Here are the annual choices of the past year’s top tuneage from the admirable Chris T Popper. 10. Protomartyr – Processed By The Boys The first song from their new album Ultimate Success Today was everything I’d been waiting for.

Bristol group LICE have released their new single Arbiter via their own label SETTLED LAW. The A side is woozy, disorientating and industrial, a brilliantly deranged savaging of modern day mindless fad-following that is menacing and confrontational and uncompromising – unlike so much else that is out there.

Bad Taste is the eye-popping debut from London-based anonymous dystopian-punk duo NRVS. Backed with the equally nihilistic The Teeth I Always Wanted, their music carries a blistering, in-your-face, anti-establishment quality that syphons perfectly through their distinct DIY punk sensibilities.

Cardiff’s post punk / grunge four piece Clwb Fuzz are a new discovery for us – we were trawling back through some old emails listening to stuff we’d not had a chance to check out and were very struck by the brooding intensity and menace of recently released single No Heaven, their first release on Libertino Records. Built on a darkly brooding bass line, purposive motorik … Continue reading Clwb Fuzz – No Heaven
Scuzzy garage-punk London four-piece Nothingheads have released their ferocious new single Cockroach 2051. The unhinged and epically heavy track follows recent release Topsy, and recalls the likes of The Jesus Lizard and The Membranes. The band tell us that “the idea for Cockroach 2051 all came from a film called The Very Brief Life of an Ember. A load of street kids takeover Manila in … Continue reading Mad Mackerel Recommends… Nothingheads
