Band: LIME GARDEN
Who: 4 guitar pop Amazons from
Brighton(UK) on their way to stardom.

Track: DOWNTOWN LOVER
Brand new, 4th shared piece from their upcoming,
2nd album named Maybe Not Tonight. It’ll land on
April 10th.

Chloe Howard (vocalist/guitarist): “Downtown lover came from three chords and
my need to investigate my regular avoidant behaviour within romantic relationships.
I saw the phrase ‘downtown love’ in an article online talking about some peoples
constant need for something new or attention in general when dating.

Through recognising this in myself and in an attempt to try and understand why
I act the way I do, I threw this one out in a matter of minutes on my acoustic guitar.”

Another buzzing and fuzzing earworm
to play out loud wherever you are allowed
to do so without getting the police on your
back.

DOWN THE LEES – Passionate Powerhouse Trio Released Live Goosebumps Movie/Album ‘THIS WHAT IT FEELS LIKE’

Posted on by JL

18 March 2026

Band: DOWN THE LEES
Who: A passionate powerhouse trio, rooted in Vancouver and Belgium, and now based
in the Okanagan Valley, by guitarist/vocalist Laura Lee Schultz, with Andy Ashley on drums
and Chris Carlson on bass.

So far, DTL have released 4 albums. 360 1/4 Degrees (2008), The Guest Room (2008),
Bury The Sun (2019), and Dirt (2024). You can and should, if you haven’t already, check them all out via Bandcamp or Spotify.

Three records that show the evolution in the trio’s towering noise-rock escapades,
marked by an inflaming emotionality, a torch-burning feverishness, and frontwoman Schultz sky-scraping vocals. Her poignant lyrics are embedded in a wall of astonishing thunderstorm-sound, creating a trance-like atmosphere that mesmerizes.

Following album No. 3 the band toured and filmed a high-concept concert at
the Mary Irwin Theatre in Kelowna, Canada. It features 5 tracks from Dirt, 3 from
Bury The Sun and the stupendous non-album track Midi-Doric.

One of the best live records I heard in a long while.

Get ready for a relentless roller coaster,
a gigantesque noiz tour de force,
a bone-chilling experience.

BUTTHOLE SURFERS Return For Release Of Lost Album ‘AFTER THE ASTRONAUT And Share Groovin’ Taster ‘JETFIGHTER’

Posted on by JL

Vitalizing tunes that work faster than a stream of caffeine

18 March 2026

San Antonio‘s heavyweight rockers BUTTHOLE SURFERS
made a lot of out-of-the-way riff racket between 1981 and
2017 with 8 LPs.

In 1998, they had canned a new album, titled After The Astronaut,
but their label at the time, Capitol Records didn’t like it and cancelled it.

The band changed labels and fabricated another LP, named Weird Revolution
with songs from the dumped After The Astronaut, but the critics sabered it.

Now, after all these years, the Surfers got back to work to rejuvenate the album
the way they want it, and it’ll hit the streets on June 24. Pre-order info here.

King Coffey (drummer) says in a press released
that the original vision for the LP was different:

“After the Astronaut was a fun project. We were using all the digital toys at our disposal at the time, and it felt much like the creation of Locust Abortion (1987). We were playing with new toys, creating things that amused us with the crayons we had, and we weren’t worried about radio airplay. It felt like we were going back to our experimental roots while still navigating the major label ecosystem.”

Along with the news comes a first taster,
a jangly-shaky groover called JET FIGHTER .

Fly high.
Here. Now.

Back then.

Ben Gibbard: “‘Riptides’ is about the challenge of dealing with personal struggles as
the world around us experiences tragedy and loss on an unfathomable scale. And how
when these two elements intertwine themselves in our psyches, it feels utterly paralyzing.”

HĂśSKER DĂś – Guitar Rock Champs Released 5th LP ‘CANDY APPLE GREY’ Today 40 Years Ago

Posted on by JL

Significant longplayers from yesteryear

17 March 2026

HĂśSKER DĂś (guitarist/vocalist Bob Mould, bassist Greg Norton, and drummer/vocalist Grant Hart) turned up the decibels between 1979 and 1988 with no less than 6 LPs.

The 5th one, named CANY APPLE GREY, came out on 17 March 1986, today
40 years ago. It was their first major label release, though Warner Bros.

Candy Apple Grey was the first HĂĽsker DĂĽ album to chart on the Billboard Top 200,
but despite positive reviews, exposure with the singles on radio as well as MTV, it
only went to No. 140.

AllMusic said in retrospect: “Demonstrating that punks can mature without losing
their edge, Mould inverts the rules of conventional confessional singer/songwriter songs
with these two haunting numbers, and in doing so, he illustrates the faults with the relatively staid post-hardcore punk that dominates the remainder of the record.”
