Melbourne’s post-punk masters Terry are back with a new single – Bizzo And Top Hat – which comes from a new EP Who’s terry?, out on the 19th July via Upset The Rhythm. Typically, catchy, typically sharp, typically sardonic, typically excellent. Stream it here. Continue reading Terry – Bizzo And Top Hat
Famed for their wall of sound, and notoriously difficult to label (they themselves describe their music as “psychedelic, socialist, utopian, death raga, erroneous funk, trapdoor jazz, bastard muzak“), the origins of Meatraffle are lost in obscurity although it has been said that they came about as the result of a drunken afternoon shared by Clams Baker and Zsa Zsa Sapien in a South London Wetherspoon … Continue reading Meatraffle – The Day The Earth Stood Still
Long term MM faves Lightning Dust, the Vancouver based duo of Amber Webber and Josh Wells, formerly of Black Mountain have announced their fourth album, Spectre. It will be released on October 4th, via Western Vinyl and the band have also shared lead single Devoted To. Webber wrote the moving and haunting songs on Spectre during a challenging, introspective time of self-discovery that resulted in … Continue reading Lightning Dust Announce Spectre, Share Devoted To
After four years, Californian punks CEREMONY are back with a new album, In The Spirit World Now. The album explores some pretty amorphous lyrical territory about arrested development, botched relationships, and the never-ending hamster wheel of self-destruction so many creative people succumb to – it’s out on the 23rd August, but for now content yourself with a pretty fine lead single, Turn Away The Bad Thing. … Continue reading CEREMONY – Turn Away The Bad Thing
We posted about LA band Black Adidas way back at the start of 2018, and we’re becoming rather fond of raucous new single Be Cool. The band deliver some pretty rugged punk rock that nods slyly to its origins without beating their listeners over the head with replica or reproduction. Sure, you might hear some Rancid in there and even (rather nostalgically for us) some Sham … Continue reading Black Adidas – Be Cool
In honour of Independence Day, Lucy Dacus has released a new single titled Forever Half Mast.

Her ongoing 2019 singles series will also include tracks tied to Springsteen’s Birthday, Halloween, Christmas, and New Year’s, with a physical EP … Continue reading Lucy Dacus – Forever Half Mast
LA based grunge rockers Goon have recently signed to Partisan (home of IDLES and Fontaines D.C.) and have shared their satisfyingly crusty behemoth of a new single Check Engine Light, which comes from their upcoming debut album Heaven Is Humming (out on the 19th July). Have a listen. Continue reading Goon – Check Engine Light
We’re loving this single from emerging Brighton five-piece Youth Sector, a post-punk outfit offering up a blend of drawling vocal melodies and crooked guitars on new single Renting Spaces In My World. It sounds like it has come straight out of NYC in the early 1980s and definitely has echoes of Talking Heads, Devo and even some classic indie disco, but happily it ploughs its own furrow, … Continue reading Introducing >>> Youth Sector
Fresh from the release of their excellent debut album Dogrel, Fontaines D.C. have now shared a new video for album track Sha Sha Sha. The video takes place in the same the same circus company (Duffy’s) as featured on their album artwork. Watch it below – buy the album here. Continue reading Fontaines D.C. – Sha Sha Sha Video
The Goa Express will release their urgent new single The Day on Friday the 5th of July. It combines an unstoppable new wave rhythm and abrasive guitars with sneering vocals that brim over with the spirit of seizing the day while everything is falling apart around you. Sure, their sound may rustle with the ghosts of acts like The Stooges, Psychedelic Furs and contemporaries like … Continue reading Introducing >>> The Goa Express
