Natural Child / Guantanamo Baywatch Split 7″

Natural Child are big favourites of MM regular Chris T Popper, and he will be delighted with this new offering from the Nashville based blues rockers. The Surf  N Turf EP is a split 7″ with Guantanamo Baywatch, and the Natural Child offering, Don’t Wake The Baby is more brilliant backwoods southern-fried country which these boys are so damn good at, whilst on the flip side we … Continue reading Natural Child / Guantanamo Baywatch Split 7″

MM Shorts 484: Jeff Finlin

Ohio comes from Jeff Finlin’s most recent album My Moby Dick, which has been out awhile, but which we’ve only just discovered. It is classic singer-songwriter Americana,  ranging from rough country to swampy blues and laced with a touch of darkness, a touch of romance, a hint of menace, and plenty of alcohol, death, and sorrow. Well worth checking out… Continue reading MM Shorts 484: Jeff Finlin

Pontiak – Innocence

The brilliant Pontiak will return in January with a new album, Innocence. The title track is available to download now and is just over two minutes of anthemic sonic brilliance channeling classic MC5 riffing, stoned Sabbath grooves and thunderous percusssion. Appropriately enough it is inspired by the experience of a four day hangover from drinking Venezuelan hooch. Sounds like it too. Marvellous. Pre-order from Thrill … Continue reading Pontiak – Innocence

Scott H. Biram To Release Nothin’ But Blood

We’ve long admired and enjoyed the raw, simmering, often rabid, one-man-band blues of Scott H. Biram – like a meaner, nastier, and considerably better Seasick Steve! So it is great to hear he is back with a new album, Nothin’ But Blood, on the ever reliable Bloodshot Records in February next year. His distinct songwriting cocktail is much to the fore, encompassing a penchant for sludge … Continue reading Scott H. Biram To Release Nothin’ But Blood
