Mad Mackerel Recommends… The Velveteers

In celebration they’ve released their brand new video for EP highlight Anastasia Sings, a horror-fuelled theatrical nightmare-scape that serves as a perfect visual accompaniment to their psychedelic leanings.

Mad Mackerel Recommends… Tropical Fuck Storm

Australian outfit Tropical Fuck Storm, featuring a couple of members from The Drones have shared the video for The Future of History, taken from their upcoming Joyful Noise Recordings’ debut, A Laughing Death in Meatspace. Mixing art-rock, deconstructed punk skronk, and a kitchen sink full of ideas, wit and acerbic observation, the album is a great listen.

Adam Stone & Dead Sea Apes – (You Are) Doing What You Want (All Of The Time)

Loving this track from the upcoming album Warheads by Adam Stone & Dead Sea Apes The record is a full-length collaboration between the writer/artist and the Manchester instrumentalists. It takes classic British pessimism and speculative dystopian fiction and entwines it with morbid social commentary and a long piss-streak of bleak humour. They go on to describe the record as “Standing their ground in a dirty jumbled … Continue reading Adam Stone & Dead Sea Apes – (You Are) Doing What You Want (All Of The Time)

Gong Gong Gong – Siren 追逐劇

We’re loving this track from Beijing’s Gong Gong Gong who make driving, stripped-down transnational blues, tapping into the spirit of Bo Diddley, the Monks, and psychedelic music from West Africa to Southeast Asia. Shot-by-shot, frame-by-frame, Siren 追逐劇 is a story of galloping hooves and screeching tires—a horse and car racing each other through mountains and desert, charging into the city and all set to a thumping, … Continue reading Gong Gong Gong – Siren 追逐劇

Video Round Up

Here is our latest collection of musical films for you. A regular pot pourri of musical styles from Girl Skin’s gorgeously fragile chamber folk to Sit Down’s oozing amalgam of doom metal and sludgy punk by way of The Cavemen’s amphetamine-fueled rhythms and scorching guitar, coupled with drunk and disorderly vocal tirades, and First Aid Kit’s ever perfect vocal harmonies. There is Steve Mason’s soulful new … Continue reading Video Round Up

New Vulgarians single

We’ve featured Hull’s Vulgarians a few times on MM, ever since seeing them support TRAAMS in Oxford. A compelling mix of post-punk and psych-rock, the band’s excellent new single Dead People Are Easier To Love is their first new music since last year’s Almost Instinct, Almost True EP, and makes use of 80s synthesisers to add a new level of sonic urgency to their sound … Continue reading New Vulgarians single

Introducing >>> Rude Dude and the Creek Freaks

With an album cover like that, and a name like Rude Dude and the Creek Freaks, one would be entitled to expect some high octane, garage-psych of the highest order. Thankfully, this first release from the Savannah record shop, Graveface Records & Curiosities, delivers on all counts. Top banana as we like to say. Stream the marvellously named Dan Halen here, and preorder the vinyl or digital … Continue reading Introducing >>> Rude Dude and the Creek Freaks
