New Single From LIFE

Discovering LIFE at Truck Festival back in 2017 was one of our festival highlights, so much so we went straight out and bought a vinyl copy of their excellent debut long player Popular Music. A follow-up is (thankfully) due for release this year and they’re sharing the biting first single, Moral Fibre, which is out today via Afghan Moon / PIAS, and is available for … Continue reading New Single From LIFE

Fat White Family – Tastes Good With The Money

Here is a second taste from the Fat White Family’s upcoming album Serfs Up! Tastes Good With The Money is built on the back of a scuzzy slow burn of a glam rock riff, absurd lyrics that drop with sordid innuendo and a vocal cameo from Baxter Dury. Throw in a surreal Monty Python inspired video and you’ve got all the ingredients for another irresistible, … Continue reading Fat White Family – Tastes Good With The Money

Mad Mackerel Recommends… Trupa Trupa

Hailing from Gdansk in Poland, Trupa Trupa are a new addition to the Sub Pop label and it is easy to see why on the strength of the woozily menacing Dream About. Theirs is a world teeming with nihilistic considerations, slyly dark humour, and survivalist self-assurances.

Mad Mackerel Recommends… Walking Bicycles

Emerging from a five year silence and guided by warped guitar tones, menacing drums, and thundering bass, the new sound that Chicago post-punk foursome Walking Bicycles present on their new release Chooch is louder than anything they’ve recorded before. With echoes of Siouxsie & The Banshees doom laden gothica, take a listen to Fat Cat, and latest single, the fearsome ESP below.
