The Pharmacy’s charming blend of indie garage pop bliss has featured a few times on MM. The band’s latest release, the first since 2012’s Stoned & Alone, Spells was written in a cabin in Big Sur and recorded in the basement of a used car museum in downtown Tacoma, with each of its raw, psych-tinged tracks laid down live. The band have just offered up … Continue reading The Pharmacy – Anna Bella
Dameht is The Mad spelt backwards, appropriate enough for this trio of New York natives. Listen to The Greek, a most promising excursion into indie rock, with an anthemic undertone that is bursting to get out. . . Continue reading MM Shorts 580: Dameht
In honour of England’s apocalyptic, winner-takes-all style clash with Uruguay in Brazil kicking off about now, we have that rarest of treasures, a half-decent football song for you to listen to (and for our friends over the water, that is proper football – the one with the round ball). It comes from 3D Shark, a punky kind of gent from Belfast, winningly described as “like … Continue reading Introducing >>> 3D Shark

Most Ghouls Agree is the second track from Truthers’ upcoming 7″ single – to be released on July 8th. Truthers have become known for their 50s and 60s style of shoegaze pop music laden with staccato guitar riffs and breezy, sing-along falsetto hooks – typically strung together in ominous discord. The new single begins with a simple, airy, and open feel that quickly fills out … Continue reading MM Shorts 579: Truthers
Got A Girl have just revealed the whimsical video to Did We Live Too Fast – the duo play a married couple exploring comedically unconventional sexual kinks in an effort to spice up their relationship. Born of – but not limited to – their ardour for the gauche French pop of the 1960s, Got A Girl are at turns pillowy and demure, sharp and seductive, with a … Continue reading New Video: Got A Girl – Did We Live Too Fast
The Growlers took the phrase “Beach Goth” as an apt descriptor of their music. Sunburned and salty, that term perfectly describes their distinctive melding of reverb heavy surf guitar and Bakersfield-style honky tonk with ‘80s post-punk. This is especially true of Chinese Fountain, the band’s fifth full-length set to be released on September 23rd via Everloving Records. Eleven songs that finely hone their gypsy folk dirges and … Continue reading New Growlers Album
Here is another excellent track from Hyde & Beast. Keep Moving is the title track from their forthcoming second album, which can be pre-ordered from iTunes here. The glam rock influences remain to the fore, but the vocals sound like they come straight out of Laurel Canyon circa 1970 – it is a beguiling mix of styles! . Continue reading More From Hyde & Beast

Brooklyn-based fuzzcore rockers, Mount Sharp, have shared their new single Icarus taken from their forthcoming six track EP, Weird Fears, which drops this August via YK Records. First impressions are of a classic indie track of melody and distortion, but one that takes the summery feel and infects it with an eerie tinge that tips it over into territory that is delightfully uneasy. Perhaps the most discombobulating song … Continue reading Mount Sharp – Icarus
