Meatraffle vs Madonnatron Italian Rebel Song Record Store Day Special!

Had to post this – a special from yesterday’s Record Store Day and featuring the marvellous Meatraffle and Madonnatron sharing the lead on two, what I presume are Italian Rebel Songs given the song titles and the title of the release… no flies on us folks!

Drahla Share Pyramid Estate

Leeds-based post-punk outfit Drahla have shared a new single from their upcoming Useless Coordinates LP due out 3rd May on Captured Tracks. Pyramid Estate is another wonderfully disorientating track, clocking in at less than two minutes, thriving on hectic collisions and a sense of hazy, fragmented confusion (particularly some wonderfully skronky saxophone that could have come from a classic Gong album) to create something wholly … Continue reading Drahla Share Pyramid Estate

The Felice Brothers – Special Announcement

Pile – The Soft Hands Of Stephen Miller

In stark contrast to our earlier post featuring the sweet strum of The Lumineers we now have Pile’s new single – the excellently named The Soft Hands Of Stephen Miller. A song about the threat posed by the President’s far-right advisor. It is noisy and brutal and ferocious and we are loving all two minutes of it – for anyone who has a tune by … Continue reading Pile – The Soft Hands Of Stephen Miller
