The excellently named Daddy Issues are an all girl trio producing a twisted, distorted take on garage-pop that drips with acerbic irony and a healthy dose of cynicism. Ugly When I Cry is a wonderful slab of downbeat grungy pop that we’ve had on repeat ever since we heard it! Stream it below, or grab it for a buy-now deal at Bandcamp. .

The Manhattan Love Suicides burnt bright between 2006 and 2009. Taking their ferocious sonic assault all over the UK and further afield to New York and SXSW twice. They released one full rough and raw sounding studio LP, a clutch of 7″ singles and EPs, plus a bumper 27 track compilation CD in their four(ish) years together. In 2009, the band came to an unexpected … Continue reading Return Of The Manhattan Love Suicides
Check out the fried sonics of Trans Upper Egypt’s new track Moon Doom. Drums in constant motion, bass that moves from bouncy to sinister, both competing with the syncopated dissonance of two synthesizers-spaceage sounds melting into a chainsaw fight, and all punctuated by scorched vocals. It comes from their second album, self-titled, out on the 4th November via Austin based label, Monofonus Press. Continue reading Trans Upper Egypt – Moon Doom
Here is another taste from the marvellous Elliott Brood’s new album Work And Love. Nothing Left is another example of their rollicking, infectious Americana cut through with bluegrass, folk-rock and, with this track, a definite glam-rock flavour. Have a listen! .

Leeds’ Menace Beach have confirmed details of their debut album. Ratworld will be released on the 19th January (UK /Europe) and 27th January (North America) on CD, heavy splatter colour vinyl, and good old-fashioned download.

From East L.A., The Bloodhounds play fresh, edgy R&B tinged blues with a hint of punk swagger and latin groove, but always with maximum emphasis placed on good old fashioned rock’n’roll. Debut album Let Loose is out in early November via Alive Naturalsound Records, and until then you can check out the first track from the album, the somewhat self explanatory Try A Little Reefer. … Continue reading MM Shorts 621: The Bloodhounds
Little Person was formed by twin brothers Nicky and Max Weinbach. Both of them started their careers writing and producing musical theatre, but their deep love of classic 1960s pop records soon led them to set aside their staff paper, pick up electric guitars, and begin hitting the legendary clubs of San Francisco. Their debut, Little Person EP comes out tomorrow. Check out the vintage patchwork … Continue reading Little Person – Sommeria
We’ve featured the sludgy, doom-laden psychedelia of Formes a number of times on MM, and the band will be releasing their debut long-player Dysphoria, in November. Tumult is the first song to be taken from the album, an appropriately named stoned, seven minute epic of crushing psych-rock that ups the ante quite significantly from their earlier releases. Download. Dive in… . Continue reading Formes – Tumult
