Video Round Up

So come with us a follow a path from the brilliantly louche, disaffected punk of Dilly Dally to the off-kilter urgency of Velcro Hooks by way of the mediative melancholy of Daniel Martin Moore, the energetic alt-country blues of Alex Culbreth, and the tripped out psychedelics of the Lucid Dream and plenty … Continue reading Video Round Up

MM Recommends… L.A. WITCH

The music of L.A. WITCH is raw and bloody, echoing of bad decisions through a thick, smoky haze of reverb. Veering between moody post-punk and blues-punk ballads, new single Drive Your Car is an exploration far beyond 2014’s fuzzed-out, lo-fi Get Lost. Explosive drumming and heavy basslines set the mood for reverb-drenched spaced-out guitar, and vocals reminiscent of a darker, more rebellious Mazzy Star. Often compared to … Continue reading MM Recommends… L.A. WITCH

Surly Gates – Lay Low

Austin’s Surly Gates offer up a most palatable mix of garage inspired psych-rock that sounds like it has been lying dormant waiting to be discovered since 1967. With some sweet harmonising, just the right amount of kaleidoscopic haze, and a nice ear for some out-there heavy rockin’, the five piece’s new album Lay Low is well worth checking out. Listen to the title track below, and … Continue reading Surly Gates – Lay Low
