Mega Bog. That’s a mad band name isn’t it? They’re a band on Mexican Summer and largely speaking, that’s a record label you can trust. Well, Mega Bog have a new track out called ‘Love Is’ and it’s a tremendous, neon, shimmery thing that you’ll like. Erin Birgy from the band says of Westerman’s appearance…

There’s a lot of doom-laden music knocking around at the moment. The magnificent and downright frightening Lankum have a new LP out and culty GOAT have been weirding everyone out again.

IT WASN’T MEGHAN IN DISGUISE AT ALL
One of the weirder things about the coronation of Sausage Hands Charlie (amongst a myriad of utterly bizarre things, honestly – we’ll get to that at the end) regards a man sat in the throng who looked like someone in disguise.
