Revolution is the brilliant second single from Van William of WATERS and (previous MM faves) Port O’Brien fame. It is much more reminiscent of the latter, and also features the glorious harmonies of Swedish duo First Aid Kit. Listen below. An absolute gem. Continue reading Van William – Revolution (featuring First Aid Kit)

Breakfast Is A Scam is the last single to be shared from The Survivalist’s new album Plagiarism is the Sincerest Form of Stealing. It is another typically dark, and typically catchy number, laced through with mordant dark humour from the self-styled apocalyptic folk duo. Stream/download it here. Continue reading The Survivalists – Breakfast Is A Scam
I know we’re late to it and I don’t quite know how we missed it, but Fat White Family’s single Breaking Into Aldi is a brilliantly sleazy slice of anarchic indie that manages to be both depraved and deprived. And all at the same time! It is their first new material since their second album Songs For Our Mothers, and the single is backed by … Continue reading Fat White Family’s New Single
C-Side is the latest single from Wytches (which we posted here), and without getting into too much of a muddle, the B-Side to C-Side is this track Hannover Square. But never mind all that – it is more black-hearted, gothic tinged psych-rock that majors on the sleazy side of good old rock’n’roll… Stream it here. Continue reading The Wytches – Hannover Square
London’s spiky post-punk four-piece Aathens have announced their debut EP TVEP and shared I Wanna Be A Totem, which calls to mind Fugazi, Television and contemporaries such as Ought and Girl Band. Stream it here. Continue reading MM Shorts 874: Aathens

I still remember the first time I heard The Warlocks. The Dope Feels Good blasting out in Tower Records in San Diego sometime in early 2003. I bought the album, Phoenix immediately. The band produce a relentless, hypnotic wall of sound that suggests a collision between classic psychedelia, Krautrock and Velvet Underground style rock and roll. Now into their seventeenth year, the new album from these … Continue reading New Album From The Warlocks
It has been too long since we last heard from Terry Malts, but after three long years, the SF punk trio have announced their third LP, Lost At The Party, will be out on the 14th October via Slumberland Records. Expanding their trademark sound of buzzing punk rock to embrace some indie jangle and power pop, the results can be heard on their tasty first single, Seen Everything. … Continue reading Terry Malts Are Back
