5 new firecrackers to boost your favorite 48 hours…

The Gathering by FRANK TURNER (UK)
An anti-quarantine anthem that makes your speakers go berserk. A striking stonker inviting us to come together and freak out like we used to do before that nasty virus changed our lives. C’mon, folks, make your move…

It’s Okay To Be Tired by MEENA (Manchester, UK)
This is a hypnotic gem that grows on you with every spin, and I had many (so far). It’s an electrifying jam, both haunting and sticky as first-class glue, bringing Mogwai and Arab Strap to mind, with a Manchester accent that is. The track is from their splendid new EP Can’t See. Press play and get impressed…

It’s Not Too Late by THE HACIENDAS (Manchester, UK)
Brit-rock with passion, panache and poignancy. A powerstroke driven by flaming guitars and peppy vocals and a mighty chorus you can sing along at the top of your lungs. Ace!

Weather Strike by Tom Morello and PUSSY RIOT
Riot, bloody riot, yeah! Morello and Pussy Riot rage against the machine together with
a quiet/Loud/quit/Loud crossover hammer blow. I repeat: riot, bloody riot, yeah.

Click ‘Watch on You Tube‘ and bang your head against the wall…

I Said That You Looked Fine by ALEX JAMES (North-East England)
This stomping cracker has an instant effect on your body movements. Expect a steamy ripper that rattles and rolls with swagger and energy. Big guitars, big chorus, big tune.

See/hear you next week, music junkies…
