Widely lauded British band EDITORS formed in 2002,
delighted their countless fans with 7 LPs, hitherto.
Last December, frontman/songwriter TOM SMITH released his
solo debut album There Is Nothing In The Dark That Isn’t There
In The Light and yesterday, he returned with his Editors for a brand
new single, named Call It In.
And today he’s celebrating his 45th birthday. Happy B.

One small question, Gary, do you already have an answer for “are friends electric.”
Vitalizing tunes that work faster than a stream of caffeine

New York‘s cast-iron trio SHOW ME THE BODY have released
their first new music of 2026 with hammer and tongs haymaker
DANCE IN THE USA .
No sign yet of a 4th longplayer. Their last one
Trouble The Water came out in 2022.
Julian Cashwan Pratt (frontman): “The song is about how we implore style
to survive in this reality. It’s how we embrace the struggle of ourselves, our family’s,
and those around you. It’s the dance that we all do – how we hustle, the good
and the bad things we do – just to get through it.”
[Verse 1]
If there ain’t no heaven, this is hell on earth
You can tell me ways, but only mine will work
Hundred days a week, they playing their tricks on you
It’s a fools’ game, but I ain’t one to lose
[Chorus]
Dance in the USA
Dance for the dues paid
Dance in the USA
Dance in the USA
[Post-Chorus]
Sun shines in hell, sun shines in the city
Sun shines in the USA
Sun shines in hell, sun shines in the city
Yeah
[Verse 2]
You’re either getting fucked or you’re doing some fucking too
Time to choose
Better move quick now, baby, junkie’s gotta shoot
It’s a fools’ game, but I ain’t one to lose
TUTV: May the body force be with you, America.
Start dancing, it’s time for a big change, people.
Tour Dates
Hello, music junkies.
Another batch of 5 new, stellar tracks have

ALL TOGETHER
.
TRACK BY TRACK
Band: CYPRESS HILL
Who: The weed-fueled hip-rap-hoppers
from South Gate, California.
Track: CAMPEONES
New piece from their upcoming 11th LP. A project performed entirely
in Spanish that aims to highlight their Latin roots and reconnect directly
with their cultural heritage. Tracklist & release date TBA.
It features fellow rapper Mellow Mace Ace.
TUTV: Vamos, rapeemos. Cypress Hill let pelvis move from left to right and
back to the accordion’s ambiance. Sickly sticking melodia. Fix yourself a
cocktail and sway your body to the party beats.

Band: FACS
Who: Chicago-based art rock/post-punk trio
formed in 2017. So far, they have released
5 full-lengths.
Track: PARALLEL LIVES
The band will be on tour in Australia
with Chimers, and to commemorate,
they’ve bagged a split 7″.
TUTV: The electrically-rampant debates open with out-of-tune guitars, progress lazily,
and freak out from the 3-minute mark. Kafkaesque unbridledness for chaotic minds.

Band: BUTTHOLE SURFERS
Who: The Texan post-rock-punk veterans who
came together in 1981 and unleashed 8 albums
to this day.
Track: IMBUYA
Title cut from their brand new 4-track EP (2 studio, 2 live tracks).
Stream here.
TUTV: This messy, speed-up psych jam with neurotic drum ‘n’ bass percussion
in the back is a flipped-out stunner. The surfers age backwards. Whoopee-doo.

Artist: SUKI WATERHOUSE
Who: Songstress, actress
and model from London.
Track: TINY RAISIN
New single from her forthcoming 3rd album, called
Loveland. It comes our way on July 10th.
Waterhouse: “A love song at its core. It’s a song that stands by the fact that real love in its truest essence can be chaotic, ridiculous, and imperfect, while still being something that is absolutely worth choosing over and over again at the end of the day.”
TUTV: Power pop glamour with witty lyrics and fabulous vocals. Dumpfounding class.

