The Immediate - Sever
Off the new album More Sheep Than Humans which came out last month.

Kagoule - Egg Hunt
The lead track from the new LP Strange Entertainment.

Jon Spencer - Do the Trash Can
Without his Blues Explosion these days, this is off Spencer Sings The Hits.

Deux Furieuses - Silenced By The Roar
A track from this time last year that I'd not heard before. Worth catching up on.

Menace Beach - Crawl In Love
A new album from the Leeds band is out on September 7, titled Black Rainbow Sound.

Blam Blam Blam - No Depression In New Zealand
Going back to 1981 here and some Antipodean post-punk. Because why not.

Concretism - Magnox
Off the Essex band's 2015 EP EP06. Suitably apocalyptic.

Optiganally Yours - How Do You Feel?
From San Diego, this is off the LP O Y In Hi-Fi which is quirkily affecting.

Cornershop - Double Denim
Always a pleasure to bring new stuff from Cornershop to the table. This is half of a double A single with Sugar Sugar.

Darto - Brotherhood
From Seattle, this is off Fundamental Slime. Terrific title.

Dead Bambies - Meltdown Of Love
Japanese rock off a compilation from Thomas Impostor records. Tokyo Chikatetsu vol 1 is out now. Bloody brilliant.

Beach Skulls - Ain't Easy
A second album from the Mancunians, Las Dunas is out now.

Mr Airplane Man - I'm In Love
This is off Jacaranda Blue which came out in March.

Vital Idles - Rising Damp
Nothing to do with Leonard Rossiter. This is off Left Hand, which the Glasgow band put out early this month.

Still putting out tracks every month, always a pleasure.

More next week

16 July 2018

Here we go again.

Walter Lure & The The Waldos - Crazy Kids
The last surviving member of The Heartbreakers, Lure and The Waldos have a new LP out, this being the title track.

Sarandon - Mustn't Grumble
Sarandon's Age Of Reason LP, released in 2011, is quite the thing. Packed with really short tracks and then this 5-minuter.

UkePunk - Life And The World
Sex, Pies & Austerity is the forthcoming album from our favourite Ramsbottom-based ukulele punk act.

BEAK> - Brean Down
New stuff from Geoff Barrow and his BEAK> project. Their third LP is titled >>> and who knows how that's pronounced. 'Greater than, greater than, greater than'?

Okay Champ - William Tell
From Newcastle, there's quite the buzz about these. Easy to see why.

Vukovar - Dead Pressed Flowers
Makers of two of my favourite albums of last year, here's one from the new one Infinitum.

Linda Em - Wild Fire
The first of three tracks with a very country vibe. In fact, why don't I play them all back-to-back?
First, London-based Irish singer Linda Em with a track from the EP London Irish which is out in autumn.

Jessica's Brother - Humdinger
Also from London, though featuring Jonny Huddersfield Helm on drums, come Jessica's Brother with a track from the self-titled debut.

Milk Kan - Brixton Hill Revisited
Also from London, south London, come Milk Kan and what they're calling 'drill country'. The EP The Glitch Country is available now.

Therapy? - Callow
And now for something completely different. A new track from the veteran rockers addressing the new age of anxiety taken from the forthcoming LP Cleave.

The Salient Braves - Slob
Barnsley's premier pop act with a new track, available from today.

BOO - Bella
That's the Battery Operated Orchestra to you. New single, out now.

Teleman - Cactus (Boxed In remix)
A terrific track in it's own right - that I played a few weeks back - now mixed up by Boxed In - another band I have a lot of time for - in a terrific stylee.

The Senior Service - The Contender
Off the second album King Cobra - out now on Damaged Goods - this is quite brilliantly uncategorisable.

Afghan Sand Gang - Mantra
As is this, to the ends that they themselves have coined the term 'kraut dance'. They're from Mossley and the EP Machine Music is both out now and highly recommended.
