New Dirtbombs Album

We’ve been fans of Detroit’s Dirtbombs since we first came across their two excellent albums released at the start of the millennium, Ultraglide In Black and Dangerous Magical Noise. Unconventional garage punks, equally at home mixing in soul, R&B and surf-pop as they are covering techno classics, their latest album is Ooey Gooey Chewy Ka-Blooey. And as if the title didn’t give it away, this time they are … Continue reading New Dirtbombs Album

New Album From Left Lane Cruiser

Good news! Left Lane Cruiser’s Freddy J IV and Brenn Beck are back with a new album of voodoo hillbilly punk-blues, Rock Them Back To Hell. By all accounts they’ve matured a bit too, adding harmonica, organ and even something they term trash percussion (that’ll be battering the bejesus out of cardboard boxes, paint tins, trash cans then). In truth the boys live up to every … Continue reading New Album From Left Lane Cruiser

Introducing Mickey Gloss

Mickey Gloss left the east coast of Australia for London amidst the chaos and disorder of the riots in summer 2011. Signposting all of that anarchy and energy is excellent lead single Are You Happy?, where wry social commentary meets punk DIY and garage psychedelia in a distillation of antipodean sun and London melancholia. It sounds like it comes straight from 1978, and we love it all … Continue reading Introducing Mickey Gloss

New Single From The Eagulls

The wonderful Eagulls are purveyors of some of the sharpest, smartest and most opinionated music around at the moment. Punk riffs and swagger combine with slacker inspired indie melodies to create an output that is hypnotic as it is propulsive and raucous. Listen to the concise, concentrated blast of new single Nerve Endings, a ringing, urgent pop song with jagged hooks and serrated vocals. Marvellous. Out on … Continue reading New Single From The Eagulls
