Mad Mackerel Recommends… Davey Craddock & The Spectacles

A rolling, insistent tale of a dalliance gone wrong, Girls Light Fires, the new single from Australian band Davey Craddock & The Spectacles could’ve been written from the passenger seat of a getaway car as the protagonist tells his badly-burnt friend ‘I told you so’.

Sounds good to us! It is out in the … Continue reading Introducing >>> \\GT//

They have shared a new album track Propane, another broiling surf-meets-psych-rock jam with reverb-soaked vocals and driving guitars that sizzles, … Continue reading Heaters – Propane
