MM Shorts 762: The Men That Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing

The Men That Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing have long been renowned for their mix of anarchy and anachrony and marinating it in gin-soaked steampunk, with emphasis on the punk. Think a socially conscious punk band channelling the sound of a robot Sid Vicious, hopped up on Crass, covering Slayer in an 1877 East End Music Hall… Their third album Not Your Typical Victorians almost didn’t … Continue reading MM Shorts 762: The Men That Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing

New Album From Quiet Hollers

We’re loving Côte d’Azur, a new track from Quiet Hollers, and the first we’ve heard from them since we posted the brilliant Road Song back in the beginning of 2013. It comes from their upcoming self-titled sophomore album which runs the proverbial gamut of the band’s eclectic influences: 90s college rock, post punk and alt-country, to deliver heady, literate, hook-laden narratives, blasting through tube amps in … Continue reading New Album From Quiet Hollers

Woolen Men – Life In Hell

Life In Hell is the latest track from the Woolen Men’s forthcoming long player Temporary Monument. It is propulsive, jerky punk rock that soundtracks a tale of urban gentrification and the smothering advance of the newly rich. It somehow manages to pack being tense, fatalistic and compelling into two short, clattering minutes. Listen here. . Continue reading Woolen Men – Life In Hell

Diet Cig – Dinner Date

NY’s punky power-pop duo Diet Cig have shared the second song from their double A-side Sleep Talk/Dinner Date 7″. Dinner Date is (maybe) our favourite song of theirs to date – one that continues them along their path of unflinchingly highlighting failures and disenchantments (their own and others). The song is plaintive yet spiky, building to a fuzzy finale of frustration and stinging disappointment. Brilliant. The frosted clear vinyl, … Continue reading Diet Cig – Dinner Date

The Sheepdogs – Same Old Feeling

It has been a good while since we’ve posted anything by good time Canadian psych-rockers The Sheepdogs. It feels good to put that right with Same Old Feeling, a bluesy track that recalls the golden heyday of The Band. It is taken from their forthcoming album Future Nostalgia that will see the light of day in early October via Dine Alone Records. Give it a … Continue reading The Sheepdogs – Same Old Feeling

New From Menace Beach

There cannot be many better ways to start the day than with a new song about a pocket-size alien ghoul who soaks up your darkness and anxieties. So it is with Ghoul Power, the latest track from Menace Beach’s new Super Transporterreum EP which cranks up the ante a notch or two with some off kilter psychedelics, woozy hallucinogens and good old fashioned speed buzz. Don’t worry – … Continue reading New From Menace Beach
