
Acoustic punk duo Girlpool have shared Cherry Picking, a relationship lament, and the latest single from the band’s much anticipated debut album, Before The World Was Big. Stream it below. . Continue reading Girlpool – Cherry Picking
It’s tempting to simply categorise Georgia’s Pinecones alongside their punk, hardcore, and metal roots. Really, though, it’s no use: no genre can claim them as one of its own. This is music that’s too melodic for the conventions of punk, but with vocals that are often shouted with hardcore’s guttural ferocity. It’s doom laden, meandering, punch-to-the-gut stuff that is as defiant as it is manic and as compelling as … Continue reading Mad Mackerel Recommends… Pinecones
Velvet Morning are back with a new single of dreamy psychedelia. You’re Blue, I’m Blue is the first languid taste from their forthcoming debut long player Gorilla which is out at the end of June. Stream it here and immerse yourself into four and a half minutes of swirling lush atmospherics anchored by mellow guitar and blissed out vocals. Lovely stuff. . Continue reading New Single From Velvet Morning
Asylums know intimately the tiny pleasures that can be found despite walking the poverty line. Their new single Joy In A Small Wage may as well be the band’s manifesto – a fierce DIY ethic with homemade videos and self-released records. The single comes across like Orange Juice gene-spliced with Mudhoney, all pop hooks wrapped in barbed wire and wry social commentary. Listen here. . Continue reading MM Shorts 715: Asylums
