New Release: Is World

Hailing from Moline, Illinois, this week’s release is by Is World, a dreamy indie rock band with anthemic tunes. This duo of Steve Maule and Ian Lambach results in a four-track EP full of driving guitar and soft-shouted vocals. “Turning EP” is a very promising first release that will definitely leave you wanting more from Is World.

Given Willingly is a long-time mam!records member and supporter.  Today, we are proud to bring you his brand new full-length album.  Given Willingly creates music that somehow combines the worlds of audio collage art with vocals that often feel strongly rooted in punk ethics.  Check it out!

New Release: el-tin fun’s “sunburned skeptics”


This week’s new release is another welcome addition to the el-tin fun cannon.  Check out all nine new recordings in this free release, and if you enjoy it, buy it from the artists themselves.  I think this album really captures the experience you get seeing them live – maybe with a few extra frills, of course.  My favorite track is by far “helicopter freeekouts.”
