At Last…New From The Felice Brothers… MM Rejoices

At last we have a first taste from the Felice Brothers forthcoming record Favorite Waitress. Appropriately enough it is called Cherry Licorice. It is a classic ragged, uptempo rocker that is sure to become a guaranteed live sing-a-long as couplets like “all the lady and gents, are covered in excrement”, and “the teacher slit my wrists, for every class I missed” are destined for a roaring … Continue reading At Last…New From The Felice Brothers… MM Rejoices

Free Swim – Meal For One

Free Swim’s Meal For One is a brilliant track of catchy indie insouciance, scalpel sharp lyrical minutiae, and overall inventive quirkiness that is rapidly becoming their trademark. This time the focus of their attention is on TV dinners and a long overdue homage to that British institution, actor Ian McShane…it is the sort of thing a vintage Morrissey might have produced if he hadn’t been from Manchester … Continue reading Free Swim – Meal For One

The Franklys – Puppet 7″

Today, Swedish/UK/US all girl quartet The Franklys are digitally releasing their debut single Puppet b/w Imaginarium on Electric Woods Records which is a twisted freakbeat flavoured 7” fiery rocket to the eardrums. The single is a freewheeling slab of garage-rock and 60s inspired Rhythm and Blues, combining raucous hooks, spiraling guitar lines and a tight and taught rhythm section that nods towards the British Invasion bands of … Continue reading The Franklys – Puppet 7″

The Dune Rats – Funny Guy

We love the party-lovin’, irreverent stoner-pop of Brisbane’s The Dune Rats and after a series of infectiously catchy EPs and single releases, they are gearing up for their debut self-titled long-player release via Ratbag Records in a couple of months time (on Dune 1st of course)! This is the first single, Funny Guy, two and a half more minutes of pumped up, guitar-fuelled garage rock that … Continue reading The Dune Rats – Funny Guy

RIP David Lamb

We were desperately, desperately sad to hear that Brown Bird’s David Lamb finally lost his year long battle with leukaemia this weekend. There is a lovely and eloquent statement on the band’s website from his partner MorganEve, and we can only add our own condolences for her loss – it is truly a tragic turn of events. For anyone who has stayed with MM for … Continue reading RIP David Lamb

Those Mockingbirds – A Ballad From Hell

Here are a couple of tracks from Those Mockingbirds who are a rock band consisting of all kinds of sounds like drums, guitars, more guitars, keyboards and violin. At times dirty and heavy, or ambient and unresolved. A Ballad From Hell is about Ouija boards being used to talk to dead prostitutes while Destroy My Love ploughs a rockier, more anthemic furrow… Have a listen. . … Continue reading Those Mockingbirds – A Ballad From Hell
