The mysterious collective known as Man or Astro-Man? hail from the lowdown depths of Alabama, though their sound is hardly Southern, or American, or even terrestrial. Having released music throughout the ’90s and ’00s on garage punk stronghold Estrus Records as well as the legendary Touch and Go Records, they have wasted no time earning their places as mainstays in the American rock underground. Although they’ve released 10 full-lengths to date, chronicling quasar-hoppingquests and intergalactic misadventure in every direction, the centerpiece of their tenure will always be the band as they are on stage, frenetic, focused and swaddled in literal lightning from a homemade Tesla tower. Naturally, when the fine folks at Third Man Records began planning festivities for Record Store Day 2016, they could not help but indulge in the surf madness of Man or Astro Man? No doubt a signal of things to come—namely the first vinyl record played in space. The result is a retro-futurist surf riff bombast. The career-spanning set (which did include a Tesla tower and, ultimately, a charred drum set— yikes!) was a thermonuclear drag race and a welcome addition to a world-class live series.

Although there’s never a perfect substitute for being in the room when an artist owns the stage, Third Man Records continues to bottle the iridescent magic of the Blue Room with Man…Or Astro-Man? Live.

Renowned for destroying genre boundaries, versatile Dutch garage punks 45ACIDBABIES are about to unleash their next instalment, an undeniable head-turner of a tune that encompasses everything the band are all about. ‘Mommy’s Favourite 1’ will land on the 5th March.

After their 2020 single ‘3 (Walk With Me)’, Sophia de Geus, Daniel Brem, Robin de Geus and Giorgio Paquay are getting back into releasing ways with a sucker-punch of a record that will continue to shock and intrigue their ever-expanding fanbase. It’s easy to see why they’ve clocked up millions of Spotify streams and ‘Mommy’s Favourite 1’ is no exception.

Featuring a relentless grooving bassline that Billie Eilish would be proud of, this is controlled chaos at it’s best. A truly gnarly punk-infused pop track that dips in and out of hip-hop, grunge and garage rock. The fuzzy guitar work, nod-to-the-90s vocals and overall stadium-sized feel make this one a true kick-starter for 2021. On their new single, the band added:
“Our newest single ‘’Mommy’s Favourite 1’ is about an Odyssey sirene island like situation that refers to the situation we’re all in right now. The COVID-19 life we’re living. It’s sung by ‘’The mother’’ who kidnaps lost people in the streets and takes them home to submerge them into a hypnotising party that will make you feel like you’ve escaped the real depressing life for a moment. Everything seems all fun and games. The perfect night. But then you find out you can never leave.”

Forever vibrant, energetic and downright original, 45ACIDBABIES have opened the floodgates on incredible new music over the last few years, including their 2019 debut album ‘Amber 19.’ There’s a reason they’ve shared the stage with the likes of The xx, Blood Red Shoes, Sleigh Bells, De Staat, Millionaire and many more and they’re quickly becoming the band that you NEED to know about.
Brace yourselves for this one!
