They released their self-titled debut back in 2010 and a follow-up, Anyway, is set for release in late 2013. In the meantime, latest single Alison is a real grower – … Continue reading Introducing >>> Immigrant Union
Mackerel love sardines, and so it seemed entirely fitting that we should become so taken with the lo-fi, psychedelic-tinged folk of The Lunchtime Sardine Club (aka Oliver Newton). This track, I’m… Jesuschristmaam, which draws understandable comparisons with artists such as Sufjan Stevens, is taken from forthcoming album Icecapades, which sees a release on August 12th, via the Sonic Anhedonic Recording Co label. The album is a wonderfully unique collection of … Continue reading Mad Mackerel Loves The Lunchtime Sardine Club
Washington DC’s Shark Week’s forthcoming AA-side 7″ is being released by Analog Edition Records on July 30th. Hearkening back to the glory days of rock ‘n roll, the band distill the raw energy of punk and infuse it with a hip-shaking garage pop sound. Throw in a gravelly baritone, screeching guitar solos, jangly guitar leads, pulsating bass rhythms and pounding drums, and the results are a ramshackle, … Continue reading Shark Week’s Santurce Single

Terry Malts’ brand-new platter, Nobody Realizes This Is Nowhere, is being released on 10th September, once again on Slumberland Records.

Shotgun Preacher is a free taster from the new album 60 More Miles by Ottawa’s Kings Of Lowertown. It takes a classic dirt-blues riff that wouldn’t have been out of place on the Doors’ LA Woman, and layers some distorted vocals over the top to provide just over two and a half minutes of visceral rock ‘n’ roll. Listen / click through to download it … Continue reading MM Shorts 406: Kings Of Lowertown
