New striking strokes
25 January 2023
Band: GOLDEN HOURS
Who: Based between Berlin and Brussels, the project is comprised of past and
present members of Gang Of Four, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Tricky, The Fuzztones
and The Third Sound, to name just a few. A band with mileage and stories, Golden Hours trade in rock’n’roll missives that are at times dark, tense and hypnotic, at others sweaty, relentless and danceable.
Debut single: COME AND FIND ME
From the upcoming eponymous debut LP,
out 31 March via Fuzz Club.
TUTV: Balancing between the maniacal days of Nick Cave’s Birthday Party
and Interpol‘s early, electrical turbulence Golden Hours nail it right away with
this absorbing debut stroke. The menacing bass, the gloom and doom
progression, the haunting vocals, it’s all there to get dazed and confused.
Find them here.

Brighton‘s psych-punk rock DITZ scored ‘best debut album’ on
Turn Up The Volume‘s 2022 list with their jagged jackhammer
THE GREAT REGRESSION.
For all wicked-noise junks who never saw this squad exploding
on a stage and for those who did and got blown away (like me)
I recommend their fresh live album, named ON THE BAI’OU.
You can get your copy (vinyl/CD/digital) via Bandcamp.

Expect frenetic forcefulness,
blistering bluster and
fucking fierceness.
Like on this knockout.

Artist: BAMBIE THUG (what a name)
Who: The musical moniker of
Irish artist Cuntry Ray Robinson
New single/clip: TSUNAMI
Thug: “The musician explains that the song in fact “seeded from a bicycle ride
I went on with Tylr Rydr in central London; I asked him to send me a beat that
sounded like our journey. I started the idea with a mate Charlie Hubbard and
finished the lyrics sitting on top of a bin in the rain in north London.”
“I was at point where nothing was going right for me and I needed to write
a song that embodied where I wanted to be: out of depression and top of
my game. Tsunami sat in the vault for over a year before I brought it to
Comanavago for additional production, now the beast has upgraded and
is finally ready to be birthed into the world.”
TUTV: Oh my, oh my. Wanna go ballistic? Wanna fight your worst nightmares?
Here’s what you need. A tsunami of blaring punk beats. Merciless bangs that do
your head, your mind, and your demons in. You’ll never forget Bambie Thug after
this punked-up electro-slam dunk. They’re creepy, devilish and sexy.
They’re an EBM witch, they’re 4 real, they rule.
Release the bats.

MARK E. SMITH, the wayward mastermind of incomparable Manchester post-punk
outlaws THE FALL died 5 years ago today, on 24 January 2018. He was only 60.
Smith was no less than a troubled genius, a fascinating wordsmith, a modern poet and made more records in his short lifetime than Radiohead would ever be able to complete
in a full century.
In memory of this once in a lifetime artist and the countless brill line-ups of
his band Turn Up The Volume picked these 25 psycho mafia Smith crackers.

His best quote ever.
