New Single From Wet Nuns
Wet Nuns are a hedonistic hardcore junkyard punk duo who deal in the kind of ferocious riffing and vocals that sound as if they’ve been forcibly extracted from the bowels of hell. As you might expect, they sing songs about “women, death and beer“, and mighty good songs they are too with recent single Throttle proving especially good for scaring OAPs and the like. Their … Continue reading New Single From Wet Nuns
Daddy Lion Releases Habitat
We’ve featured Daddy Lion a couple of times in the past and we’ve been spinning his debut album Habitat more and more over the past few weeks since we first got hold of a copy. Dabbling in genres from 80s synth pop to indie rock to spaghetti western, the record is intimately lo-fi, packed with warm guitar strings, crafted melodies, and sophisticated textures.

Mad Mackerel Recommends…The Delta Routine
The Delta Routine are set to release their third full-length album Cigarettes & Caffeine Nightmares this autumn. On it the Milwaukee quintet taps directly into the jugular of early rock-n-roll; distilling the raw, impassioned power and updating it for a younger generation.

John The Conqueror’s self-titled debut album is an amalgamation of the many sounds and styles (old and new) mined from both the North and South. They mix a bedrock of raw deep blues with funk, soul, punk and scuzzed-up rock-n-roll into one potent musical Molotov cocktail.

MM Shorts 213: Graveyard Kids
We first featured the lo-fi, bluesy rock of The Graveyard Kids as part of a post about ten Bandcamp treasures. They have now made a seven track album titled My Only Company available for free download – apparently it started out as a collection of acoustic, lo-fi garage recordings and is now something altogether more powerful and instinctive. Check out lead track Staircase Blues below … Continue reading MM Shorts 213: Graveyard Kids
Mrs Mackerel’s TFI Friday (24th August)
A Lord Huron of a week, but that notwithstanding it’s now time to fly rather than run. So before we’re airborne and intoxicated once more, there’s just time to squeeze out one short TFI before I sit on the suitcase, kiss the menagerie goodbye and head for warmer climes (forest fires you’re not counted). Doubtless I’ll spent the week in the shade, book in … Continue reading Mrs Mackerel’s TFI Friday (24th August)
