Band: CF98
Who: Polish skate-punk trio, who bring positive vibes, energy, uplifting songs, party
and melodic punk rock wherever they go, since 2008. They played hundreds of club
shows and plenty of festivals in Europe, the UK and Japan and many to come.
Brand-new single from their upcoming, 6th album Stupid Punk, out 24th October.
TUTV: Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah! These Polish punk bohos double
your adrenalin production in just 189 blistering seconds. Echoes of
the full-throated American giants Blink 182 and Green Day come to
mind. You may hate your life, but don’t hate CF98.
For those about to rock CF98 salute you. Put your roller skates on and
zigzag through your kitchen, pretending you’re riding a Formula One
race car.
Right here, right now.

Gillan, 2nd from the right
Singer IAN GILLAN was born in Chiswick, Middlesex, England
on 19 August 1945. Happy 80 to one of the greatest voices
ever in rock history.
He joined hard rock titans DEEP PURPLE in 1969 (they were named Episode Six
at that point) after being in several local bands. He left the band already in 1973,
after 5 LPs, to go solo with his own band and he also was the singer for Black Sabbath
for one year in 1983.
Gillan returned to the group in 1993, and has remained its lead singer ever since.
Many rock fans, certainly the fanatic ones, will remember him always for his jaw-dropping vocal tour de force on their 10-minute classic Child In Time from their notorious 1970 LP ‘Deep Purple In Rock‘. Watch/hear a spectacular live version above.
That classic – reworked instrumentally – is now part of the soundtrack for the fifth
season of American sf-horror series Stranger Things, which starts streaming on Netflix from November 26 onward. Listen to the new version below.

It’s been 9 years since RADIOHEAD released their last LP A Moon Shaped Pool.
Afterward all members, mostly frontman Thom Yorke, did solo work or got involved
in collaborative projects.
But they’re back now, well, sort of. They just shared a live album, named HAIL TO THE THIEF LIVE RECORDINGS 2003-2009. The album compiles live versions of 12 of the songs from the 2003 record taken from performances in London, Amsterdam, Buenos Aires and Dublin. Have a listen below, great quality.
‘There There’ live in Buenos Aires
Thom Yorke: “In the process of thinking of how to build arrangements for
the Shakespeare Hamlet/Hail To The Thief theatre production. I asked to hear
some archive live recordings of the songs. I was shocked by the kind of energy
behind the way we played.
I barely recognised us, and it helped me find a way forward. We decided to
get these live recordings mixed and released (it would have been insane to
keep them for ourselves). It has all been a very cathartic process. We very
much hope you enjoy them.”
The album will also be available on vinyl
as a one-off pressing, out October 31.
Pre-order here.

Band: SOUR TONGUE
Who: Los Angeles-based punk turbine formed in the early days of the 2020 pandemic
by Satori Marill and John Murphy. Fusing disco with grunge, hardcore punk with country, plus much more, they utilise humour and a degree of sonic absurdity to convey a deeper message of angst and desperation.
“When it stops being fun, we’ll end it.”
Track: I THOUGHT YOU LIKED ME!
Single from their brand new toptier
EP Final Girl. Stream/buy it below.
Satori Marill (vocalist/songwriter): “I wrote the song about being manipulated and
lied to, getting fed up and reversing the roles. I wanted to talk about reactive impropriety,
but with a feeling of guilt tucked beneath it, because I think a lot of people are ashamed to admit when they do something out of spite. I think anyone who has ever had their heart
broken and done something stupid in return can relate to it.”
TUTV: The riff-roasting rodeo starts with a bone-chilling scream. From there on
all cannons are ignited with behemothic drumming/bassing, slash-and-burn guitar pyrotechnics and a schizophrenic chorus that rips your brain apart. Sounds like big
fun, right? You betcha. And the best news is that the other 3 pieces on their brand
new EP are of a similar backbreaking kamikaze caliber. Pell-mell shit!

Join the 80,000.
We the people fight for our existence
We don’t claim to be perfect but we’re free
We dream our dreams alone with no resistance
Fading like the stars we wish to be
You know I didn’t mean what I just said
But my God woke up on the wrong side of his bed
And it just don’t matter now
As little by little we gave you everything you ever dreamed of
Little by little the wheels of your life have slowly fallen off
Little by little you have to give it all in all your life
And all the time I just ask myself why you’re really here?
True perfection has to be imperfect
I know that that sounds foolish but it’s true
Day has come, now you’ll have to accept
Life inside your head we give to you
You know I didn’t mean what I just said
But my God woke up on the wrong side of his bed
And it just don’t matter now
As little by little we gave you everything you ever dreamed of
Little by little the wheels of your life have slowly fallen off
Little by little you have to give it all in all your life
And all the time I just ask myself why you’re really here?
As little by little we gave you everything you ever dreamed of
Little by little the wheels of your life have slowly fallen off
Little by little you have to give it all in all your life
And all the time I just ask myself why you’re really here?
Why am I really here?
Why am I really here?
