Atlanta’s Mimi’s Revenge blur-genres on the beautiful and atmospheric new single ‘Dire’.

Track: It’s not over for The Insufferable Paul Scott (ex-Pop Mechanix) as he releases sparkling new single ‘Extinct’.
I often bang on about the Marrickville Sound in the southern hemisphere: members of bands that basked in the spotlight in the eighties or nineties who in later years reform or create new bands that continue to create and innovate in their later years.
