With sister Sara on drums, the Dex Romweber Duo is a potent combo that’ll get your leg twitching with the beat and your … Continue reading Mad Mackerel Recommends…The Dex Romweber Duo

Mad Mackerel Recommends…Indian Wars

We may be a little late to the party as far as this one is concerned, but what a cracking track it is so we don’t care! Indian Wars are the band and 8 Feet High is the track – it is a swaggering, rolling, undeniably catchy track that somehow, and seemingly effortlessly, marries a rollicking country twang with the lip curling sonics of the Black … Continue reading Mad Mackerel Recommends…Indian Wars

Vivian Girls: Take It As It Comes mp3

Share The Joy by The Vivian Girls is an album of charming, ramshackle indie mixed with a sparkling pop sensibility that owes as much to the beachfronts and rock’n’roll diners of the 50s as it does the jangle pop heyday of the 80s. Take It As It Comes sits firmly in the former camp with a plaintive “all alone on a Saturday night” voiceover and … Continue reading Vivian Girls: Take It As It Comes mp3

New Single From Mono Stereo

Following on from the success of last year’s releases, Sweden’s Mono Stereo return with new single Girl, I Love You, released yesterday. It is a perfect, tie-dye infused summer anthem, bouncing along on a garage swing of distortion soaked guitar melodies before driving through the sixties hue that Mono Stereo have become renowned modern purveyors of, with the effortlessly infectious chorus proving impossible to not … Continue reading New Single From Mono Stereo
