We moved MM to WordPress in April 2010, after being one of the many blogs to get screwed by Google Blogspot.

So, from the classic sound of Tenpole Tudor's new wave power-pop via The Men They Couldn't Hang's protest cow punk to the folk of Joe Pug and the Floydian prog-rock of The Silver Machines [...]

Detroit Social Club , the baby of Newcastle songwriter David Burn that has translated to a six-piece live experience, is looming large on the horizon.

The album begins with 'Kiss the Sun', coming in like a jetliner before frontman Burn's vocals come swaggering in. Jimi Hendrix may have wanted to 'kiss the sky' but he might have had a change of heart, [...]

There are clear elements of Primal Scream and The Stone Roses in their music, the band describe even themselves as ' Analogue experimentation of the modern kind. Retro-Big beat-Gospel influenced-junkie folk, made in 1970s New York .' They are embarking on [...]
At times it is a challenge to tie a series of random events together in one big bow of a blogaruu. Isolated events of oddness which just occur and end with no string attached. However, other times, these random events occur in a sequential order and all lead up to something. Saturday, running into Sunday, [...]

DETROIT SOCIAL CLUB If you like Kasabian , you are going to love this six piece. They may describe themselves as " big beat junkie folk ", but they're wrong, they are the new Kasabian. It's that simple. There's a little bit of bluesy Primal Scream in there perhaps, possibly even a little bit of Oasis , but mainly Kasabian. We won't be ending the critique there however, because they also happen to write fucking awesome tunes. Very much like Kasabian do actually. You know the sort of songs; absolutely [...]
