Mika Miko Latest News

Fuck The West Velocityut The most brutally noisy of all, Nagasaki’s Velocityut are the grown-ups of the Japanese noise scene. The band formed in 1993 and over the years has released a number of cassettes, 7″ vinyls and CDs; all strictly limited edition. They have a new release coming out soon titled Specimen (not sure what format). Keep an eye on their myspace. Velocityut- ...
I first started writing with the Strange Boys in 06 and first met the fellas not long after when I was told while at my job that "there are a bunch of teenage boys here to see you."  The Strange Boys dropped off a CDR of songs that day, some of which have been refined for their debut LP on In the Red The Strange Boys…And Girls Club.  The new album is full of bluesy,...

Who: The Thermals When: January 31st Where: The Bell House More Dates Thoughts: Shit, it has seemed like a long long time since we last heard from The Thermals but apparently they are setting themselves up for a very busy 2009.

Mika Miko MP3s

Pony Drone LA’s Batwings Catwings spring from the steaming remains of psychotic all-girl trio Puppy Dog and electro free spazz punk band The Press Fire, spouting shouty, wiry punk rock that jerks and jives and rocks out. Their first two demos show the band in the vein of Mika Miko in their twisty, bouncy climbing bass and scratchy guitar. Demo ‘Gold To Black’ debuted on hugely...
On Tuesday 16th June 2009, Tubelord played a gig at a venue called The Cellars - a lovely little pub in Eastney, Portsmouth. Ed, Tom and their counterpart/assistant Leam had the pleasure of interviewing Tubelord before their epic gig. The meeting was arranged for 6, however both parties were late due to us getting lost and Tubelord fixing their bank payments, which set everything back a bit....
If you want to get things done today and you haven’t listened to any music yet, let this track from London’s Male Bonding blow the crust from your eyes. Kicking with delirious pop-punk glee, "Pumpkin" is a rush: American Hallowe’en as seen through the eyes of film-watching English suburbanites. Lo-fi bands in checked shirts are springing up like happy weeds all across...
Well Nurtured Minor Players In the early 1980s Los Angeles was the centre of a ferocious musical revolution. Bands such as The Dead Kennedys, Circle Jerks, The Germs, Black Flag and Bad Brains shook the foundations of popular music, storming the scene with a new style of hardcore punk music that attacked the political aspirations of post-Vietnam America and refused to conform to the new world...
Fly Me To The Moon From the dirty streets of L.A, The Widow Babies are back. The band announced today that their debut record titled Jetpacks will come out in July via 01Factory Records. I first wrote about The Widow Babies in September 2008 when they released their first EP; a concept EP paying homage to legendary Stooges [Minutemen, fIREHOSE too of course - ed] bassist Mike Watt. The new...
