Landlady – Above My Ground

We’re pretty taken with this track, Above My Ground by Landlady. It has been around for a while, but now newly signed to Hometapes, it is getting a new lease of life ahead of a summer album. It is described as a ‘disarming singalong anthem‘, which seems pretty accurate to us, though there is something distinctly oddball about it too, in a good way of … Continue reading Landlady – Above My Ground

Mad Mackerel Recommends… Broken Twin

So, contrast and compare scrappy indie jangle from Such Hounds, gentle intricate harmonies from The Sea The Sea, tough, catchy garage from The Coathangers, fevered, intense pop from Rare Monks, and … Continue reading Videos of the Day: The Coathangers || Reverend Horton Heat || The Sea The Sea || Such Hounds || Rare Monk

Whalers – Chrome Ocean

A little while ago we ran a 5:1 Interview with reverb loving surf-rocking band Whalers who will imminently be releasing their new album Submarine Sun. In it, they nominated Chrome Ocean as one song of theirs they’d like to still be played in fifty years time. Now they’ve shared it with the world as the second single from the album and you can hear exactly why they chose … Continue reading Whalers – Chrome Ocean
