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)

Alan’s Bed is taken from Rat Motel’s self-titled debut album, which you can get on a pay-what-you-want deal from Bandcamp here. It is a wholly satisfying two and half minutes of rattling, fuzzed-up garage punk that owes as much to Ty Segall as it does to The Strokes. Have a listen. Continue reading MM Shorts 879: Rat Motel

We’ve previously shared A Living Human Girl and now you can wrap your … Continue reading The Regrettes Get Hot…

Lead single Brand New Cadillac (not a cover!) serves as a perfect introduction to the world … Continue reading Introducing >>> Swampmeat
