Muck And The Mires – ‘Greetings from Muckingham Palace’ (Dirty Water Records)

Have you ever wondered what The Beatles would sound like if they were a killer garage punk band? Well, Muck and the Mires, hailing from Boston, Massachusetts, is the perfect embodiment of that sound! Their latest full-length release, ‘Greetings From Muckingham Palace’, is guaranteed to be an instant classic. Each of their 14 songs is roughly two minutes long and they all pack a memorable punch! Drawing on influences from The Ramones, The Sonics, and The Beatles, you’ll instantly be transported to better days. 2020 might have us down in the dumps, but right from the start I was drawn in by the pop rock grooves of ‘This Time I know I’m Right’. This track grabbed my attention and filled me up with its much-needed feel-good vibes.

Cats In Space – ‘Atlantis’ (Harmony Factory/Cargo Records)

Jinjer – ‘Alive in Melbourne’ (Napalm Records)

Let’s face it, 2020 has been just a little bit shit with everyone having their lives severely disrupted, especially within the music industry. One of the bands that must be really feeling robbed by the whole situation is Jinjer for whom 2019 was a massive year where their hype train was gaining some serious momentum on the back of their latest album ‘Macro’. This resulted in many people (including our Jonny B) making a note to check them out on their next ÜK tour but then everything went tits up and we’ll all have to wait a bit longer to be able to catch Jinjer on stage. In the meantime, we have this live album to (potentially) slake our thirsts…
