We Were Promised Jetpacks – New Song

We have to confess that, although they are a favourite of Scottish Kate’s, we’ve never been too enthusiastic about Scottish indie rockers We Were Promised Jetpacks. This is probably the reason we’ve been a bit slow about getting round to playing their new track Act On Impulse, which precedes new album In The Pit Of The Stomach (out on October 3rd via FatCat). So better … Continue reading We Were Promised Jetpacks – New Song

So Columboid may well be the answer to his long-forgotten … Continue reading Columboid Scratch A Forgotten Goth Itch

The 24 tunes on Bear/Moose, which are steeped in blues, psychedelia, punk, folk, prog rock and garage band excess cover a lot of musical and emotional ground. First single, I’m Back captures the rush derived from jumping back into life with renewed vigour – vibrant guitar, simple percussion and tambourine … Continue reading Mad Mackerel Recommends…Bear & Moose

New from Pepper Rabbit

We’ve posted about the much under-rated psych-pop-folk of Pepper Rabbit in the past, and we’re hoping that their forthcoming new album Red Velvet Snow Ball will get them much more of the attention they surely deserve. We have a couple of tasters from the record for you. Murder Room (via Stereogum) is a cracker, the dark undertone takes its time to bubble to the surface before dragging … Continue reading New from Pepper Rabbit
