As always the mix includes some new tunes too from the retro 60s swagger of The Rebel Light, quirky bedroom pop from Copenhagen’s Eerie Glue, the excellent Lou Reed inspired, slacker rock of Posse, and King of Prussia’s literate, indie pop jangle.

Having got back from discovering some of the many delights of Denmark, there were a few songs to catch up on and share. So starting the week with a round-up of ten fine tunes seemed the right way to go… We have just discovered the excellent Cornish sisters Hockeysmith, offering an alluring mix of woozy noise-pop, claustrophobic psychedelic and even a hint of menacing, pulsating disco. Put … Continue reading Mad Mackerel’s Monday Round Up
Aussie synth-driven punks Ausmuteants are about to release their first ‘proper’ LP of noisy, juvenile, inane and downright infectious tracks. Tracks with such names as Kicked In The Head By A Horse, Stepped In Shit, Pissed Myself Twice, Flushing Problems – you get the picture. The four-piece make a brilliant virtue of their absurdity, turning out a collection of brash, high octane, sing-a-long anthems that … Continue reading Introducing >>> Ausmuteants
As we’re away for a few days we have scheduled a few posts to highlight some excellent stuff that has come our way, but which we haven’t had the time to do justice too in words! Oakland’s grungy, violin wielding Everyone Is Dirty have released a storming single Mama, No, which is the second to be taken from their forthcoming debut full-length. Check out the … Continue reading MM Shorts 522: Everyone Is Dirty
There has been a whole cacophony of excellent punk coming out of Austin in the recent weeks and months. The latest to add their name to this impressive list is the stripped back, drunken urgency of Ghetto Ghouls who have given us the slovenly, lackadaisical, yet still tight as hell, Peepshow, taken from their upcoming debut album. The self-titled LP will be out via Monofonus Press … Continue reading More Austin Punk from Ghetto Ghouls
