Over the past six months Duologue have emerged from London’s live music scene swirling up a storm of anticipation via raucous live shows, word of mouth and a burgeoning mailing list of loyal fans and faithful followers. Deceptively titled they are in fact a five piece, with a sound that is hard to quantify. Influences seem to oscillate wildly, but with clear nods to genres as … Continue reading Introducing…Duologue
Ahh, now there’s a proper band name. You can probably guess what you’re going to get when The Dirty Lungs explode out of your speakers and you’d be right – a slinky hipped rambunctiousness and a sly wink to the garage greats of yesteryear, all wrapped up in some down ‘n’ dirty southern blues rock. In June they’re releasing a new 7″ alongside a video, … Continue reading Mad Mackerel Recommends…The Dirty Lungs

Here are a bunch of tunes that we’ve meant to post about for a while, but wanted to do them a bit more justice too than it turns out we’re able. It is the regular refrain of blogs like ours we know, but it doesn’t make it feel like any less of a cop out to not find the time to write these up properly. … Continue reading Wednesday’s Pick ‘n’ Mix Selection
We first became aware of the marvellously named Slug Guts via the last Insound monthly mix and a top tune titled Town Tied. Slug Guts hail from the barren, heat stricken confines of Brisbane, Australia, apparently a town as desolate as it is depressing and suburban. In the first four months of the band, Slug Guts recorded their first LP Down on the Meat, and … Continue reading Introducing…Slug Guts
Ferocious trash-blues stompers Left Lane Cruiser will release their new album, Junkyard Speed Ball on Alive Records on 1st March. It will be out on CD, limited vinyl, and digital formats.

Evans IV (guitar/vocals) and Brenn “Sausage Paw” Beck (drummer/percussion/vocals) they effortlessly mix southern-fried blues, garage, and brutal punk riffs into one glorious whiskey and gasoline soaked whole. The album is … Continue reading Left Lane Cruiser’s New Album
