ST. VINCENT Parties Once Again On Her New Dazzling Dancefloorfiller ‘BIG TIME NOTHING’
Daily noise that works than faster any stimulant
25 April 2024
Album artwork
Glamorous songstress ST. VINCENT (born Anne Clarke, 41 years ago in
Oklahoma) delivers her 7th LP, called All Born Screaming tomorrow
Friday, on April 26.
Clarke: “If you’re born screaming, that’s a great sign. Because it means you’re
breathing. You’re alive. My god. It’s joyous. And then it’s also a protest. We’re all
born in protest in a certain way. It’s terrifying to be alive, it’s ecstatic to be alive.
It’s everything.”
Ahead of the LP release St. Vincent hurries to drop the third
new single off it. BIG TIME NOTHING is a 24 Carat dazzling
dancefloor killer. Party time again.
Wake up people,
move and groove
to the sultry beat.

LAMBRINI GIRLS Go Nuclear On Their New Sassy Sucker Punches ‘GOD’S COUNTRY’ And ‘BODY OF MINE’ – Available Now On 7″
Daily electricity to load your batteries
24 April 2024
Amazing single artwork
Band: LAMBRINI GIRLS
New single: GOD’S COUNTRY / BODY OF MINE
TUTV: From playing in a bar for 30 people last year, in April, in Belgium (I was there)
to the upcoming 800 cap. gig in the legendary London venue Scala half June, to the
iconic Glastonbury Festival at the end of that month.
The plain-spoken feminist Brighton warriors went supersonic the past 12 months, with
their cooking 6-track EP You’re Welcome under their belts, and nothing/nobody will stop them to keep on turning our world upside down as we like it.
They surely play their two new nuclear sucker punches everywhere,
the Brexshit attack on GOD’s COUNTRY and the sharp-knife-cutting
gender-themed BODY OF MINE. Now available on 7″.
Order info right HERE.
Beware music junkies and gig addicts, don’t miss the best band in
the universe right NOW, as they probably tour Mars to play for green
Martian punks by the end of the year.

24 April 1969 – THE BEATLES Scored No. 1 Hit In The UK With ‘GET BACK’ 55 Years Ago Today
Top singles from the past
24 April 2024
Like for millions of people on this planet, THE BEATLES are also for me,
the best band ever. Their virtuoso musical talent, their innovatory songwriting,
their Lennon/McCartney magic, their vocal bliss, made them turn pop music
into something that elevated pop-ular music to an ingenious, very accessible
form of entertaining art all over the world.
This day 55 years ago, they scored one of their countless No.1 hits
in the UK with GET BACK. Also, No. 1 in the US, in several European
countries, New Zealand, Australia and Canada. It featured on their
final LP Let It Be
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back Jojo
They played the song on their famous rooftop performance.

DEADLETTER – British Post Brexit Punks Share New Funk Punk Chant ‘MERE MORTAL’ From Their Upcoming Debut LP
Daily noise that works faster than any stimulant
24 April 2024
(Press photo via FB)
Band: DEADLETTER
Who: Hailing from Yorkshire, now South London rooted, this band channels
the droll fury of The Fall and the lopsided rhythm of Gang of Four into a strain
of vehement post-punk, exploring the darker side of existence through a lens
of narrative-driven levity.
New single: MERE MORTAL
Piece from their long-awaited debut LP Hysterical Strength,
out on 13 September. More info here.
New album artwork
Zac Lawrence (frontman) about the LP: “It’s punishing but there’s also fucking beauty out there. Being able to take something disgusting or disgraceful and make it sound nice through the power of music, that juxtaposition appeals to me.”
TUTV: With two bang-on EPs and a couple of striking stand-alone singles, DEADLETTER already earned their place in the impressive cast of post-Brexshit bands like shame, Ditz, Gallus, Lambrini Girls, Bad Nerves, black midi, Black Country New Road and more.
Mere Mortal is another funk punk DEADLETTER chant. It grooves and moves, rattles
and rambles while Lawrence unleashes another stream of thoughts like a words waterfall and that sultry sax pops up now and then again. There’s always a sonic light shining at the end of the tunnel that calls life. Bingo!
Wake up, people.
DEADLETTER is coming
on, really strong.

METZ – Canadian Noise Challenging Crusaders Flabbergast With 5th Album ‘UP ON GRAVITY HILL’
Rad new longplayers
23 April 2024
Canadian noise-challenging crusaders METZ have their
5th LP, titled UP ON GRAVITY HELL out. Order-info here.
Press info: For those who believe in the power of the rock band to exemplify the
highest resonance of human connection, there is much on ‘Up On Gravity Hill’ to lift
the spirit, a puzzle worth repeated listening to unlock or just to get lost in again and
again. Lyrically, Up On Gravity Hill pulls no punches: this is a record about death the
way all art is ultimately about death, yet it crackles with life and intensity.
Alex Edkins (voice/guitar/lyrics) : “We’re at the point now where we feel really strong as
a band and as musicians, and there is no second guessing our collective instincts. Allowing ourselves to branch out and work with other musicians has been a blessing and also continues to remind us that what we have, our musical bond, is very rare and really special. The lyrical content is more heart-on-sleeve than I’ve ever allowed myself to do. I tried to be direct with my words, this record felt like a big step.”
TUTV: ‘Up On Gravity Hill’ blows your mind, your psyche, and your ears
for 34 thunderous minutes of razor blade wall-of-sound exorcism. Vintage
chainsaw voltage (No Reservation/Love Comes Crashing, Entwined (Street Light
Buzz), Never Still Again and the ace anti-advertising ballyhoo sledgehammer
’99’), a mean drum/bass machine throughout, and Edkins‘ mixed emotions
cry outs combine for a rough helter-skelter ride.
No arty farty BS for them, no special effects. All cylinders, all burners. It’s only
on the gripping mid-tempo closing reflection that the trio slow down a bit but
still make your stereo tremble. A great ending to another great record.
Flabbergasting achievement.
Metz rule big time.
