Mad Mackerel Recommends… Dream Wife

London based musicians Alice, Bella and Icelandic singer Rakel formed Dream Wife at art school in Brighton. They are a wonderfully visceral proposition – imagine a mix of hardcore punk and glam rock, but shot through with a pop and disco mentality. They have shared a new track FUU featuring a guest rap appearance from Fever Dream (ex-Reykjavíkurdætur). The song is a furious, raucous ball of energetic and grizzled guitar … Continue reading Mad Mackerel Recommends… Dream Wife

Introducing >>> Spoilers

We’re really enjoying No Pressure taken from London-based garage outfit Spoilers’ upcoming debut LP Anti Vibe. Drawing inspiration from motorik krautrock rhythms as well as the likes of Fugazi and Sonic Youth, it recalls the punchier elements of Dischord Records post-hardcore; melding everything together into a spaced-out grunge gumbo. Anti Vibe is out On November 11th and can be pre-ordered here.   Catch them live: 10 … Continue reading Introducing >>> Spoilers

The Oscillation – Almost See

The Oscillation have shared Almost See, their dark, brooding contribution to a forthcoming split single with Portuguese psych trio 10,000 Russos, officially released November 24th on Fuzz Club. Almost See is brooding psych at it’s best, propelled by an unremitting gothic bass-line that roils through a sinister wash of celestial noise, stabs of fuzzed-out guitars, inaudible murmurs and discordant synths. It all makes for an eerily … Continue reading The Oscillation – Almost See

Nickel In The Jukebox (Vol. 25)

The in-box overfloweth with new tunes, videos and music of every variety. Even once we’ve deleted the electro-trance-house-mash-up-rave-bangers and all the shitty remixes there are still far too many good tracks to share with you. Here are ten of them – from baroque pop to slacker indie rock and from pastoral Americana to garage punk. An eclectic digital jukebox and something for anyone with a modicum … Continue reading Nickel In The Jukebox (Vol. 25)

Introducing >>> Gang

Arriving in a haze of mystic fuzz and tangled dirge-pop, Brighton trio Gang will release their wonderfully macabre new 7” single, Dead / Enough Nothing, on November 25th via Ra-Ra Rok Records. There are echoes of everything from Sabbath’s portentous doom-metal to Dinosaur Jr’s brawny distortion and Wand’s sludgy psych rock, but deconstructed and reapplied in a new, uncompromising and somewhat ferocious way… Have a listen.   Continue reading Introducing >>> Gang
