New Year Round Up (Part 4)

Another of our round-ups of songs we should have posted from the end of 2017. Restless was a stomping single from Brooklyn-based folk rocker Common Jack. It’s anthemic take on Americana draws favourable comparisons to Lumineers, Neil Young and The Avett Brothers.   Swedish indie rockers Francobello shared Future Lover, which rises and falls, building to a crescendo of gorgeous harmonies and ferocious guitar runs.   LA-based Space-Psych … Continue reading New Year Round Up (Part 4)

New Year Round Up (Part 3)

Yep, the good stuff from last year keeps on coming… This time, we begin with Flesh from post-punk duo Chastity, a chaotic, antagonistic and downright eerie single released way back in October.   Cut Worms (a.k.a. Max Clarke) shared Song of the Highest Tower, a seven minute track that combines a poignant, nostalgic Americana with classic Roy Orbison style licks.   At the other end of the musical … Continue reading New Year Round Up (Part 3)

New Year Round Up (Part 2)

The second instalment rounding up some tunes we missed from the tail end of 2017. Let’s kick off with Yowl’s relentless and uneasy Darkroom, a wonderfully vicious and febrile slice of post-punk.   Night Herons’ raw sound is a visceral blend of garage rock and chugging proto-punk – for fans of classic bands like The Stooges or the New York Dolls.   Norwegian psych-rockers Electric Eye’s single Sometimes … Continue reading New Year Round Up (Part 2)

MM’s Best of 2017: Mrs Mackerel

Our final personal list of the year is from the fairest, and finest, of fishes… Mrs Mackerel. 2017: probably a year when I’ve listened to the least new music in recent times, so this is very much a short list in all senses. Life – and death – gets in the way sometimes. 10 PINS – Serve the Rich It’s no surprise that Jamie Hince … Continue reading MM’s Best of 2017: Mrs Mackerel

MM’s Best of 2017: Mad Mackerel

The third of our personal countdowns… 20 Metz – Drained Lake Angular, ear-piercing and provocative. Imagine the clatter of early Sonic Youth brought up to warp speed.   19 Cabbage – Fraudulent Artist Cabbage’s Extended Play of Cruelty was our EP of the year by a country mile – a collection of brilliantly acerbic, witty and spiky tunes. Fraudulent Artist is a furious, up-tempo rant that … Continue reading MM’s Best of 2017: Mad Mackerel
