Following the first batch of UK live dates promoting their second album ‘Knowing What You Know Now’, Marmozets headed off to Europe. The shows were extremely well received.
At the point other bands might take a short rest, Marmozets are trucking on with the live work and have just announced another batch of live dates. All confirmed shows can be seen in the poster below.

With their new album ‘Autonomy’ just released on February 23rd, indie rockers Table Scraps continue promotion for the new record with a brand new video featuring…sock puppets.
The visuals that accompany ‘I’m a Failure’ – taken from the new LP – come across like a hybrid of MTV’s past with elements of Beavis & Butthead and Liam Lynch’s ‘Sifl & Ollie’ show. Musically, this new offering from Table Scraps is very much in keeping with the visual, since their brand of wantonly fuzzy indie pop retains a very irreverent style.
State Cows are back! The cult Swedish westcoast band will return with a new album ‘Challenges’ in the near future. A Valentines Day update on their official Facebook page claimed it was “still too early to schedule a release date”, but they’re already streaming a couple of new tracks from their Bandcamp page.
You can stream the new tracks ‘I Got The Message’ and ‘Borrowed Time’ below.
In May 2018, the Kurt Baker Combo will release ‘Let’s Go Wild’, their follow up to 2016’s ‘In Orbit’.

They’ve been away for a while, but Chilean shoegaze sensations MAFF are back with a new EP ‘Melañiña’, which releases in April.
Before the full release, you can check out two of the new songs on Soundcloud, including the new digital single ‘Hawaii’, which absolutely destroys by a way of a heavy and pulsing bass, before the whole track explodes into a world of 90s distortion culling the very best from Catherine Wheel and My Bloody Valentine.
