JUKEBOX 2026 – WEEK 13 – Five New Rad Tracks Added Twice A Week
Hello, music junkies.
Another batch of 5 new, stellar tracks have
been added to Turn Up The Volume’s Jukebox.
Listen up.
ALL TOGETHER
.
TRACK BY TRACK
Artists: LIFELOOSE
Who: Aldi Ho and Josie Silverman, two friends who met at London’s Guildhall Middle School . Together, they make throbbing, hedonistic dance tracks with murmuring deadpan vocals.
Track: LIFELOOSE
“‘Lifeloose’ is our dark and hypnotic satirical take on self-importance. Mixing irony
and seduction, the floaty vocals flirts with a crusty breakbeat and DIY wacky electronics.
The party’s only just begun.”
TUTV: This is wham-bam awesome. Booming bass beats hit your bones relentlessly and put your mind in a trance while delirious peek-a-boo voices cause a twilight ambiance for some shadowdancing. Tricky trip hop stuff. Transcendent vibrations!

Band: BOYR!OT
Who: Boisterous Los Angeles-based duo. Their journey began with a fateful meeting on Tinder in 2017, bound by a shared passion for emo and pop-punk music. They craft a nostalgic yet contemporary soundscape akin to Good Charlotte, 3OH!3, and My Chemical Romance, all viewed through their distinctive queer, outsider perspective.
Track: HOLLYWOOD NIGHTMARE
Press info: “It’s an escapist anthem about partying through an emotional crashout. Fueled by recession-pop attitude and the chaos of early-2000s tabloid culture, BOYR!OT cranks up the emo angst with punchy guitars and scream-it-back hooks.”
TUTV: Electro-cuting drones hammer your skull in non-stop, while hopped-up voices accelerate the blitzkrieg ride you’re on, from the get-go. When the traumatic chorus
kicks in, it’s time to go completely ballistic. WTF! Yes, that’s the feeling.

Band: THE N.S.O.
Who: A Yorkshire (UK) four-piece who mix various influences and genres into their work resulting in a sound that is enticingly fresh and exciting. They combine dark and gritty vocals with light hearted melodies making for a winning combo at every turn.
Track: COUNSELLORS CALL
“Counsellors Call is a conversation with yourself, your partner, your boss, your friends or your ‘counsellor’. It’s realisation and contradiction in one, to a familiar rhythm in a humorous way, just like life itself.”
TUTV: Take up the phone and shake-swing-sway along to the strumming
Coral-esque guitar swagger at work here. Counsellors Calls is a jumpy, frisky,
and pop-juiced tune that will bounce in your head for the rest of the day. Bingo.

Band: SEADOG
Who: Dream-pop outfit from the mystic shores of Brighton.
They have 2 albums under their belts. Cabin Fever Blues (2018)
and Internal Noise (2024).
Track: AGAINST THE GRAIN
Press info: “An indie anthem for the underdog. A celebration of the ones who carve their own path, rather than follow the herd. The song embraces that raw authenticity and the care-free energy of youth.
Sleeve artwork by B. Kayla Bell
TUTV: Against The Grain balances somewhere between smooth Dinosaur Jr moments
and guitar-layered fuzziness by Band Of Horses, invigorated with rigid drum/bass pulsations and spacey melodiousness. On top, silvery vocals float along, bringing Sparklehorse‘s hallucinatory vocals to mind. Splendiferous stroke.

Band: MATT JONES AND THE BOBS
Who: Indies from Southwest Virginia, who have woven a tapestry of raw emotion and timeless storytelling since their formation in 2011. They have released their debut album Brother’s Hymn in 2014.
Track: WICKED WAYS
Matt Jones: “The song is our nod to family, forgiveness, and the strength it takes to become better men. It’s about looking back without shame and owning where we came from, but also who we’ve grown into. It celebrates brotherhood and grace during a period of outgrowing our past without forgetting it.”
TUTV: When sonic sepia-colored melancholia, sparkly guitar maudlinism, and heartrending vocals come together in a song like the way it happens here, your ears will get enthralled with a touching, don’t look back in anger, reverie that makes you feel good about the place you’re in with your loved ones. Electrifying nostalgia for all of us.

