MOGWAI & IGGY POP Go ‘UNDERGROUND’

1 October 2026

Scottish mavericks MOGWAI celebrate their 30th anniversary.

To mark the remarkable event they will release a career-spanning compilation,
with a total of 28 tracks, baptized HAPPY TEARS: THE STORY OF MOGWAI on
8 January 2027.

It will feature songs from across their career, and
also rarities from across their discography.

Tracklist and pre-order info here.

They will also include a brand new song, called UNDERGROUND
performed with no one other than your punk dog IGGY POP.

Pop: “I’ve always liked Mogwai. The opening of the track reminded me of the crushing modern loneliness. The sung vocal, felt like it was made for someone who is pissed off and doesn’t mind saying so.”

Stuart Braithwaite (Mogwai‘s guitarist/vocalist): “Hearing the Stooges had been a life-changing moment for me. Their self-titled album was pretty much my bible. It was druggy, dumb and completely primal. I’d never heard anything quite like it and even though that
band had pretty much fallen apart by the time I was born, I grew to love the three Stooges albums as much as any music I’d heard.”

Now let’s go to business. Here comes their lust for life
collaboration UNDERGROUND. A torrid motherrocker.
A happy song for happy people.

DEATH FROM ABOVE 1979 Announce Their 5th Album ‘PRIVATE LIVES’ And Present The Crushing Title Track

Canadian bulldozers DEATH FROM ABOVE 1979, bassist Jesse F. Keeler
and drummer/vocalist Sebastien Grainger are back in noizz town.

They’ve canned their 5th album, their first in 6 years. It’s titled PRIVATE LIVES
and will hit the streets on 29 January 2027. Tracklist and order info here.

The artwork uses early imagery. See here.

Press info: “Death From Above 1979 have for up more than 25 years maintained
the reputation for raucous, in-your-face rock music that’s packed with energy and
hooks galore. And they’re not done yet.

Private Lives finds them more invigorated than ever before, with sharp and tangy
melodies complimenting the duo’s signature low-end thickness and eternally cool swagger.”

Grainger says: “When we first started making music, it was as easy as going down
to the basement. It was a physical process. An extension of just hanging out and living
together. As the years went by, the process became more deliberate.

“The trick is to remember what makes it fun and special. Our band has always been
a balance of sweet and sour. Heavy music that’s also tender and playful. We’re really
cooking when we lean into those contradictions.”

The title track is the first single.
An ear-shattering assault that
rocks fiercely.
