„Meg, Richie, and I spent a lot of time drinking beer. At the time we asked her to be in the band, her lack of experience on drums was no greater than our lack of experience on guitars, so it wasn’t all that unusual. I think she’s really come into her own bashing away and is the absolute best drummer for Watery Love” to play heavy listening raw noisy garage punk.

Decorative Feeding LP and a 7″ by a competent authority: In The Red Records (US).

But Meg leaved the band so as to concentrate her absolutely different solo career. She was replaced by Ben from Philadelphian highly praised psych-blues-rock-jam band Birds Of Maya. (Another bird is in the Purling Hiss too.)

„I guess there’s quite a dark side to me. It always comes out when I’m writing songs. I love Sylvia Plath, and I love listening to songs that have that haunting darkness that really pulls you in, so it’s probably something that I want to create in my songs.” She plays every instrument on her recordings, from bass to piano, guitar to sitar. Strange bitter-sweet haunted folky pop songs or “grungy abstract folk with a playful darkness” by Marika Hackman

Sugar Blind EP by Dirty Hit

Trivia: Marika Hackman was 14 years old when played her first gig with school friend Cara Delevingne. She played drums while the supermodel played guitar and sang. But Ms Hackman also get involved in the model business. She was a sun-glasses model of the British luxury brand, Blueberry in 2012.

If a band’s record is released by In The Red Records it’s certainly a good garage punk rock band like the Pampers. From their debut LP

Roy & The Devil’s Motorcycle is one of our favorite bands. They have been tenaciously and joyously doing their own thing in rural Switzerland for 20 years. In the beginning their influences: old, dusty blues records, gospel, dirty garage, Spacemen 3, 13th Floor Elevators, Gibson bros, later added to these for example Lee „Scratch” Perry, Red Krayola. They has made only three albums during the years.*

7” by In The Red Records

*I know a band who has made 27 albums + 7 albums with their side projects + 8 solo albums + 8 DVDs + at least 20 mixtapes + some singles, EPs and splits between 2010 and 13… Moreover they have made a film recently.

Zolle is an Italian drums’n’guitar duo. They play „ultra heavy rock. Please don’t call it sludge!”

LP by Supernatural Cats

Surprise! Dirtbombs. And the style is 70s bubblegum music! Yes, the entire LP. An old dream has come true, because the Detroit garage rockers intended to make a bubblegum album at first in 2003. Then the music changed to „car-commercial” pop rock. The second attempt was in 2007. At the time the album’s themes turned into too dark. And finally the success has arrived. Fanfares!

from Ooey Gooey Chewy Ka-blooey! LP by In The Red

There were some Dirtbomb surprises in the past. My favorite one is the Ultraglide in Black (2001), a collection of soul, R&B and Motown covers with an own track. And there is their previous album, the Party Store (2011) featuring covers of early Detroit techno and house. By the way, two drummers are in the band.

OK, I know, lots of Australian are here and maybe you think that we are Aussie music agents, but there are lot of really exciting artists who send their music to us so we can’t do anything, but: Mad Nanna! Mad Nanna! Mad Nanna! Simple stunning psych folk rock:

The Urinals has begun as a punk parody band with minimal musical skill in 1978. The first show was so good that three of the five members stayed together like parody of themselves until 1983.

Their songs has been covered by Butthole Surfers, Digital Leather, Grass Widow, Halo of Flies, Human Eyes, Lili Z, Meatmen, Mika Miko, Mike Watt, Minutemen, Sex Cult, The Gun Club, Yo La Tengo and others.
