Check out the new video by MSSV – Mike Watt, Mike Baggetta, and Stephen Hodges!

Today, we are psyched to debut the new video by MSSV! MSSV is the power trio composed of Mike Baggetta, Mike Watt of The Minutemen, and Stephen Hodges (Tom Waits, Mavis Staples, David Lynch). MSSV finds the band locking indie-punk into free form playing, resulting in a constantly shifting, multi-leveled, head bopper. The video for "On and On" finds Watt throwing his distinct, crackling bass lines under Baggetta's soaring guitar, which halfway through, warps from indie jiving into thin Lizzy worship. It's rad. The video, created by Kevin A. Webb, also has a neat Double Nickles on the Dime reference. Speaking to Punknews, MSSV's Mike Baggetta said: "I originally wrote this song for my cat, Duke, but in hindsight, like so many songs, it’s actually about everything else…"The Record and the digital version of the release are two distinct animals: The digital versions of the album feature eight separate tracks. But, The vinyl features these pieces joined into two continuous side-long movements by six band-improvised interludes. These improvised, then recomposed, instrumentals had their parts recorded separatelyby each member, then edited down, recombined and arranged by Baggetta. Whoa! On and On is out March 7 via Big Ego Records and you can check out the new video below, right now!

DS Exclusive: Massachusetts’ Sunday Junkie unleash new track “Holy, Holy”

Happy Wednesday, comrades! We’ve got another cool new track to debut for you today.

Happy Wednesday, comrades! We’ve got another cool new track to debut for you today. Today’s track comes to us all the way from the famous hills of the virtually-unpronounceable city of Worcester, Massachusetts, by way of a duo who go by the name Sunday Junkie. The duo – multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Tom Martin and drummer and percussionist Shawn Pelkey – are planning to put out their debut full-length later this year, and the brand-new track “Holy, Holy” gives us a taste of what’s to come.

Here’s what Martin had to say about the track:

“I had issues with drinking in the past, and the lyrics on ‘Holy, Holy’ pretty heavily revolve around using alcohol as a means of self-medicating and ignoring a larger, underlying issue. It can be pretty insidious when it seems to provide relief, but the toll it’s taking is more evident to those around you and they just hope you can eventually see it too. The line ‘Honey on our tongues / Sucking on the rind’ is more of a reference to having everything at your fingertips, not realizing it, and choosing to throw it away instead.”

Check out “Holy, Holy” below (and dig around at Sunday Junkie’s bandcamp page to check out their first two singles, “Vultures” and “Haunted Head” while you’re at it!

Interviews: Becoming clouds in the morning and rain in the evening with ameokama

Whether you’re familiar with Aki McCullough from A Constant Knowledge of Death, Nu House Studios, or her time in Dreamwell, one thing is certain: she is a creative powerhouse. Aki has channelled that creativity into every aspect of her solo project ameokama from the nine tracks that make up her debut album i will be clouds in the morning and rain in the evening to the detail-filled visuals that accompany the record.i will be clouds in the morning and rain in the evening commands your full attention from the first line of “my fears have become fetishes” and doesn’t let you go until the final haunting note of “gila river” fades away. The experimental nature of ameokama is on full display as she uses the expansiveness of metal, the danciness of electronic music, and the beautifully heavy textures of noise to create extremely dynamic songs that embody a multitude of emotions. The viscerally poetic nature of the lyrics back this up as she explores a wide range of topics including mental health, identity, and intergenerational trauma. i will be clouds in the morning and rain in the evening will be out everywhere on February 7. You can pre-order it right here and you can support Aki on Patreon here. Punknews editor Em Moore caught up with Aki to talk about the album, her creative process, taking inspiration from queer literature and Japanese mythology, and so much more.
