We have a cracking video with spinning alien heads and genies from Menace Beach for their excellent Fortune Teller track, and with an astral backdrop of the Mojave desert from Jagwar Ma. We have Karl Smith’s woozy Americana given an excellent animation for Slow Short Story, and the Perch Creek Family Jugband get out their tractors and cross dressing gear for Party On The Farm. . … Continue reading Videos of the Day: Jagwar Ma || Menace Beach || Karl Smith || The Perch Creek Family Jugband

Introducing >>> Champ

San Diego four-piece Champ play punchy garage rock that owes more to punk and grunge than it does psych or power pop – Wavves or FIDLAR are good touchpoints. However, there is a distinct desire to experiment a little more than is common, pushing boundaries a little further than usual, and machete their way determinedly into the shadowier side of sunny California. The results are … Continue reading Introducing >>> Champ

Hooks Debut Single – Get It Out

Hooks are a London-based four piece that have gleefully made a home for themselves on the hallowed turf of classic art-punk bands such as Gang of Four, but have smartly brought their sound up to date with heavy doses of fuzz, energy and bone shaking percussion. Their debut single is Get It Out backed with Jamboree (incidentally one of Mrs M’s favourite words). It sees a … Continue reading Hooks Debut Single – Get It Out

Krill – Turd

Steve Hears Pile In Malden and Bursts Into Tears is a failed concept album about two kids living on the outskirts of Boston who realize they are characters in a Pile song.

Introducing >>> Other Lovers

Other Lovers came described as a like a punk rock June Carter and Johnny Cash, which was enough to pique our interest. Latest EP, Born To Party / Born To Be Old is six tracks that are short, but certainly sweet. Only one tips the three minute mark, but all are pleasingly raw, honest and offer much to be enthusiastic about, as the tracks switch … Continue reading Introducing >>> Other Lovers
