Mad Mackerel Recommends >>> Golden Boots

PIAPTK is one of our favourite DIY record labels and they are releasing a super limited run (just 30) of the new record from Tucson’s Golden Boots. DBX’n’SPF finds the band moving their twangy psych into weird blown out fuzz pop territory, just listen to lead off track Yuma below. Order the album here and you can also grab a Golden Boots sampler on a pay-what-you-want deal … Continue reading Mad Mackerel Recommends >>> Golden Boots

Introducing >>> Neon Night

Forget Dannii Minogue albums, Neon Night are a female fronted garage rock band from the North East of England. They write refreshingly straight-forward songs about sex and dickheads amongst other things; singing the blues in a punk rock fashion. There’s distinctively lusty vocals, catchy riffs and noisy boisterous drums. Try Never Been Kissed, which is a catchy-as-hell, scantily clad tune telling the tragic tale of a … Continue reading Introducing >>> Neon Night

New from Black Rebel Motorcycle Club

We’ve always had a soft spot for Black Rebel Motorcycle Club who have provided us with some top notch tunes over the years (it was just live they were awful!). Their sixth studio album, titled Specter At The Feast, is set for release March 19 on Abstract Dragon / Vagrant. The band has released Let The Day Begin, the first single from the new album. … Continue reading New from Black Rebel Motorcycle Club

Black Angels New Album Taster

The mighty Black Angels return with a new album Indigo Meadow released in the UK on April 1st. Their fourth long-player, it follows 2010’s excellent Phosphene Dream. Indigo Meadow promises more, bigger riffs, ominous organ grooves, and their trademark psych-drone. We can’t wait… They have what they describe as a “provocative” new track available for streaming – this is Don’t Play With Guns. Singer, Alex Maas, … Continue reading Black Angels New Album Taster

Videos of the Day: F.U.R.S || Parson Red Heads || Sunshine || Deap Vally

Watch new videos featuring F.U.R.S and a taster for their excellent debut single Striptease, and the Parson Red Heads video for Another Chance is a color-saturated, send-up of the static, poker-faced videos of early Black Sabbath. See Batman and Superman get drunk and make out in Sunshine’s video for Showering With Wine and finish with the scorching wildcat blues of two-piece Deap Vally’s new single Lies. … Continue reading Videos of the Day: F.U.R.S || Parson Red Heads || Sunshine || Deap Vally

Introducing >>> Kiven

Indie three-piece Kiven hail from the smog-swept city of Los Angeles. Their recently released 1840 EP reflects both their musical and personal growth. The three tracks build on each other organically with pocket drums, grooving bass lines, hard hitting guitars, soaring vocals and lush harmonies. Kiven’s debut full-length album will be out in summer, until then satisfy yourself with Hope & Smoke from the EP. Download … Continue reading Introducing >>> Kiven

New Single From Honeymilk

Back in October we lauded the boisterous and spiky indie rock of Honeymilk’s debut single It Might Be, and now the Swedish four piece have followed it up with their new single (released yesterday), This Time Around (The Gods Won’t Save Me). They’ve turned up the angst-meter and slowed down the pace (just a little), but the results are still impressively anthemic and heartfelt. Grab it … Continue reading New Single From Honeymilk

MM Shorts 299: Lead Mule

Amidst the winding rural roads of Short Beach, Nova Scotia, the echoes of rock ‘n’ roll bounce between the battered asphalt and the sea-soaked spruce trees.  In an area steeped in musical tradition, Lead Mule, a four-piece outfit from these outskirts of Yarmouth, champions the legacy. They release their self-titled debut EP today – have a listen/download the pop-rock guitar riffs and anthemic sing-along chorus … Continue reading MM Shorts 299: Lead Mule
