Mrs Mackerel’s TFI Friday (6th July)
Well, Jesus may not want me for a sunbeam, but Beth Jeans Houghton has made me an honorary Hoof of Destiny. That tops all previous great life achievements, barring children/childbirth I think. I have been balancing on four coconut shells ever since, eating from a nosebag, rejecting my piscine ways and embracing the equine style. There are now plenty of flies on me, but none … Continue reading Mrs Mackerel’s TFI Friday (6th July)
Introducing >>> Wake Up Lucid
Wake Up Lucid is a LA based three piece band of cousins that combines sex-drenched vocals, high octane guitar, and a glorious lo-fi sludge that is garage rock at its purest and most dangerous. More grime than the Black Keys and far more savage than The White Stripes, their 2011 Sugar EP was described by Rolling Stone as “raunchy rock at it’s best”. Their debut … Continue reading Introducing >>> Wake Up Lucid

The track we have for you is called Penitentiary and is about as good a slab of rolling, easy paced Americana as we’ve heard in a good long while, with a chorus that recalls classic era Band and boy/girl harmonies that are … Continue reading Introducing…Houndmouth

Mad Mackerel Recommends…The Young Evils
We picked a whole bunch of tracks we’d been sent over the past few weeks from new bands (to us anyway) and stuck them on a playlist to see what would jump out at us. First to make a showing was the infectiously catchy, but dark-hearted indie rock of Seattle’s The Young Evils with a couple of tracks from their new EP Foreign Spells. There is a … Continue reading Mad Mackerel Recommends…The Young Evils
Free Music You Should Have!
Here are a few freebies that you need to have! Firstly, Noisetrade have another offering well worth an e-mail address. We became aware of The Ludlow Thieves thanks to Debbie in New York who recommended them via their free EP – theirs is a grand American vision told with a rustic, dusty charm. It was described by Debbie as “sounds like U2 accompanied with an orchestra and … Continue reading Free Music You Should Have!
