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.
Despite the poor critics, the album topped the US Charts for 7 consecutive weeks starting this day 45 years ago, on 26 July 1980. It also reached the No. 1 spot on the British and Canadian UK Charts.
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
New album artwork
Band: NOVA TWINS Who: Potent urban R&B punk two-piece,
and vocalist/guitarist Amy Love, from London.
2024 was their blitzkrieg breakthrough year with
their top-shelf debut full-length Letter To Self.
Track: BEG
One of the new songs, along with Rage, released at the same time, from their
2nd longplayer, called All That Is Over. It will
hit the streets on September 26th.
A slice of jacked-up post-punk volcanism.
Malificent tension in the air. Scalding.
Band: DON BRONCO Who: British megastar metal loudmouths, with only
4 full lengths in 27 years. Lazy bastards. Wait, a 5th
one is rumored to be recorded.
Band: GIANT DAY Who: Post-punk-art rock duo from Pennsylvania, featuring Derek Almstead (The Olivia Tremor Control, Elf Power, The Glands,
of Montreal) and Emily Growden (Faster Circuits, Marshmallow Coast).
Their debut album Glass Narciccus
came out, last year in August.
Track: DEVIL DOG
New single from their 2nd, upcoming LP,
named Alarm, out on October 10th.
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.
Just under 200 members of the public were in the audience for the show. 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.
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.
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.
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!
