Dead Horses “Sunny Days”

December 15, 2022 Paul Kerr 0
Zonked out country punk thrash from Italy. If you think that much of Americana is these days, just a tad prissy, then this amped-up thrash cowpunk crew from Italy might be the antidote. There’s no polish […]

Blackbirds FC “Magiclands”

December 14, 2022 Martin Johnson 0
Blackbirds FC are as Australian as it is possible to be and could be the next Antipodean musical export. It is not hard to find 21st-Century bands who claim inspiration from the jingle jangle pop of […]

Mexico City “Closer to Home”

December 14, 2022 John Jenkins 0
Mexico City’s new album drags the listener in and keeps them there with its live-to-tape 70’s feel. Mexico City are from Brisbane Australia so it’s not likely you would come across them at a local UK […]

Keyside “Keyside”

September 4, 2026 0
A catchy, guitar-led debut where jangly hooks and catchy choruses carry stories of lives lived close to the edge. There is something immediately familiar about Keyside, the debut album from Liverpool four-piece Keyside. Jangly guitars and […]

Classic Clips: The Monkees “What Am I Doing Hangin’ ‘Round?” – The Monkees TV Series Episode 40, “Monkees Marooned” 1967
