Sleazy punk-blues duo My Goodness hail from Seattle and manage to drum up a fantastic cacophony of noise. They have just released their self-titled debut album on the excellent Sarathan Records. We have a taste for you in the shape of C’mon Doll and all the ingredients you want are present and correct: reverb, greasy blues riffs, distortion, impassioned lyrics and attitude – all wrapped … Continue reading Introducing…My Goodness
Cardiff based band The Keys release their first full length album Bitten By Wolves on 2nd May through See Monkey Do Monkey Recordings. Since receiving a copy in the post we have been playing it a lot – an awful lot. It is a record that cleverly mixes 60s inspired psych rock and crunchy guitars with some more modern style jangle pop and some tasty … Continue reading Introducing…The Keys
Brontosaurus’ debut LP, Cold Comes To Claim, will be released this spring. This bombastic LP runs the gamut – from sweeping grandeur to math-induced freak-outs. Imagine if you will, two guys who came of age with prog and classical, then transposed that aesthetic into subdued, grainy garage pop. A US tour in support of the album will start this summer during which many arguments about … Continue reading Introducing…Brontosaurus

Gardens are the latest in the long line of garage bands to come swaggering out of Detroit – and they don’t let the side down. Maze Time is the advance track from their forthcoming self-titled debut album and it is a cracker. While in some ways it feels like it could easily have been plucked from the halcyon days of 60s psychedelia with its bluesy … Continue reading Introducing…Gardens
The Graceful Slicks make a perfect follow-on from today’s Night Beats post being the meandering jam (pun intended) in the Night Beat’s rumbling sonic sandwich. They are a relatively new band and hail from our own home town of Oxford. We received a cool looking demo CD in the post and having seen some nice words about them from our friend Ronan (who runs Oxford’s … Continue reading Introducing…The Graceful Slicks
Any number of bands cite 60’s Texas psych as an influence, but rarely does a group actually capture what made those bands special. Following their debut EP on Trouble In Mind (which we posted here), The Night Beats have expanded on the bedroom immediacy of their first recordings to create an LP that perfectly captures and modernizes the hallucinogenic and exhilaratingly demonic aura of bands like The … Continue reading New Single From The Night Beats

Girlfriends hail from Boston and have just released their latest 7″ via Black Bell Records titled Cave Kids and backed with Eat Around The Bad Parts. The single is simply one of the best slabs of psych infused, rumbling, garage rock we’ve heard in a good long while and has been soundtracking much of the last few days for us. The lyrics tick all the … Continue reading Girlfriends Release Cave Kids 7″
