Grieving are a new band from Cambridge, playing direct, twisting indie-punk. In debt to the likes of Dismemberment Plan, Jets To Brazil, Drive Like Jehu and elsewhere the lo-fi pop of Guided By Voices or Bob Mould, you can hear the anxious, anthemic indie-punk of No Sleep below. Continue reading MM Shorts 836: Grieving
After Protomartyr featured heavily in our end of the year Best of lists, it was a no brainer to make the trip down with Chris T Popper to the 100 Club to catch the London date of their short UK tour. First up though was The Rebel, aka Ben Wallers erstwhile frontman, guitarist, vocalist and songwriter for the band Country Teasers.

Time to start the week with a few choice musical films… ten to be exact.

Psychedelic doom-punks Cannibal Animal recently released their latest single, I Feel Alive, via Warren Records. The track itself deals with some pretty intense topics. The beauty when it comes to Cannibal Animal, is that they’re not afraid to break down walls with their twitchy, highly-addictive aggro-punk, and encourage the listener to go all Frozen and just…err, let it go. Stream it below. Continue reading MM Shorts 834: Cannibal Animal
Versus is Athens GA duo Eureka California’s third album in three years – a white-knuckle ride through a tattered psyche and a brain that just won’t shut up. Too smart for self-pity and too drunk to think clearly, it is endlessly self-referential and endlessly self-destructive, stuck on a non-stop treadmill of tension and release, of megalomania and doubt. Versus is agoraphobic fight songs, songs about loving television more than … Continue reading More From Eureka California