MUSE – British Rock Giants Announce Album #10 And Share First Single ‘BE WITH YOU’
Vitaziling tunes that work faster than a stream of caffeine
24 March 2026
British rock giants MUSE, fronted by the emo-loaded Matt Bellamy
started their triumphant odyssey back in 1994. WTF! That’s 32 years
ago. Stop the clocks.
It’s been 4 years since their latest album Will Of The People, hit planet Earth.
Now the wait is over for all MUSE fanatics.
Album #10, named The Wow! Single First comes out on June 26th.
More info here.
Press info: “Muse are a culturally-attuned, genre-defying band who channel the anxieties of each era—technology, power, rebellion, and identity—into maximalist, stadium-ready rock that evolves with the times while staying unmistakably Muse.”
Along with the news, the band dropped the first single, titled BE WITH YOU.
Pure MUSE. Another bombast-fueled nugget powered by booming synths, Bellamy‘s hysterical guitar entering the room midway, and his melodramatic vocals.
VAN HALEN Scored Their First No. 1 Album In The US With ‘5150’ Today 40 Years Ago
Back in time
24 March 2026
Californian heavyweight rockers VAN HALEN (1972–1999, 2003–2020)
scored their first No. 1 album in the US with their 7th, named 5150.
It topped the charts on 24 March 1986, today 40 years ago.
It was the first of 4 LPs with red rocker Sammy Hagar on vocals,
replacing David Lee Roth, who left to pursue a solo career. He
would return in 2007.
Many called the new incarnation Van Hagar. The nickname was so ubiquitous that,
as Hagar later pointed out in a book, record label Warner Bros asked to consider
renaming the band as such. The Van Halen brothers refused.
The LP’s artwork features an Art Deco depiction of Atlas
kneeling while holding a mirror-polished metallic sphere
on his shoulders.
Rolling Stone‘s verdict: “Part of Eddie Van Halen’s cheeky genius lies in his ability to think in terms of both complex orchestration and rock banalities. Eddie can still split the atom with his axe, and he knows it. It’s a Van Halen world with or without David Lee Roth, and 5150 shoots off all the bombastic fireworks of a band at the peak of its powers.”

5 BRAND NEW ALBUMS To Razzle-Dazzle Your Ears
23 March 2026
Band: LADYTRON
Who: British electro pop act, still with three of their
original members, since 1999, with a hiatus now
and then.
ALBUM: PARADISES
UNCUT Magazine (British music monthly): “Momentum sags somewhat over its lengthy duration, but it also unquestionably features some of their finest, and funkiest, work to date.”
TUTV: Vintage electro pop bliss, the Ladytron way. Sticky, soothing New Order– and Pet Shop Boys-like melodies are nested within waves of scintillating synth radiance, while silvery vocals add tranquillising vibes. EBM for daydreamers.
KEY TRACKS: In Believe In You / Kingdom Undersea / A Death In London /
Caught In The Blink Of An Eye / Metaphysica and Solid Light

