Daily electricity to load your batteries

Band: TRÄŠHBAG
Who: Hefty Irish duo from Dublin (where everyone seems to in a band lately).
They spent time playing in numerous bands together or standing in for each

In this the pair found freedom to explore new ideas and sounds, pulling from
a wide range of influences including punk, funk, prog and metal.
Track: BULLET TO MY BRAIN 2
Only their 2nd single, following their boiling
debut slam White Van from last June.
TUTV: Expect some filthy garage rock hubbub. These 2 Irish ramblers
put their trash where their bag is. Broken guitars, nerve-racking bass and
drum attacks and vocal hurly-burly arouse every nerve in your pogoing
body, in just 145 seconds.
Brainsick right? Then reach for the repeat button and restart your solo moshpit.
Two words.
Harum scarum.

L7 – Californian’s Grungy Rock Legends Start Final Tour Tonight And Share Unreleased Track ‘LOME LINDA’

Jennifer Finch the bass player of all-female Californian rock band L7
from 1986-1996 and then, after the band’s hiatus, from 2014 to 2026,
sadly passed away last July due to brain cancer. She was 59.
The band decided to go ahead with their planned final tour, which
starts tonight in San Diego. Former L7 bassist Janis Tanaka will replace
the unfortunate Jennifer Finch.
They also shared a previously unreleased track today, called LOMA LINDA.
The song dates all back to 2003, when the band recorded the original demo alongside bassist Janis Tanaka. It’s available as a free download on their website for the next week.
Donita Sparks (vocalist/guitarist): “I was searching the band’s archives and came across this unfinished track from when Janis was in the bands. It still sounded rather fresh and very L7 so we recorded new vocals with new lyrics and some other additional tracks and cranked it out in a couple of days ahead of this upcoming tour. Gotta warn ya, we dig it and hope you do too.”
