Mrs Mackerel’s TFI Friday (22nd June)
Hello! Swum out of hiding for a brief frisson on a Friday. This week saw Big Sair and I take to the open road once more and try and find our way to old London Town. And so we began by chanting the gospel according to Big Sair: what’s said in the car, stays in the car. I like that. Off we shot, with Doris … Continue reading Mrs Mackerel’s TFI Friday (22nd June)
New EP From Fires
Nashville alt-rockers Fires’ latest self-released EP, Echo Sounds, is now available. Brothers Danny and Ryan Nicoletto formed Fires in 2010. That year, they released the EP Angels in the Dark, and after playing live, a raw, aggressive rock sound emerged.

MM Shorts 179: New From Strand Of Oaks
Picked this up from the excellent Hear Ya blog, and as it was about Timothy Showalter, better known as Strand Of Oaks (and a big MM fave), we figured it was well worth a re-post. This is Maureen’s, the first taste of his forthcoming album Dark Shores, the follow-up to the outstanding Pope Killdragon. Apparently this album is going to rock out more – the Beatles … Continue reading MM Shorts 179: New From Strand Of Oaks

New EP From Salesman
Salesman have released a new EP this week titled Wasp, containing six more tracks of their off kilter, somewhat warped take on Americana and desert country folk flavoured with a healthy dollop of psychedelia and no little experimentation. The songs are provocative, nothing if not a little unsettling, and are guaranteed to push listeners a little out of their comfort zones. All in a good … Continue reading New EP From Salesman
