Long standing MM faves, Madison, WI’s psych punk duo The Hussy have released a free download of new track, Blame, from their forthcoming third LP, Pagan Hiss, slated for release on May 7th via Southpaw Records. The band’s sophomore LP, Weed Seizure, turned many heads, including ours, with its wicked array of pummeling drums and swirling guitars. Just a year later, we have Pagan Hiss: 14 … Continue reading New Album From The Hussy
Sydney’s The Money Go Round have a sound that is a modern, and frankly pretty intriguing, spin on 60s psychedelic and surf rock, with a swampy yet melodic edge. The release of their debut single YAYAYA saw them pick up some immediate attention and they will follow this up on May 3rd with the release of their excellent tripped-out new single Endless Sun. By our reckoning … Continue reading Introducing >>> The Money Go Round
We’re loving this track from Brass Bed’s forthcoming third long player The Secret Will Keep You out next week on Crossbill Records. Please Don’t Go is three minutes of infectious indie-rock perfection with a soupçon of garage rock attitude that calls to mind the best of Dr Dog or perhaps Modest Mouse. Either way, the pounding percussion, soaring chorus and nagging organ line are irresistible. Party on! … Continue reading MM Shorts 357: Brass Bed
We’re loving this, the first taste from Hooded Fang’s forthcoming album Gravez. Graves is the ultra catchy, fuzzy album opener, “So many faces and they’re all the same… why you lookin’ at me?”, it is a perfect mix of paranoid tripped out psych-pop and garage rock. Gravez is out 27th May (UK) / 28th May (USA) on Full Time Hobby. Continue reading MM Shorts 355: Hooded Fang’s Graves
Swedish garage punks Holograms placed themselves firmly on our radar last year with the release of their blistering self-titled debut album via Captured Tracks. The follow-up will be called Forever and is due for release in September again on Captured Tracks. The first single from it is called Flesh and Bone, and it is every bit as dramatic and intense as you could wish for – … Continue reading New From Holograms

Sharkmuffin is back with a new five track EP, She-Gods of Champagne Valley. The infectious trio that hails from (where else?) the Brooklyn music scene, channel the brilliant Riot Grrrl acts of years passed, but paired perfectly with heavy 1970s inspired guitar riffs that create a raw sound that is not to be messed with. Smart, sassy, short and sweet, Sharkmuffin are focused 100% on good … Continue reading More From Sharkmuffin
