We’re loving this track, and this video, from Memphis psych-punk outfit NOTS. Reactor is not a new song per se having previously seen a release on Goner Records last year, but as recent signings to the excellent Heavenly Records, their album We Are Nots will now be released in the UK too, coming out on November 20th. A brilliant slice of simmering, freaked out, lo-fi … Continue reading New Video: NOTS – Reactor
Like many others we were big fans of Bad Art And Weirdo Ideas, the first single from Beach Slang’s forthcoming debut long player The Things We Do To Find People Like Us (out 30th October). Here is the follow-up, check out the equally intense and fiery riffing of Young & Alive, another song that bleeds raw energy from the speakers… Try it. . Continue reading New From Beach Slang
Quiet Hollers’ excellent new single is Mont Blanc, the second taste of their sophomore album, which is due out on October 23rd. Lead singer/songwriter Shadwick Wilde describes Mont Blanc as a post-apocalyptic love song, which follows the albums’ first single Cote d’Azur, which we posted here and has been on regular rotation here at MM Towers. . Continue reading Quiet Hollers – Mont Blanc
We really don’t post as many videos as we should… so as usual here is our rather feeble attempt to clear the backlog of some of the excellent musical films we’ve seen recently. . . . . . . . . . . Continue reading Video Round Up Time

Beach Fossils side project Laced was formed in Brooklyn in late 2013. Combining moments of dissonance with intricate melodies, Laced draws from the ethos of jazz, hardcore punk and psychedelic music to create an aggressive yet harmonious sound. Listen to the excellent Clear below. Their debut self-titled EP is out on 30th October – order here. . Continue reading MM Shorts 777: Laced
Ease yourself towards the weekend with some spaced out grooves from Liverpool psych-rockers The Vryll Society. The Liverpool band’s debut EP Pangea (derived from ancient Greek for whole of the earth) will be released on 26th October through Deltasonic Records and Air is the first track shared from it. It showcases their ethereal, hypnotic style and occupies territory somewhere from Neu and Air to early Stone … Continue reading MM Shorts 776: The Vryll Society
We loved the weary, parched country of Gotta Wanna, the first single Gun Outfit shared from their forthcoming long player Dream All Over. Now we have Only Ever Over, a seductively elegant track that swirls and smothers in a blanket of dusky, slow moving, desert blues Wonderful. Order from Bandcamp here. . Continue reading More From Gun Outfit
We’ve long championed the raucous, incendiary garage-punk of the Dirty Nil and it is good to see them back with a new single on Dine Alone Records and with plans for a debut album early next year. Out on the 6th November, the single, No Weaknesses backed with Provisional, features the double edge sword of breakneck violent fuzz and pure anthemic catharsis; a combination of unhinged punk rock … Continue reading New Single From The Dirty Nil
To celebrate the release of their excellent new album All Yours, Widowspeak have shared a cover of 90s rock band Third Eye Blind’s (best) song, How’s It Going To Be. They’ve taken its inherent melancholy and smothered it in a languid, swirling haze giving it a disconnected dreamlike quality that is hard to resist. .
