Adam Stone & Dead Sea Apes – (You Are) Doing What You Want (All Of The Time)

Loving this track from the upcoming album Warheads by Adam Stone & Dead Sea Apes The record is a full-length collaboration between the writer/artist and the Manchester instrumentalists. It takes classic British pessimism and speculative dystopian fiction and entwines it with morbid social commentary and a long piss-streak of bleak humour. They go on to describe the record as “Standing their ground in a dirty jumbled … Continue reading Adam Stone & Dead Sea Apes – (You Are) Doing What You Want (All Of The Time)

Gong Gong Gong – Siren 追逐劇

We’re loving this track from Beijing’s Gong Gong Gong who make driving, stripped-down transnational blues, tapping into the spirit of Bo Diddley, the Monks, and psychedelic music from West Africa to Southeast Asia. Shot-by-shot, frame-by-frame, Siren 追逐劇 is a story of galloping hooves and screeching tires—a horse and car racing each other through mountains and desert, charging into the city and all set to a thumping, … Continue reading Gong Gong Gong – Siren 追逐劇

Video Round Up

Here is our latest collection of musical films for you. A regular pot pourri of musical styles from Girl Skin’s gorgeously fragile chamber folk to Sit Down’s oozing amalgam of doom metal and sludgy punk by way of The Cavemen’s amphetamine-fueled rhythms and scorching guitar, coupled with drunk and disorderly vocal tirades, and First Aid Kit’s ever perfect vocal harmonies. There is Steve Mason’s soulful new … Continue reading Video Round Up

Mad Mackerel Recommends… SAVAK

Noisy Brooklyn rock veterans SAVAK (members of Obits, Holy Fuck and The Cops) have announced details of their new album Beg Your Pardon. It is their third long-player release, and follows a compelling progression from their past offerings (2016’s Best Of Luck In Future Endeavors and 2017’s Cut-Ups). The new album features everything from noisy careeners and ’80s hardcore nods to slightly glammy stompers and straight-up, New Zealand-inspired, guitar-pop … Continue reading Mad Mackerel Recommends… SAVAK

New Vulgarians single

We’ve featured Hull’s Vulgarians a few times on MM, ever since seeing them support TRAAMS in Oxford. A compelling mix of post-punk and psych-rock, the band’s excellent new single Dead People Are Easier To Love is their first new music since last year’s Almost Instinct, Almost True EP, and makes use of 80s synthesisers to add a new level of sonic urgency to their sound … Continue reading New Vulgarians single
