Seeing Shapes is the excellent new single from Teen Creeps, it overflows with fast paced guitar riffs and frantic drumming. It is taken from upcoming album Forever, which is out January 22nd on PIAS Recordings The Belgian based 3-piece love the 90s, and their sound is a high five to the fuzzy guitars, melancholic vocals and fast-paced drums of era defining bands like Dinosaur Jnr., … Continue reading Introducing >>> Teen Creeps

LA’s Death Valley Girls have always sought to wield their musical magic like ancient mystics, creating psychic bonds with willing ears through the medium of their fiery rock n’ roll. On the surface, previous albums like Glow in the Dark and Darkness Rains were rowdy mash-ups of early American punk, sun-baked psych rock, and proto-metal fire-and-brimstone guitar worship, yet there was always an undercurrent of … Continue reading Death Valley Girls – Under the Spell Of Joy
Cabbage have descended from the misted Pennines once more to release a wiry tribute to the nerve-jarring electricity of their home city. Get Outta My Brain chases the shadows of Shaun Ryder and the fast burning focus of his late-90s Black Grape-era, cutting gonzo punk fuzz with sharp-focus lyrical intent to affect an intravenous dose of similarly streetwise intellectualism. It is a taster from upcoming … Continue reading New Single From Cabbage

Oakland trio Low Praise have released a new single, Angela. It is a catchy, post-punk anthem whose nervous energy and chanting hooks recall late ’70s acts such as The Fall and early Wire as well as the more contemporary Protomartyr. Give it a spin – well worth a listen. Continue reading Low Praise – Angela
Glasgow’s newest post-punk exports Dead Pony have shared a fiery new single, Sharp Tongues, which is out today. It is just under three minutes of furious, raging guitars, brutal percussion and vocals that drip with contempt. So, all in all, pretty fine stuff. Give it a spin. Continue reading Mad Mackerel Recommends… Dead Pony
The Wytches have announced details for their third album Three Mile Ditch. The record is described as an explosive collection of 10 tracks that weaves between gut-wobbling monster riffs, swampy rock, slick surf, and finely tuned song craft. A love of classic songwriting from Bob Dylan to Elliott Smith via Big Star’s Alex Chilton can be heard reverberating throughout the record; the result is a blend … Continue reading The Wytches Announce Three Mile Ditch
It has been more than four years since we posted anything from Scottish duo Man Of Moon. But at long last they are back with details of a long, long overdue debut album, Dark Sea, recorded in a cottage overlooking prehistoric mountain structures on Loch Fyne – it’s these monolithic structures the Scottish duo tap into on first brilliant single Strangers using heavy motorik beats, … Continue reading Man Of Moon – Strangers
