In late 2017, Nashville’s Taco Mouth was born, a mash-up of 60s-era rock and pop hooks; think the Ramones and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, or The Runaways and Awolnation. They are releasing their full-length album, A Deafening Silence, on October 26th and You Say is a perfect example of their fired up punk rock. Watch the video here. Continue reading Taco Mouth – You Say
Lifestyles play proper, old-skool punk rock. Ripping new single Wail (out on 26th October as a split with fellow Chicagoans and long standing MM faves Meat Wave) is just over two minutes of unstoppable fury that gallops out the stalls at 100mph and never lets up once. It takes aim at Scientology and is dedicated to the memory of Hüsker Dü’s Grant Hart. We’re loving it. Stream … Continue reading Mad Mackerel Recommends… Lifestyles

Released in 2006, Ten Silver Drops, the second album from Secret Machines was one of our favourites of that, and any subsequent year. A masterpiece of spacey widescreen guitars, prog and krautrock, it was an album that was constantly on repeat. Although the record has been out of print for more than ten years, Ten Silver Drops will be reissued on 180g heavyweight vinyl in … Continue reading Secret Machines – Ten Silver Drops (Expanded Edition)
Back in July we shared Acid Books by Greek post-punks Callas taken from their collaboration, Trouble and Desire, with Sonic Youth’s Lee Ranaldo, which has remained one of our favourite songs of the year ever since. Now we have Mirroir for you and the album’s title track. Both are equally good – taut, pulsating, menacing and with a driving psych groove that is marking this album … Continue reading More From Callas with Lee Ranaldo
