BRONCHO write some of the catchiest, most infectious indie-rock anthems around and Get In My Car, the Oklahoma quartet’s first new offering since releasing their third album Double Vanity in 2016, completely lives up to all expectations.
A bit of glam rock, some garage swagger, and classic pop…stream it below.
Here are our favourite albums of 2016. We have to go against the flow a bit and say up front there is no place for David Bowie. Great though he was, and tragic that he died two days after the release of a good album, for us that was what it was, a good album, but not a great one. And besides he is topping damn near every other list.

Check out our favourite 100 tracks of the year here (100-76, 75-51, 50-26, 25-1) and look out tomorrow for the start of our individual lists…
It’s that time again…our regular round-up of rollicking (and not-so-rollicking) new tunes from the previous seven days.
This time we have the welcome return of Cass McCombs alongside the infectious psych-rock of White Room, the scrappy, confrontational punk of MOURN and the new collaboration between Lemonheads frontman Evan Dando, folksinger Marciana Jones and the wonderful Willy Mason called TSP plus six more.
We seem to have posted a lot of tunes this week with three Nickel In The Jukebox round ups and here are twelve more – all newly minted this week.
From the return of the Stone Roses to the gothic blues of Adia Victoria and the indie rock of Catfish & The Bottlemen and taking in songs about Bob Dylan, God and a cover of the easy listening classic Moon River.
Enjoy.
Stone Roses – All For One
Mark Kozlek – Moon River (Henry Mancini / Johnny Mercer cover)
Here are this week’s careful selections for you dear reader/listener.
No less than ten new tunes, all released, blinking and dewy eyed into the spring sunshine over the past seven days. They include Spray Paint, Flat Worms and Diarrhea Planet for those who like the needle in the red and Money and Andy Shauf for those who prefer the more sedate, maudlin side of life.
Whichever side of the fence you sit, as always, enjoy.
Primal Scream – Mantra For A State Of Mind (S Express cover)
Spray Paint – Burn Barrel
Andy Shauf – The Worst In You
Diarrhea Planet – Let It Out
Flat Worms – Sovereignty

Broncho – Señora Borealis
Money – Three Days Drinking And As Many Lovers Too
After two albums of highly contagious garage-tinged indie rock Oklahoma’s BRONCHO are back with their third album Double Vanity, (due out May 27).
This time it is a record that finds the band slowing into a darker and hazier groove – a sleeker, plusher sound, a place bright with the polished gleam of chrome and bleached white sunlight.
Think suburban shopping mall wastelands, glazed eyes, dead grass, lips glossed in bubblegum pink – all as evidenced perfectly on first taster track Fantasy Boys.
Today the countdown begins of Mad Mackerel’s favourite 100 songs of 2014. From Monday to Friday check back to see what tickled the earbuds of MM’s contributors, followed by our Albums of the Year at the weekend and then our individual contributors’ choices.
The fizzing garage rock and power pop of Broncho is showcased better than ever on their new single Class Historian which comes from forthcoming long player Just Enough Hip To Be Woman.
