I know we’re late to it and I don’t quite know how we missed it, but Fat White Family’s single Breaking Into Aldi is a brilliantly sleazy slice of anarchic indie that manages to be both depraved and deprived. And all at the same time! It is their first new material since their second album Songs For Our Mothers, and the single is backed by … Continue reading Fat White Family’s New Single
C-Side is the latest single from Wytches (which we posted here), and without getting into too much of a muddle, the B-Side to C-Side is this track Hannover Square. But never mind all that – it is more black-hearted, gothic tinged psych-rock that majors on the sleazy side of good old rock’n’roll… Stream it here. Continue reading The Wytches – Hannover Square

It has been too long since we last heard from Terry Malts, but after three long years, the SF punk trio have announced their third LP, Lost At The Party, will be out on the 14th October via Slumberland Records.

Here is a second track from Emma Ruth Rundle’s forthcoming long player Marked For Death which is out at the end of September. Protection is a track that juxtaposes a haunting melody against swathes of guitar noise to create something that is as vulnerable as it is powerful. Have a listen. Continue reading More From Emma Ruth Rundle
Queens, NY-based trio Raccoon Fighter has shared a second single, Adderall, marking the release of their new EP Hover Craft. A blend of polished punk, psychedelia and lo-fi, fuzzy, garage bliss, it is a follow up to the excellent LVLR. Listen to both below. Continue reading Mad Mackerel Recommends… Raccoon Fighter
Philadelphia duo The Afterglows have released a self-titled album of lo-fi indie rock that has nods to power-pop, punk and a kind of warped, mournful Americana. Available on a pay-what-you-want deal from Bandcamp, it is a fine listen that we’re thoroughly enjoying.

Ten years ago in the woodsy city of Everett, Washington, five friends banded together to form The Moondoggies. A northwest Americana band whose 2008 debut full-length Don’t Be A Stranger was a much-loved fave of MM’s right back in the earliest days of Mad Mackerel. On 7th October, the record will finally be made available on vinyl for the first time via Hardly Art (pre-order here). The double … Continue reading Moondoggies Release Don’t Be A Stranger on Vinyl.
