Six minutes of guitar riffing stoner rock coming right up. twitter-follow screen_name=’madmackerel’] Continue reading Hot Knives – Cosmogony (Seed of Creation)
I have to confess that WordPress have changed their editor for posting content and I absolutely loathe and hate it. It absolutely takes away any ounce of enjoyment from the process and basically has been the reason for my lack of posts recently. I hear a song – think great, I’ll share it – then think I can’t face doing it right now on the … Continue reading Some Tunes (at last)

We recently shared the lovely, wistful track Gone from Painted Shrines new album Heaven And Holy. The record is a collaboration between Jeremy Earl (Woods) & Glenn Donaldson (Skygreen Leopards, The Reds, Pinks & Purples) who met sometime in the mid-aughts and bonded over a love of tambourines and DIY sounds.

Brooklyn-based trio Hot Knives have shared their lead single Static Bloom, taken from upcoming long player Making Love To Make Music To Make Love To. Part MC5, part Butthole Surfers, part Funkadelic, the band create a face-melting blend of joyfully trippy nostalgia adding noisy bedroom punk freakouts to the kind of vivid electric psychedelia that ruled the hippy airwaves in the late sixties. Stream it below … Continue reading Hot Knives – Static Bloom
Another band who made it into the top end of our best of 2020 lists, Manchester quintet Suave Martyrs expertly blend elements of ‘60s West Coast rock, baggy indie and jangly psychedelia. Their latest single Cascades of Gold is four minutes of blissed out technicolour Madchester inspired freakadelia, falling somewhere in between the Stone Roses and a particularly enjoyable dose of mushrooms. With a narrative built around “two … Continue reading New Single From Suave Martyrs

Though it pains me to say it, I was unaware that longstanding MM favourite Wooden Wand had permanently given up the moniker and is now simply Jimmyjack Toth. Even more so when I realised that he had just released a fourth volume of Toth’s Law – after a gap of just over three years. The digital liner notes (if such a thing can exist) on … Continue reading Jimmyjack Toth – Toth’s Law Volume 4
