AWAY FANS – London’s Disco Punk Indies Serve You The ‘PERFECT MOMENT’ To Twirl Yourself Dizzy
Daily electricity to load your batteries
5 March 2026
Band: AWAY // FANS
Who: Jumpy London team, formed in 2020, classing themselves as an indie-dance five piece who set out to make music that gets everyone dancing, screaming and misbehaving. Formed in the early part of the 2020’s
Track: PERFECT MOMENT
“Perfect Moment is an ode to messy nights and hungover mornings with the people you love.
It’s a celebration of youthful stupidity and hedonism, as well as the long-lasting connections we can make in all the silliness. Inspired by bands such as The Streets, and taking elements of UKG, whilst in- keeping with the current wave of danceable, clever indie from bands such as Wet Leg, Drycleaning, and Getdown Services.”
TUTV: C’mon, get your lazy butt off your couch and shake your booty to this
bass-propelled twist-around this stimulating invigorator. This is the perfect moment to throw your furniture out of the window and make some room for your twirling actions.
The rapping vocalist shows the way backed now and then by cheery harmonies,
while the diligent drummer produces an addictive disco beat, which made that
1978 hit Born To Be Alive popped up on my stereo in my head. All said that, it’s
time to work out.
Twilrl yourself dizzy.

NICK DRAKE – Second LP ‘BRYTER LAYTER Released 55 Years Ago Today
Significant longplayers from the past
5 March 2026
The late, idolized and personally troubled British singer-songwriter NICK DRAKE, born Nicholas Rodney Drake, who died by suicide in 1974, only 26, released his 2nd (of his 3) albums, titled BRYTER LAYTER on 5 March 1971, today 55 years ago.
Nick Drake soon after the release: “I had something in mind when I wrote the songs, knowing that they weren’t just for me. The album took a long time to do, in fact, we started it almost a year ago. But I’m not altogether clear about this album – I haven’t got to terms with the whole presentation.”
Rolling Stone: “Drake’s melodies are seldom less than enchanting. Built around acoustic folk-jazz guitar figures and muffled percussion, they become emotionally charged when shaded by arranger Robert Kirby’s poignant, eddying strings. Drake’s impressionistic lyrics are vivid but provocatively sketchy, making them as curiously personal as phrases mumbled in sleep. They’re delivered in an airy, nearly unconscious whisper that blends as naturally into the arrangements as a breeze rippling through tall grass.”

#14 of “The Greatest Albums of the ‘70s” – NME (Legendary British music weekly)
#245 of “The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time” – Rolling Stone Magazine
TUTV: Musically his most frolicsome LP. Romantic pearls about loss
and loneliness. 5-star reveries with a relaxing and dreamy timbre.
Intimitaly arranged and orchestrated.

Album artwork
Chris: “We made this record in eight to ten days. Bringing the high and inspiration
from our previous LP ‘Happiness Bastards’ into this album, it was a natural progression.
We experimented more, we wrote on instinct and how we were feeling in the moment. Rich brought a spontaneity to the record that I can’t describe, but it’s the best shit he’s ever done.”
Rich: “This album feels transformative to us. Going back to our roots, we felt that spark
in the studio and how we work together. Lighting a fire that hits harder, more jagged but
is still true to our musical essence.”

Band: DOPAMINE FIX
Who: Fresh-Irish indie duo who’s manifesto says a lot about them:
“With a nod to the Dadaists, we create Post Punk, Experimental and
Electronica which aims to unnerve, to disturb and to question.”
Track: REAL
“This piece speaks from inside the aftermath: after the damage, after the noise,
when certainty has begun to fail. In a world shaped by artificial intelligence, disinformation and continuous media manipulation, perception is no longer shared. Reality becomes something assigned rather than lived.”
TUTV: Dopamine Fix offer a voltaic, jump-up-and-down earworm
that bangs and booms from start to finish, like disco legends Erasure
with a punky vibe. Trust me, they’re for real, and they produce real
sonic stimulants.
Play that funky music, here and now.

Band: CAPE CRUSH
Who: Power-emo rockers
from Boston, MA.
Track: PLACE MEMORY
New piece from their new,
forthcoming album.
Ali Limpkin (vocalist and guitarist): “The term ‘Place Memory’ is the supernatural theory that a place can hold an energetic memory, like when you hear ghostly footsteps or a disembodied voice, that perhaps you’re not hearing something intelligent, you’re hearing a repeat of that memory played back to you as if on tape. Or maybe you’re hearing your sister on the other side of the veil? The song talks about the choice we don’t make becoming a sister ship bound for a different route. One that we can only wave at from the shoreline.”

TUTV: Who said indie guitar pop is dead? Go away. On second thoughts stay
and try to not lose yourself in this 6-string whirlwind steaming all over you.
You will fail.
Cape Crush rush and race rivetingly with no intention to slow down
on their swift run. One word. Electromagnetic. I told you, doubters.
Listen and get my drift.
Applause! Applause!

Band: TELENOVA
Who: Dreamy guitar pop
trio from Malbourne, AU.
Track: EMPIRE
Piece from their brand new
full-length The Warning.
TUTV: Here’s a feather-light pop tune for a sunny spring,
colored with sparkly guitar riffs, sweet mixed emotions
vocals and a head-nodding beat.
Bubbly. Bouncy. Breezy.

JOHN LENNON Said In An Interview 60 Years Ago Today: “THE BEATLES ARE MORE POPULAR THAN JESUS NOW” (Which They Were)
4 March 2026
60 years ago today, on 4 March 1966, JOHN LENNON‘s said in an interview with British newspaper The London Evening Standard that The Beatles were “more popular than Jesus“.
This quote drew no attention in the UK, but when republished in the US a few months later, angry reactions flared up in Christian communities. Extensive protests broke
out with some radio stations banning Beatles songs, and their records were publicly burned.
Years later…
“Christ, you know it ain’t easy
You know how hard it can be
The way things are going
They’re gonna crucify me”
