Here is another collection of just some of the notable new tunes that have come our way recently…we’re still catching up, so expect some more posts like this over the next few days. Kicking off with Nightingale Floors which will be the fifth album from indie duo Rogue Wave. This is the first taste from it, a mighty fine track titled College. . We also … Continue reading Another Round Up
A gentler Thee Oh Sees anyone? A more reflective Ty Segall? Yes? Try Owl Fly South, a more than promising four-piece garage/psych/pop outfit from UCLA. This is their new song Blink (Incandescent Days). Download Owl Fly South – Blink (Incandescent Days) mp3 (from Blink/Castle) Continue reading MM Shorts 341: Owl Fly South
We have previously featured The Graveyard Kids on MM, and by coincidence (the newly reformed) God Tiny contains all the members of that band. They have put up a brand new track, Fearless, on a pay-what-you-like deal on their Bandcamp page and while it is by their own admission a “rough self-produced” single, it oozes primal garage rock and psych-blues creds in a way that … Continue reading MM Shorts 340: God Tiny
We’re still rounding up all those new releases, new tunes, good tunes, and more to keep your day as varied and joyous as ours…Ha! And so we have another ‘cop-out” post prompted by another fearsome backlog, which has once again kickstarted our anxiety over (a) failing to keep up, and (b) failing to give the appropriate time and text that these releases deserve and (c) … Continue reading More Rounding Up To Be Done
We missed Dirty Fences at SXSW and we’re kicking ourselves… The band refer to themselves as a gang and that mentality is evident in every razor sharp riff and perfectly executed harmony on Too High To Kross, an album that evokes early American rock and punk acts such as Red Kross, MC5, Johnny Thunders, The Ramones and The Stooges. However those names are just reference points … Continue reading New Album From Dirty Fences
Tyrannosaurus Dead are a lo-fi, fuzzed-up five-piece who have previously put out a four-track Lemonade EP on cassette last August. The band also self-released their debut self-titled three-song EP as a Bandcamp free download in 2011. New six track EP, Pure // Apart will be out in May, tho’ you can order now from Odd Box Records here. Alternatively, listen to two tracks from the EP … Continue reading Mad Mackerel Recommends…Tyrannosaurus Dead
Just over the past few days some of the big hitters and up and coming stars have dropped new tracks from much anticipated new albums. We have Primal Scream’s It’s Alright, It’s OK from More Light, all bongos, gospel choirs and Rolling Stones style funky rock ‘n’roll, Kurt Vile’s hazy Never Run Away from Wakin On A Pretty Daze and SXSW conquering Savages with their … Continue reading New From Kurt Vile, Primal Scream and Savages
Our selection today comes from indie-poppers Ace Reporter and their video for Untouched and Arrived featuring the exaggerated reality and dreams of a young boy. We also have two minutes of dark, brash, and violent film from the Thermals for new single Born To Kill and the neo-shoegaze of Splashh and their video for Need It. Lastly enjoy New York based psychedelic spacerock band White Hills’ … Continue reading Videos of the Day: Ace Reporter || The Thermals || Splashh || White Hills
Fragility is the tasty b-side to recent White Fence single Pink Gorilla and is another cracking example of their crackling, distorted garage rock. New album Cyclops Reap is due on 9th April. And the A-side. Continue reading MM Shorts 337: White Fence’s Fragility
Today’s videos are from our favourite southern fried country rockers The Futurebirds, Colleen Green as a cabbie in her new video for Taxi Driver, indie psych-rockers TOY’s video for latest single Heart Skips A Beat, and a 1990s VHS inspired video from The Men for I Saw Her Face, one of the moodier tracks from excellent new album New Moon. . . .
