We love the abrasive dark pop, post punk, fuzzed up garage sound of PINS. Watch the slightly surreal clip for Come Back that features the band on and off-stage at a taping for a bizarro, Top Of The Pops-esque music program. . . Continue reading New Video: PINS – Come Back
Christian Bland & The Revelators are led by the guitarist for longstanding MM faves, US psych-warriors The Black Angels. New album The Unseen Green Obscene is a masterpiece of rolling, hypnotic, guitars that throughout manage to create a lovingly authentic homage to the classic kaleidoscopic psychedelia of the 60s. Check out CB160 below, and order the record here. . Continue reading MM Recommends…Christian Bland & The Revelators

We’re pleased to report that they have a first “proper” full length album coming out soon, and here are a couple of tracks from it for your … Continue reading New Album From Steakhouse
