Mega Round Up (Part 1)

We’ve been catching up (again) on some new tunes and, well frankly, there are just too many of the bloody things. Here are a few of the loud / fast / brutal / noisy ones we’ve really liked from the last month or so, and there’ll be a few more (quieter ones) tomorrow. So here we go… The Hives are back with new single Good … Continue reading Mega Round Up (Part 1)

Meatraffle – The Day The Earth Stood Still

Famed for their wall of sound, and notoriously difficult to label (they themselves describe their music as “psychedelic, socialist, utopian, death raga, erroneous funk, trapdoor jazz, bastard muzak“), the origins of Meatraffle are lost in obscurity although it has been said that they came about as the result of a drunken afternoon shared by Clams Baker and Zsa Zsa Sapien in a South London Wetherspoon … Continue reading Meatraffle – The Day The Earth Stood Still

Sudakistan – Automaton

Also out now via PNKSLM is Sudakistan’s brilliant new 7″ Automaton/Quiero Ser Tu Perro. Released on the 24th May, we’ve already shared the B side (a marvellous Iggy & The Stooges cover in Spanish), and the A side is equally good – a storming, irresistible slab of psych infused garage rock. Listen here. Buy it here.   Sud Continue reading Sudakistan – Automaton

Sleep Eaters – Holy Days EP

London based country-infused rock quintet Sleep Eaters will soon unveil their EP Holy Days on 9th August  via Stockholm’s ever reliable PNKSLM Recordings. We were excited by their debut single Ghost on Fire last year and if anything Bad Love from the new EP is even better. It follows on from first taster Don’t Sell Your Soul and both are brilliant country-infused takes on garage rock. … Continue reading Sleep Eaters – Holy Days EP

Left Lane Cruiser – The Waltz

Raw blues duo Left Lane Cruiser are back with a new record, Shake and Bake – meaning another tasty helping of their lowdown, sleaze-ridden garage blues. The Waltz is the latest track shared from the record and it is a heavy-duty monolith of fuzzy, fried rock’n’roll, just like the devil intended. Give it a spin here. The album is out on the 31st May via Alive NaturalSound … Continue reading Left Lane Cruiser – The Waltz

The Paranoyds – Hungry Sam

Los Angeles-based gritty, garage rock four-piece The Paranoyds have signed to Suicide Squeeze, and they will release a 7-inch this summer. Hungry Sam / Trade Our Sins will be out on July 12th, and the new track is a binge-worthy feast of chugging guitars and belly-rounded drums that stands as a live show favourite for the band. Watch the riotous video / stream it here.   … Continue reading The Paranoyds – Hungry Sam

New Single From Bee Bee Sea

Back at the beginning of last year we posted Italian glam-punk stompers Bee Bee Sea’s brilliant This Dog Is The King Of Losers. Now they’re back with a new single Be Bop Palooza, which is another insanely catchy riffola of a tune –  a powerful, motorik rhythm that opens to a sticky chorus enriched with falsetto singing, while singer Wilson Wilson tells about his struggles … Continue reading New Single From Bee Bee Sea
