The Imbeciles are new to us, but we’re loving the 73 second gem that is One Hand Tommy, and the accompanying surreal animated video featuring a child trapped in a dystopian landscape of nuclear annihilation with only a giant killer snake for company. It comes from the band’s self-titled debut album – thirteen sub-two minute imploding songs of delirious punk with blood curdling vocals, disarticulated fretwork … Continue reading Introducing >>> The Imbeciles
We’re a sucker for a good story – especially one from the halcyon days of punk rock. So it is with Bona Rays’ Poser, possibly the UK’s last great undiscovered punk single from the 1970s, and the only UK punk single recorded from that time fronted by a woman of West Indian descent. Back in 1978, punk songwriter and guitarist Tony Keating had a few … Continue reading Bona Rays – Poser
The Bobby Lees are a bone-shaking garage rock band out of Woodstock, NY. Their new record Skin Suit was produced by underground punk legend Jon Spencer of the Blues Explosion and will be released on Alive Naturalsound Records on the 17th July. Mixing classic garage-punk with raw and emotive storytelling, this is their socially distanced video for the raucous Drive. Continue reading The Bobby Lees – Drive
Lockdown has given us an opportunity to get a little more up to date with our posts and to catch up, a little, with some of the many, many tunes that come our way. Given it is Friday and a Bank Holiday here in the UK, we’ve rounded up a few tunes that we would have liked to have given a bit more time and … Continue reading Something For The Weekend…
We recently posted Chemtrails’ excellent Suck My Mind from their upcoming long player The Peculiar Smell Of The Inevitable and they are following it up with the equally good Blurred Vision. It is another sledge hammer heavy slam-dunk of raw guitar and synth noise. Having relocated to Manchester from London in late 2019, romantic partners Mia Lust and Laura Orlova recruited a whole new line-up. … Continue reading Chemtrails – Blurred Visions
We loved Bee Bee Sea’s This Dog Is The King Of Losers back in January 2018 – a full on riffola of psych infused garage rock stomp. The Italian band are back with a new long player Day Ripper, out on 9th October, and have shared the first single Daily Jobs which is another excellent track chock full of frenzied riffs, sharp tempo shifts, melodic … Continue reading New Single From Bee Bee Sea
Influenced just as much by 80s New Wave acts such as Talking Heads and The Associates, as they are by the queer modern art-pop sensibilities of St Vincent, Glasgow based Walt Disco’s new single Cut Your Hair is an anthem for a new generation of misfits exemplifying everything the band are about. The single is lifted from the band’s debut EP due later this year, the track … Continue reading Walt Disco – Cut Your Hair
Loving this track from Thee MVPs, taken from upcoming debut album Science Fiction, which is out via Eeasy Records on the 29th May. Full of pent-up throbbing aggression, A Song For Councillor bursts at the seams with the band’s deceptively infectious riff-driven motorik grooves and delivers a full-on, unstoppable, beat heavy, high energy blowout. Something for the weekend sir? This’ll do nicely! Stream it (loudly) … Continue reading Thee MVPS share A Song For Councillor
Bad Taste is the eye-popping debut from London-based anonymous dystopian-punk duo NRVS. Backed with the equally nihilistic The Teeth I Always Wanted, their music carries a blistering, in-your-face, anti-establishment quality that syphons perfectly through their distinct DIY punk sensibilities. Stream both below – like being put through a sonic meat grinder. In a good way. Continue reading Introducing >>> NRVS
Mean Motor Scooter, the B-movie, scuzzy-pysch-punk Texas quartet are back with a new EP, Mr Sophistication, out on the 1st May. Check out the supercharged sonic joyride of The Void, and the spiky punk rhythms and choppy guitars of Aristobrat below. Also, in place of a public album release party due to quarantine, the group will be live streaming their show this Friday from 6–7 PM … Continue reading Mad Mackerel Recommends… Mean Motor Scooter
