Slowly but surely all sorts of best-of-2023 lists will get pop up.

Notorious American music website STEREOGUM founded in 2002 and
winner of many awards, is the first with a 2023 list: 40 Best New Bands.
Check them all out HERE.

TURN UP THE VOLUME picked 5 of their 40.

– MODEL/ACTRIZ –
(Brooklyn, NY)

Part scrawling dance-punk, part feverish anxiety attack, all swagger.

– SNÕÕPER –
(Nashville, TN)

They unleash rapid-fire chaos. Their debut LP is 20 minutes long.

– SPRINTS –
(Dublin, Ireland)

Off-kilter rock music, filled with massive choruses and an infectious rage.

– THE TUBS –
(London, UK)

Their songs are jangly and romantic, as enthusiastic as they are fast.

– PUPIL SLICER –
(London, UK)

Slicer make music as cut-throat and deranged as their name suggests.

By the way, none of Stereogum‘s 40 new bands list
is on my best-new-bands-2023 list. I’ll come up with
my picks later.
