Here is the second track to surface from Tacocat’s forthcoming full length release NVM. We’ve already given you the breezy summer-punk of Bridge To Hawaii, and Crimson Wave picks up where that left off – being (apparently) an ode to dealing with periods (gives the title a whole different meaning). Thankfully it is done in a celebratory manner which means riding a surf-pop wave of … Continue reading Tacocat – Crimson Wave
Suck My Shirt is the rather intriguing title of the scheduled new album from The Coathangers who featured prominently in our Best Tracks of 2013 lists with their excellent single Adderall. For this latest record (their fourth long-player), the quartet have reduced to a trio and lost their keyboards. However, the sassy, infectious attitude remains the same as demonstrated by the first taste, and album … Continue reading The Coathangers – Suck My Shirt
Despite the slightly suspect name, Tweens sit just the right side of precocious with their bratty, lo-fi garage rock jams that swirl the Ramones, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Bay Area punks The Donnas, The Trashwomen and the Bobbyteens into one righteous slab of thrash-tinged trash-pop. Check out Be Mean below, they will release their self-titled debut in early April. . Continue reading MM Shorts 509: Tweens

We have to confess that Kitten Grenade first caught our attention only because of a show they were playing with The Sad Bastard Book Club, a band who once (long ago) wrote a most excellent short story about MM, in which gratifyingly we died. Anyway, turns out Kitten Grenade are a duo providing a most engaging brand of ukelele led, melancholy tinged minimalist indie-pop. Rather … Continue reading Introducing >>> Kitten Grenade

Come with us and hitch your coat-tails to New Electric Ride’s heady mix of catchy, lysergic fuelled psych-pop that flows unabated through their forthcoming album Balloon Age. Channeling everything that was good about the psychedelic revolution of the 60s – the whig-outs, the drop-outs and the love-ins – the band expertly twist Byrdsian jangle and Beatles grooves into a wonderful, dizzying cocktail of melody and … Continue reading Introducing >>> New Electric Ride
