Melbourne quintet Bananagun have today shared a new single from their forthcoming album The True Story of Bananagun. The Master is a hectic, rhythmic excursion into colourful psych-pop that is exotic, vibrant and pretty much irresistible. The band draw on 60s and 70s Afrobeat, the proto-garage rhythmic fury of The Monks, and the grooves of Os Mutantes, shaping it all into their own melting pot of tropical … Continue reading Bananagun – The Master

As singer Joe Casey intones, “What’s been torn down can be … Continue reading Protomartyr – Michigan Hammers

Yesterday we shared a couple of sweet covers by country-rockers Whitney and today we have another, altogether different cover version to offer you. One that heralds the return of LA’s Death Valley Girls. Having made quite a name for themselves with their desert-blasted blend of rowdy proto-punk and primitive heavy metal, this is their first new offering since 2018 album Darkness Rains, and comes in … Continue reading The Return Of Death Valley Girls
