Vancouver punk rockers White Lung will release a new 7″, Blow It South backed with Down With You. The A side is a full-on, high octane shredder hewn from the classic vein of short, sharp punk shocks, whilst the B side somehow ratchets up the needle a little more and is, if anything, even more assertive! It is out on the 28th October (digital) with a … Continue reading MM Shorts 463: White Lung 7″

Have a listen below. Buy the single here. Continue reading Stream Sleepy Sun’s The Lane

We are pleased to report the spirit of rock ‘n roll is exhumed, drenched in heavy blues riffs, and smeared with earthy grit by Brooklyn trio Graveyard Lovers. On latest release Dreamers, essences of Jack White, The Black Keys and Band of Skulls can be heard, but the whole is closer to a Louisiana-blues-infused grunge-rock for a modern age. Mighty fine it is too – we have three … Continue reading Introducing >>> Graveyard Lovers

Time to round up a few more of the releases that have tickled our ears from the inbox and round the web.

After her departure from Best Coast, Koehler decided to step up from behind the kit to front a band … Continue reading Rounding Them Up Again
We’ve posted about Plateaus a few times on MM. Their latest release will be a one-sided limited run 10″ called Wasting Time. So if hazy guitar tones, pounding drums, fuzzed out bass, and blown out vocals that deliver a sonic soundscape your ears will be thrilled to hear is your thing then you can order the vinyl here. In the meantime have a listen to … Continue reading MM Shorts 460: Plateaus
Videos today come from Efren frontman Scott Low and a first taste from new solo record The Stories I Shouldn’t Tell in the form of Cactusgrass – a swirling and disorientating video perfectly suits the darkness and moodiness of the song. We also have the hypnotic and enchanting Cross Record’s appropriately haunting and off-kilter video for her brilliant track Maybe I’m Crazy. East India Youth’s striking … Continue reading Videos of the Day: Scott Low || Cross Record || East India Youth || Dead Wolf Club
