Music Friyay: The Damned, Sweet Megg & the Wayfarers, Man Man

By Joanna C. Valente

Here’s some music, new and old, you should listen to and check out:

The Damned - “Black Is the Night”

The British punk band is releasing a 39-song anthology on November 1st. Here’s a taste from it in the form of a new song. It is, of course, a divine goth dream.

Sweet Megg & the Wayfarers - Sweet Megg & the Wayfarers

This Brooklyn-based 1920s-jazz band is a gem. They’re 2017 album is perfect for any dinner party or cooking session.

Man Man - Beached

The eccentric Philadelphia-born, now LA-based band, just released a new EP of two songs, both of which are strange and melodic. My favorite is, of course, “Witch.”
