KING GIZZARD & THE LIZARD WIZARD: “Fuck Spotify”

27 July 2025

Yesterday, Aussie collective KING GIZZARD & THE LIZARD WIZARD
released a new collection of demos with this message “out everywhere,
except on Spotify (fuck Spotify)
. The band have removed 99% of their
music from Spotify.

Since it was reported that German company Helsing, which develops AI software
designed to enhance military weapons and equipment has the same CEO as Spotify
with Daniel Ek and raised nearly $700 million with an investment led by the venture
capital firm also founded by Ek and Shakil Khan, musicians like Deerhunter and
Xiu Xiu
have left Spotify.

26 July 2006 – Final TOP OF THE POPS Edition Taped

26 July 2025

The final edition of legendary British record chart TV programme TOP OF THE POPS
was recorded at BBC Television Centre in London on 26 July 2006, today 29 years ago.
It was broadcasted on July 30th.

Former classic performances from the Spice Girls, Wham!, Madonna, Beyoncé and Robbie Williams featured in the show alongside The Rolling Stones who were the very first band to appear on Top of the Pops on New Year’s Day in 1964.

DAG OCH NATT – Swedish Dreamers Serve Shoegazy Layered Trip With New Single ‘TUNIS’

Daily electricity to load your batteries

26 July 2025

Band: DAG OCH NATT
Who: Swedish indie newcomers – three ladies
and a gentleman – from Stockholm.

Track: TUNIS
3rd single from their upcoming debut album,
entitled Years and Years, out on 15 August
via Labrador Records.

The band about the new song: “On a sunny and hot summer day, we got carried
away by the chords and let ourselves float. Tunis is an emotional drift about how
nothing stays the same — and how to find peace with that.”

TUTV: Have yourself a satisfying shoegazy dream with this psychedelia-soaked
7-plus-minute trip. Layers of glistening guitars carry a sparkling melody floating
from cloud to cloud, while crystalline vocals come and go. The ambient ambiance
is somewhat outlandish and surreal, augmenting the peculiar sonority.

Ghostly experience.

Band: PUNCHBAG

Who: A new electrifying brother-sister duo- Clara and Anders Bach – from
South London colliding the raw unfiltered energy of punk, with the overflowing
ecstasy of pop. With fierce tempos and ferocious energy, their music is an
explosively cathartic release of raw intensity and unapologetic fun.

Track: I LOVE THIS!
New single. It follows their piping hot 4-track debut EP
I’m Not Your Punchbag, released last May.

Clara: “I guess you could see this song as an anti-depression anthem! You can hear
the highest highs and the lowest lows — almost like it’s soundtracking the extreme
sport of everyday life.

Because sometimes it really is an extreme sport, so the highs should be celebrated.
Getting through a shit phase should be danced about! With synths, a dance tempo,
and something to shout! All that positive stuff.”

Wake up people!
Prepare for a runaway
electro punk train!
KO in 3 minutes!
