Got A Girl have just revealed the whimsical video to Did We Live Too Fast – the duo play a married couple exploring comedically unconventional sexual kinks in an effort to spice up their relationship. Born of – but not limited to – their ardour for the gauche French pop of the 1960s, Got A Girl are at turns pillowy and demure, sharp and seductive, with a … Continue reading New Video: Got A Girl – Did We Live Too Fast
The Growlers took the phrase “Beach Goth” as an apt descriptor of their music. Sunburned and salty, that term perfectly describes their distinctive melding of reverb heavy surf guitar and Bakersfield-style honky tonk with ‘80s post-punk. This is especially true of Chinese Fountain, the band’s fifth full-length set to be released on September 23rd via Everloving Records. Eleven songs that finely hone their gypsy folk dirges and … Continue reading New Growlers Album
Here is another excellent track from Hyde & Beast. Keep Moving is the title track from their forthcoming second album, which can be pre-ordered from iTunes here.

Brooklyn-based fuzzcore rockers, Mount Sharp, have shared their new single Icarus taken from their forthcoming six track EP, Weird Fears, which drops this August via YK Records. First impressions are of a classic indie track of melody and distortion, but one that takes the summery feel and infects it with an eerie tinge that tips it over into territory that is delightfully uneasy. Perhaps the most discombobulating song … Continue reading Mount Sharp – Icarus
The somewhat strangely monikered The Hawks (Of Holy Rosary) trade power pop anthems with punk swagger and attitude to create a fizzing, high energy concoction that is impossible to not be swept up in. Check out the exuberant Snakes And Hawks from upcoming long-player, What Team Am I On? Pre-order the album here. . Continue reading MM Shorts 578: The Hawks (Of Holy Rosary)

Stagnant Pools’ sophomore album Geist was released this week on Polyvinyl Records. The result is ten songs that refine and expand on a shoegaze-meets-noise pop sound that has previously drawn comparisons to Joy Divison, Sonic Youth, and The Jesus and Mary Chain. Lead single Intentions continues in this tradition of pushing droning guitars barely over the edge into melody and amping up the fuzz and distortion … Continue reading Mad Mackerel Recommends… Stagnant Pools
