It appears to have been originally released back in 2016, and then is due for a re-release on the 22nd July. Future 5-0 comes from a three track 7″ EP and is described as “sick synth-pop, imagine The Normal’s Warm Leatherette and a … Continue reading Introducing >>> AMERICAN NUDISM

We shared Brooklyn-based noise-rockers Russian Baths single Ambulance way back in March 2016, and now we are sharing What’s Your Basement, which is the second single off of their forthcoming, debut EP, Penance. It is a two minute blast of brilliantly queasy, discordant guitars and crushing percussion that has more than a taste of vintage Sonic Youth about it. Liking this… a lot.

Manchester trio The Longcut will release their new album Arrows on the 6th April. Musically sitting somewhere between utopia and dystopia, the band have constructed their own monolithic world as bittersweet as it is bleak. Behemoth of a lead single Deathmask is the perfect case in point – energetic, menacing and mesmerising, it is six minutes of urgent, brutalist experimental synth rock. And you should … Continue reading MM Shorts 995: The Longcut

Australia’s DZ Deathrays have unveiled a surreal video for new single Total Meltdown. In typical DZ style, the ridiculous video sees the duo turned into animated characters, fresh after a night out on the town, a chaotic series of events that perfectly encapsulates the raucous, thrash-party sound of the single. Watch it below. Continue reading New Video: DZ Deathrays – Total Meltdown