Artist: MARTIN CARR
Who: Former guitarist of Britpop
idols The Boo Radleys.
Track: WHAT FUTURE
The title song of his
upcoming album, out
this Friday, May 1st.
Carr: “I’ve been putting together these sounds for many years but this
is the first time where I thought ‘this doesn’t really sound like anything else
and decided to put it out.”
TUTV: Techno daft-punk on the run. Electro rock shock. Winding mix of paranoic synths, bass booms, and some helium-infused Carr interventions. Good grief. What a brainfucker.

I am a SHARON VAN ETTEN fan since year one (2007). The New Jersey-based sogstress has (so far) 7 longplayers under her belt with last year’s Sharon Van Etten & the Attachment Theory as her latest one.
For this adrenaline shots sheries I picked her astounding live rendition of
SEVENTEEN at Glastonbury Festival in 2019 from her Remind Me Tomorrow
album (2019).
Magical voval finale.
Shivers down your spine.

Oklahoma‘s rock champs, THE ALL-AMERICAN REJECTS, haven’t been
really quite active during their 27-year career. So far, only 5 full-lengths,
new one included.
The new one is titled SANDBOX. It’ll be launched
on May 15th. Tracklist & pre-order info here.
Tyson Ritter (frontman) told NYC’s magazine Paper: “This album has taken
a lot of fireside chats, and a lot of mending fences. I think I said in an interview
before. People don’t really want a new All-American Rejects record.
People want their time capsule and want to jump into it and feel like they smell
CK One and it makes them feel young. But the question I pose is, ‘What if we can
say something now? What if we can actually resonate?’”
TUTV: The band have already previewed 6 out of the 12 LP’s tracks.
Six fucktastic rockers, definitely harbingers for a prodigious album.
And when, unexpectedly, the other 6 pieces would be stinkers, we’ll
still have a half-whopping record I’ll play until my ears bleed.

The @RollingStones seemingly confirm new album ‘Foreign Tongues’ with mysterious international billboard campaign https://t.co/GJR6zDs9UX
— NME (@NME) April 27, 2026
After a series of cryptic billboards popped up across the globe,
the past few days, it looks like The Rolling Stones have revealed
the title of their upcoming album.
The billboards feature the iconic Stones logo and the same phrase repeated
in various languages. In Dutch, it says VREEMDE TONGEN, which means in English,
FOREIGN TONGUES. Different fan groups on social media say that the LP will be
out in July. It’ll be their 25th, following 2023’s comeback Hackney Diamonds.
The news comes after the release of last week’s vinyl-only single,
called Rough & Twisted, under an old alias, The Cockroaches.
On April 10th, the red-hot-cooking rock blues intro of the song was shared
under the Instagram account of thecockroaches2026, whether this was with
the band’s fiat is not known, but the clip is still online, so I guess Jagger & Co
knew about it.
Listen here.

Brooklyn‘s rockers GEESE are arguably the most talked about band in the
universe thanks to their sublime 3rd LP Getting Killed, praised around
the globe, and their bewildering gigs.
Yesterday they showed up at the New York Mets
game versus the Colorado Rockies.
The band’s bassist Dominic DiGesu threw out the first
pitch (watch below), but it didn’t help the Mets to win.
It was a 3-0 loss.

Artist: AHVA
Who: A Finnish experimental indie pop artist crafting peculiar sounds for the joy-hungry. Blending melodic songwriting with adventurous sonic experimentation, Ahva draws from the playful spirit of early-2000s indie icons to create music that feels both familiar and genuinely strange.
Track: TRAPPED IN FREEDOM
The title cut his brand new 5-track EP.
You can stream it here.
The song was written during the COVID lockdowns in Helsinki and reflects a disorienting stretch of time where days blurred together, shaped by life at home with young children and a fading sense of routine.
Ahva: “You’re technically free, but in practice, you’re very much trapped.”
TUTV: If this rad, rolling booster doesn’t arouse all of your limbs, you need to consult
your therapist or change your meds. Trapped In Freedom causes a rush of blood to the head. It feels like you’re on an out-of-control carousel, like a steamed-up, percussive-energizing scurry, while bracing vocals add extra dynamism.
This is the kind of invigorating tune that helps you destress so you can face
your daily grind and the treadmill we’re on. Eureka, we have a winner.
Press play.
Go berserk.
