Introducing >>> Cold Sweats

New York trio, Cold Sweats’ latest single Hater Failure is an infectiously deranged noise punk anthem, driven by bustling guitar lines and scathing lyrics. It comes from their upcoming debut album, Social Coma, set to be released on November 6th via Six 3 Collective. The record is an eclectic beast of punk that ranges from drunken noise rock blasts and surf punk fuzz to walls of corrosive hardcore and … Continue reading Introducing >>> Cold Sweats

MM Shorts 789: Antlered Aunt Lord

Antlered Aunt Lord is entirely Jesse Stinnard, a guy who’s spent the past ten years in Athens, Georgia as a cherished eccentric in a town known for its cherished eccentricities. His first official release is Ostensibly Formerly Stunted (and on fire), and is out on the 30th November and features members of Tunabunny. Melodic, lyrically inventive, reticent, and moving – think the missing link between the Pixies … Continue reading MM Shorts 789: Antlered Aunt Lord

MM Shorts 787: Annabelle’s Curse

Worn Out Skin is the newest album from Annabelle’s Curse, a genre-busting five-piece alternative folk band that deftly sways from haunting and ethereal melody to unflinching and unforgettable rhythm and riffs. Place them in whatever genre you will, but it is perhaps simplest to say that they are true originals, offering a beguiling blend of folk, bluegrass, and even rock.
