In order to not miss a beat TURN UP THE VOLUME scans the musical
horizon daily, for 10 years now, to pick ace tracks and add 5 new ones
twice per week, to the one and only JUKEBOX playlist that matters.
ALL TOGETHER
The 5 fresh ones
TRACK BY TRACK
Band: SHAME
Who: The searing Britpunk squad
fronted by blabbermouth Charlie Steen.
Track: QUIET LIFE
Second taster of their 4th longplayer,
titled CUTTHROAT and out on Sept 5th.
Steen: “‘Quiet Life’ is about someone in a shitty relationship. It’s about
the judgment they receive and the struggle that they have to go through,
trying to understand the conflict they face, of wanting a better life… but
being stuck.”
A sickly sticky earworm you would expect to come
from The Lathums rather than shame. Love it.

Track: GOD SAVE THE PONY
New single from their 2nd album, named
National Average that came out of nowhere,

BS groove and move in a desolate disco where the fast
up-and-coming duo Getdown Services and veteran rap-poets
Sleaford Mords rehearse too.

Band: HOME COUNTIES
Who: Vivacious indie act
from Buckinghamshire, UK.
Track: HUMDRUM
Title track of their forthcoming LP,
that will land on October 24th.
“It recalls cringing as your replay conversations in your head after
they’ve happened and the frustration of coming up with better things
to say in retrospect. It’s also about being jealous of people who talk
shit, say nothing, and still seem to come out on top.”
Post-talk frustration
wrapped in melodic
pop catchiness.

from Wrexham, Wales.
Track: CARIAD

Delirious power ballad.
