Martian Subculture Debut EP ‘Mars’
From his base in Ireland’s Limerick City, Martian Subculture creates leftfield, lo-fi psych rock.

The record label that he calls home has shown a distinct knack giving a platform to mad scientists. Samedi Records released Altopalo’s critically acclaimed ‘Frozen There’ last September, and here we are a year later with Black Fly’s sumptuous new single ‘Wait’. The video is just as captivating as the song itself.
New Single & Video: Max Freytag – ‘Picasso Fish Island’
In a bar tucked away under the tram lines in Cologne’s Belgian quarter, the Max Freytag Trio bring their audience an evening of cool jazz to drive out the Autumn blues.
From their opener, the trio captivates the room. The first half of the set sees delicate piano virtuosos bringing a relaxed, pensive air over the bar and Max Freytag effortlessly lulls the crowd into a gentle melancholy before the soft melodies break into an upbeat swing. Part two sees all heads bopping as the trio turns it up a notch with hip, oscillating grooves.
PA’s The Stargazer Lilies shared Tobacco-produced “Dizzying Heights” via Flood
There’s a moment three songs into The Stargazer Lilies’ new LP Occabot, out November 1st on TOBACCO’s Rad Cult imprint, where everything falls into place like a puzzle that had been missing one last piece for years. With battery acid beats and overblown guitars leading the way alongside sand-blasted choruses and lumbering bass lines, “Foreverless” sounds like a metal record submerged in sugar packets and cough syrup — heavy as hell, yet full of hooks.
