Hurray For Hardly Art. New Single From Hunx
We got a first ever e-mail from Hardly Art yesterday, which pleased us greatly as they are one of our favourite labels around. And frankly we’ve been sent so much “electro banging mash-up dance disco pop bpm” shite over the past few weeks (do these people that send it not actually look at the blog first? There would be more chance of Anne Frank playing … Continue reading Hurray For Hardly Art. New Single From Hunx
A Few We Missed…
Here are a few tracks that we’d meant to post, but for some inexplicable reason (well, time mostly…) we never got round to putting up at the time when they were new. Yet running through the long list we keep of mp3s, streams and videos, these were all in the “should post” category. They go back a couple of months (for some of them anyway), … Continue reading A Few We Missed…
Mad Mackerel Recommends…GravelRoad
GravelRoad are perhaps best known as T Model Ford’s band but they prove themselves more than capable of going it alone and kicking out a mean set of psychedelic garage blues on new album Psychedelta.

We’ve posted a couple of times recently about the glorious, exhilarating fuzzed-up pop of Beast Make Bomb and they now have a new self-released EP out called Sourpuss and it has cover art that will delight Mrs M. Giveaway track Coney Island is another shimmering slice of indie rock played out against a backdrop of old-school punk attitude. It’s slightly slower, given a bit more … Continue reading MM Shorts 151: More From Beast Make Bomb
Mad Mackerel Recommends Monsters From Mars
Monsters From Mars is, perhaps unsurprisingly given the name, a surf/garage rock band from San Diego, CA. Formed in 2001, over the years they have put out various self-released DIY CD-Rs and a 7″ out on Tic Tac Totally, which includes an instrumental surf cover of Britney Spears‘s Toxic. Way back in 2006 they recorded a couple tracks for a split 7″ with their friends in The Creepy Creeps, but label … Continue reading Mad Mackerel Recommends Monsters From Mars

So many new releases, so little time. Here are a few guaranteed to brighten up a Friday. Loving this new track, Yatton from Beak> in all its hypnotic, krautrock inspired glory. From a new album due in the summer. a In a similar vein, Arc In Round’s self-titled debut LP, being released June 26, by La Société Expéditionnaire, reflects a sensibility garnered from endless hours of … Continue reading New Releases Round Up
