Like The Dune Rats, Theo Verney is high on our “must-see” list at the Great Escape Festival. He has given details on his impending new single, Sound Machine, to be released on Hate Hate Hate. Highlighted by its entrancing, introductory guitar lines that dip and drone into a 70s progressive groove-ridden feel, Sound Machine is a typically busy Theo Verney track that picks up exactly … Continue reading Free Download From Theo Verney

We’re throughly enjoying this EP from NYC’s Falling Birds, whose fuzzed up garage rock recalls the The Black Lips, but with a dash of Bright Eyes’ folky storytelling sensibilities and a smattering of classic rock’n’roll thrown in for good measure.

Described as “stories of desolation and commitment from a singlewide trailer on seventeen acres in Tennessee“, Americana artist Joseph LeMay’s debut full length release Seventeen Acres, is out on May 20th. Filled with tales dissecting the nuances of tenderness and uncertainty, Seventeen Acres aches with missed expectations and hope, yet is driven by love and all the desperation, fear and commitment that comes with it. He has also made … Continue reading Joseph LeMay – Seventeen Acres
Blessed Feathers are one of our favourite bands who regularly appear on MM, so we’re delighted to share their new track Huaycan Song #2, released by Honeytone Records as part of their ‘Singles Series‘ project. The song was written partly on a concrete rooftop outside of Lima, Peru, and partly in the various bedrooms and basements of their friends across Wisconsin. Needless to say it is a … Continue reading New From Blessed Feathers
