Deliluh – Lickspittle (A Nut In The Paste)

Toronto art-punks Deliluh will return with Beneath The Floors, their second album of 2019. It will be released 15th November on Tin Angel Records. For listeners familiar with the band, Beneath The Floors reaffirms their knack for story telling. It’s also fitting that the album is slated for an early winter arrival, as a second act following Oath Of Intent’s fiery blaze, but what most differentiates … Continue reading Deliluh – Lickspittle (A Nut In The Paste)

Ezra Furman – Thermometer Video

Ezra Furman has released a video for Thermometer, one of our favourite tracks from her brilliant Twelve Nudes album, released last month via Bella Union. Throughout Thermometer, Furman’s vocals are defiant and ragged, matched by loud, lively instrumentation. An anthem for these troubled times, the video shows Furman in various settings – shaving her legs, riding her bike across town, reading a book – with … Continue reading Ezra Furman – Thermometer Video

Petrol Girls – No Love For A Nation

Petrol Girls’ latest single No Love For A Nation explores the band’s inherent abhorrence of nationalism and borders in general. Vocalist Run Aldridge says “This track is our anti-nationalist anthem. As a band, we come from three different nation states – Austria, Lithuania and the UK – and hold no love for any of them.” It is a pulverising slab of meaty, anthemic punk rock. … Continue reading Petrol Girls – No Love For A Nation

Wonk Unit – Cyclists

Wonk Unit, the unique punk quartet born out of the South London town of Croydon, return with a new single Cyclists, that furthers the bands inimitable take on punk rock, and finds them this time taking aim at selfish cyclists. “Last Summer on route to a festival on some country lane we were unfortunate enough to get stuck behind two cyclists, yes two abreast,” explains … Continue reading Wonk Unit – Cyclists

Vivian Girls – Memory

During their initial run as a band, Vivian Girls were a band of outsiders for outsiders – a band for the freaks and the malcontents. The ones who loved The Wipers as much as Burt Bacharach as much as The Shangri-Las. They were the band that made the punks feel like they could sing harmonies and pop fans could get in touch with their anger. … Continue reading Vivian Girls – Memory

Mad Mackerel Recommends… Dry Cleaning

Not in the literal sense obviously – though there is nothing wrong with a freshly laundered garment. No this Dry Cleaning is a south London foursome that are about to release their second EP, Boundary Road Snacks and Drinks, which follows their summer debut Sweet Princess. The music is wonderfully simple – direct and uncomplicated with unusual spoken word style vocals which gives the whole thing an … Continue reading Mad Mackerel Recommends… Dry Cleaning
