New Single From Public Service Broadcasting

We loved the Public Service Broadcasting single Signal 30 and the album from which it came, Inform Educate Entertain. The latest single from it is this one, Theme From PSB. It takes in pioneering American news broadcaster Edward R. Murrow’s famous speech from 1958, celebrating an instrument that can ‘teach… illuminate and yes, even inspire’, breezing along to a climax which invokes the very best that … Continue reading New Single From Public Service Broadcasting

Introducing >>> Teenage Mothers

Melbourne post-punkers Teenage Mothers are a band that have crammed a lot into a short period. They were kicked off M83’s tour in Australia when their lead singer inhaled Nitrous Oxide on stage, back flipped into the crowd, and almost set the stage on fire. Teenage Mothers’ lead singer, JK, left school at 16 to be a pro skateboarder. Then he quit the Nike team … Continue reading Introducing >>> Teenage Mothers

New Album From I See Hawks In L.A.

Mystery Drug is the title of the new album from southern California’s psychedelic country rockers I See Hawks In L.A. This is their seventh long player and the latest phase of the Hawks journey – mixing serious country credentials with wild lyricism and surreal story telling. There’s slide guitar and fiddle, there’s twang, there’s honky tonk and there’s cowpunk grooves, but above all there’s a … Continue reading New Album From I See Hawks In L.A.

Mad Mackerel Recommends…Tales Of Murder And Dust

Danish six-piece Tales of Murder and Dust sound like a band that should be steeped in parched, cowboy town Americana and stories of jealousy, crime and retribution. While there is certainly an element of that in their earlier work with some Morricone inspired twang, even a bit of surf rock, underpinning their neo-psych tendencies, the band have evolved over time into something more hazy and … Continue reading Mad Mackerel Recommends…Tales Of Murder And Dust

The Mason Brothers Release Falling Together Single

Taking equal inspiration from Elliott Smith, Wilco, and Pink Floyd; Mason Brothers are a contemporary roots band whose music bridges the gap between rock & roll, 1970s British folk and 21st century Americana. The band began as a partnership between Christian and James Mason, two Virginia-born brothers who grew up in Richmond and attended college at the nearby University of Virginia. Mason Brothers made their … Continue reading The Mason Brothers Release Falling Together Single

Mad Mackerel Recommends…Leeroy Stagger

We recently received a CD in the mail of Leeroy Stagger’s new release Truth Be Sold, which officially hit stores earlier this week. We have to confess to not being familiar with him previously (despite this being his eighth album), but a couple of spins later we were making up for lost time and checking out this fella’s background. Punk rock roots, ragged country and melancholy … Continue reading Mad Mackerel Recommends…Leeroy Stagger