Artist: KYE ALFRED HILLIG
Who: Singer-songwriter from
Tacoma, Washington.
Album: THE ALL-NIGHT COSTUME COMPANY
His 9th. Order info here.
Press info: “It’s a record born from necessity rather than momentum, written during
a period when Hillig had nearly walked away from music altogether, and found himself worse for it. What emerged instead is his most vital and clear-eyed work to date, an
album shaped by collapse, community, and the unglamorous work of staying alive.”
TUTV: KAH’s warm and enthralling Americana voice injects his mixed-emotions songs with a puissant Tom Petty swagger, a rock-solid John Mellencamp zip, and, at times, a Billy Bragg tenacity.
Hillig‘s versatile songwriting skills shine throughout this highly appealing
and enrapturing record. I’ll have it on my earphones for a long time.
KEY TRACKS: The Horrible Truth / Divorce Of Course Of Course / Jules Can You See Me? / Something Is Different / Our Remaining Pig / We Were Right (‘Til We Were Wrong)
SINGLE
ALBUM
Band: CHALK
Who: Earthshaking electro junks from Belfast, Ireland.
Album: CRYSTALPUNK
Their debut, following 3 EPs
over the past 4 years.
NME: “A knockout collection of arresting dance-punk. Ultimately, for all the personal meaning poured into ‘Crystalpunk’, it’s an album about unity. The unity in the oppositional soundscapes Chalk pull together, and the connection that’s possible once your individuality becomes a badge of pride. Because in ‘Crystalpunk’, there is something to believe in.”
TUTV: Decibel alarm! Chalk bombard your eardrums with a flaming flurry of disco-punk torpedoes. A sonic storm of nuclear projectiles put the flexibility of the Richter scale to the test. Think Depeche Mode on a ton of steroids. Let’s all run downtown, to the nightclub, and get the unifying party that those Irishmen are aiming at started.
KEY TRACKS: Tongue / One-Nine-Eigth-Zero / Skem / I.D.C

Band: JACOB THE HORSE
Who: Raucous and sharp-tongued
punk indies from Los Angeles.
Album: AT LEAST IT’S ALL OVER
Their 2nd one.
Press info: “Jacob the Horse take on the rise of modern fascism, dealing with anxiety, and rallying cries for anarchy and Satan on new. It hits that nostalgic sweet spot of classic punk with elements of grunge, while bringing in tight, modern, folk-punk lyrical content that speaks to the time we’re living in now. It sparks equal parts anger and depression, while making sure we’re all having a great time listening.”
TUTV: Holy smoke! An unstoppable tidal wave of riot-riff-gun punk-rockers attack your stereo, ears and eventually your whole shaking body with a vehement Green Day urgency and targeted Bad Religion discharge. Double middle-finger for all political tyrants.
They’re busy destroying our planet. Let’s chase these scumbags out of here, so all their corrupt BS blows over. While doing so At Least It’s All Over will be your call-to-arms soundtrack. Attack. Now.
KEY TRACKS: Bad New Religion / 666 Chicks / The Black Hand / Totally Depressed / Closer

Artist: DAMAGED BUG
Who: Solo project of Osees‘
24/7 riff-maniac John Dwyer.
Album: ZUZAX
His 5th as DB.
Dwyer: “I feel like it’s every artist’s calling to construct personal messages cloaked
in moments of escapism. It’s a bit of a joyous/sad record dealing with hope and
forgiveness, two things which I hope end up more in my life.”
TUTV: With Damaged Bug, Dwyer demonstrated/demonstrates that he’s way
more than a guitar freak. So, yes, less hyperkinetic electricity, more funky/punky
grooves, spiced with beat-rich percussion, subtle synth textures, and even a sax on the alluring meditation Over-Exposed.
Btw, Dwyer picked these 11 songs from a total of 40 he has written between tours. So, we can expect more bugs in the near future. Does this guy-in-shorts ever sleep?
KEY TRACKS: End Of The War / Hoak / Junk Food / Over-Exposed / Tented Lights
ELVIS PRESLEY Released His Self-Named Debut LP This Day 70 Years Ago
Significant longplayers from yesteryear
23 March 2026
The mighty King released his rock-game-changing, self-named debut LP
on March 23, 1956, today 70 years ago. OMG, 70! This sounds so unreal.
The album spent ten weeks at Number One on the Billboard Top Pop Albums Chart,
the first rock and roll album ever to make it to the top of the charts, and the first
million-selling album of that genre. It also topped the UK Charts.
41 more LPs (compilations not included) would follow.
Back sleeve
The photograph of Elvis on the front cover was taken
at the Fort Homer Hesterly Armory in Tampa, Florida
in 1955.
The LP’s graphic styling and photo were also used on
an EP and a double-EP comprising songs from this LP,
also released in March 1956.
The design was echoed by several other artists such
as The Clash for their 1979 double masterpiece album
London Calling.
Pop-ular music would never be the same again.
