See: Tim Muddiman & The Strange release video for ‘Rolling Stones’
Long time Gary Numan guitarist and Pop Will Eat Itself cohort Tim Muddiman has revealed a new video for his own project, naming him alongside his band, The Stange, for their new track, Rolling Stones.

See: Whisky Stain release video for The Lord’s Revolver
Around since 2011, meeting somewhere between London and Nottingham, and straddling other duos Royal Blood with a touch of Drenge and even a whiff of the much missed (at least by us here at Backseat Mafia) Wet Nuns, Whisky Stain have just released their new single, The Lord’s Revolver on I’m not from London Records. …
See: Little Brother Eli – ‘Dreams’ Music Video
Back with another highly impressive video (and creating a hefty dose of beard envy), Little Brother Eli have just released the music video for their song ‘Dreams’.

Everyone is still shuffling around, finding a space or deciding whether or not to stay now the racing is finished as the Kaisers unceremoniously file onto the stage and …
Album Review: La Luz – Weirdo Shrine
La Luz are a gutsy band. After the release of their debut album, 2013’s It’s Alive, they had a near-fatal high speed accident in their tour van. That’s the kind of event that would leave many at a loss but La Luz soon went back to touring and wowing audiences with their unique live style. …
Meet: John J Presley interview

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 …
