Track: ALLUSONDRUGS – Magic College/Her Crown
With their co-headline tour with Brawlers now underway, it seems apt that we would venture into their latest release – a 7” vinyl courtesy of Too Pure’s Singles Club. Given the wealth of talent that this club in particular extols, it’s no surprise that Magic College/Her Town doesn’t let this track record down. The lead …
Meet: Black Delta Movement interview
We’ve seen them live on numerous occasions and we’ve been spinning their trippy, garage psychedelia on the Backseat mafia turntable for quite some time. So we thought it was about time we introduced you to The Black Delta Movement. We sat down with lead singer Matt to ask a few basic questions about one of our …
Track: Bellwire – Let it Shine
Boston garage pop quartet Bellwire have heralded the release of their self titled debut album (admittedly not due till next year) with the release of a new single – Let it Shine. Work continues on the record this summer, when the band will be recording to tape at The Soul Shop in Medford, MA with …
News: Baby Godzilla forced into name change by Japanese Cinema Giant
One of our favourite new bands here on Backseat Mafia has been Nottingham noise rock / punks Baby Godzilla, following on from an amazing performance we caught them at at last years Tramline Festival. Sadly, they’ve come under the scrutiny of the Toho Co. Ltd, who own the Godzilla name, and who persue with some …
Table Scraps : More Time For Strangers
Birmingham, England’s Table Scraps are a duo that sound like more than the sum of their parts. The racket they make on their debut album More Time For Strangers is that of a Gothic Ty Segall; a hollowed-out, ghostly Stooges haunting Blue Cheer on some abandoned, dilapidated Michigan farm. This is dark, bellowing garage rock coming from …
Say Psych: Album Review – Wicked Sun by Narco States
Narco States are one of those bands who, on the surface, sound like many others who you could safely file under ‘garage’. There are the MC5/ Stooges wails and lo-fi drums, and thrumming bass. There is the sort of wailing organ swirling in and out of the mix which is redolent of any number of …
Track: Nai Harvest – Sick on my Heart
Following in a (increasingly) long line of duo’s from the steel city, come singer/guitarist Ben Thompson and drummer Lew Currie, aka Nai Harvest. If you heard last years Buttercups single, or Hold Open Your Head EP, you’ll know that they’re equally at home making indie rock, garage punk and feedback laden-grunge, the pair are back …
Track: The Brian Jonestown Massacre – Heat, plus new EP news

It features three band new (and unavailable elsewhere) tracks, recorded by Newcombe …
New Music: Little Racer – Punk Life
I sort of miss the days when on every street corner in every town was a little gang of punks. I remember being very small and seeing these cool people with ripped up t-shirts and bullet belts and 24 hole Dr Martins and Mohicans. I used to wonder if being a punk was a full …
