The Top 200 – Mad Mackerel’s favourite songs of the last ten years (Part 1)

Mad Mackerel has been around for ten years now. We’ve come a long way. Early days using Google’s blogspot where our posts were regularly and erroneously taken down through DMCA notices until the moment when Google just erased us completely, our move to WordPress in April 2010 where Kurt Vile, Beach Fossils, Johnny Flynn and Band of Horses were among our first posts. Those were … Continue reading The Top 200 – Mad Mackerel’s favourite songs of the last ten years (Part 1)

Introducing >>> Teenage Cavegirl

Austin, Texas boy/girl duo Teenage Cavegirl offer exactly what their name says they should. The tribal drums and trash-pop guitar lines combine to create a deceptively simple slab of primal garage rock. Throw in some plaintive lyrics, an anthemic chorus and wrap it all up in under two minutes. Job done! Watch the video and order from Bandcamp below.     Continue reading Introducing >>> Teenage Cavegirl

Mad Mackerel Recommends… The Cavemen

New Zealand punks The Cavemen will release their third full-length album, Nuke Earth, on 6th April via Slovenly Recordings. Like the band’s past releases, it features a mix of rowdy punk and raw, scuzzy garage rock, made up of frantic vocals, screeching guitars, and infectious riffs. Their high octane new single Janey is one of its catchiest cuts, packing plenty of sing-along melodies into just two-and-a-half ferocious … Continue reading Mad Mackerel Recommends… The Cavemen

New Video: Table Scraps – I’m A Failure

We’re big fans of Table Scraps’ fuzzed-up, scuzzy rock’n’roll that draws as much from Dinosaur Jr as it does the Cramps or even Suicide. Excellent new single I’m A Failure (from just released, and also excellent long player Autonomy), comes with a top notch sock-puppet video. And frankly anyone who doesn’t love a sock puppet doesn’t have a soul. Watch it here.     Continue reading New Video: Table Scraps – I’m A Failure
