Just … Continue reading New Single From Flat Worms
Ben Katzman’s DeGreaser will release their new LP, Quarter Life Crisis, on the 12th October via BUFU Records. Produced by MM fave Colleen Green, and with more than a passing nod to influences like KISS, Van Halen, and The Ramones, it’s full of ripping guitar solos, plenty of shredding, and clever, relatable lyrics. As if that wasn’t enough it also mixes in an obsession with astrology, … Continue reading Introducing >>> Ben Katzman’s DeGreaser

With an album cover like that, and a name like Rude Dude and the Creek Freaks, one would be entitled to expect some high octane, garage-psych of the highest order. Thankfully, this first release from the Savannah record shop, Graveface Records & Curiosities, delivers on all counts. Top banana as we like to say. Stream the marvellously named Dan Halen here, and preorder the vinyl or digital … Continue reading Introducing >>> Rude Dude and the Creek Freaks
LA indiepop-punks Girl Friday take inspiration from a plethora of influences ranging from the SCUM Manifesto, socialist propaganda, pro-women rallies, The Breeders, witchcraft, mall goths, and surf rock of the 70s. On new single Decoration/Currency, the foursome have effortlessly fused together a seemingly clashing collage of musical styles with intelligently poetic lyrics wrapped in a pro-active, political mentality. Listen below, and to (possibly even better) previous … Continue reading Introducing >>> Girl Friday
The latest project to involve long standing MM fave James Jackson Toth (aka Wooden Wand), as well as Hans Chew, Nick Mitchell Maiato, Ryan Jewell and Dan Brown, is an album from One Eleven Heavy titled Everything’s Better. It wonderfully evokes the classic 70s cosmic country of Gram Parsons and The Grateful Dead via their own unique take on that era’s psychedelic jams and gnarly roots rock. Check … Continue reading Mad Mackerel Recommends… One Eleven Heavy

Thoroughly enjoying these tracks from Canada’s Lonely Parade. Olive Green is the fourth song to be shared from upcoming long player The Pits and is a fabulous mix of wiry post-punk and disaffected Sonic Youth style dissonance. The propulsive, cascading guitar line is underpinned by an off-kilter rhythmic emphasis, performing an unusual call and response with the bass line, before giving way to a driving wordless … Continue reading Lonely Parade – The Pits
