Another year, another Jukebox to fill with new
tracks, 5 twice a week, for your aural pleasure.
This is the 5th batch of 5 new rad ones of 2026.
ALL TOGETHER
TRACK BY TRACK
Artists: DEAD ANYWAY
Who: British duo that sets the dark lyricism of Kate Arnold
against the music and soundscapes of Marc Symonds. A mix
of poetry, electronica, and guitars.
Track: A SHIFT OF PERSPECTIVE
Lead single from their new, forthcoming, 7th longplayer, named
Squeak Piggy Squeak, and out on February 6th. More info here.
TUTV: What the hell is this? Must be the most dancey, vibey, and trippy track
of their sonic canon. A Shift Of Perspective has an irresistible pelvis-energizing
swing spiced with sparkly guitar play and, of course, Kate Arnold‘s spoken-word
panache. Let the siren howl.
Fantabulous!

Band: DOWN THE LEES
Who: The post-rock noise project of seasoned Canadian
singer/songwriter/guitarist Laura Lee Schultz. DTL released
3 notable albums, so far.
Track: DEAD AND OVER
2nd shared piece from the band’s concert
movie, titled This Is How It Feels.
TUTV: Another torch burning jam enflamed with feverish, ominous
and sinewy guitar dynamism, a high-strung rhythm section, and
Schultz‘s delirious vocals.
Top-drawer effort.

Band: SPECIAL FRIEND
Who: French-American indie
guitar pop, based in Paris.
Track: BREAKFAST
New preview from their upcoming 3rd album, named
Clipping. It’ll arrive on March 20th. More info here.
TUTV: Breakfast immediately made me think of Canadian girl power pop band
The Beaches and New Zealand‘s peppy outfit, The Beths. This is the kind of blithe
ditties that kick-start your mood after your first coffee in the morning. Trip and
hop along the speedy flow and the frolicsome duet vocals.
Boosting injection.

Band: THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS
Who: Alt rock duo – John Flansburgh and John Linnell – started their
journey way back in 1982 and have since released 23 albums.
Track: EYEBALL
The title song of their
brand new 4-track EP.
TUTV: These two giants are musical addicts. If you have released 23 albums, you
deserve some blue ribbons. And they’re not done yet. They’re still full of energy.

Artist: GOTH FIGHT CAGE
Who: The moniker of DIY singer-songwriter Mark Holloway
of Belfast’s heavy weight fuzz champions, Fagash McCann.
Track: I’M NOT IN LOVE WITH YOU
‘The sound itself comes from the nature of the home recordings, I’m limited
in what I can do in certain places so I’ll tend to lean more into more scrappy
lo-fi/garage sounds. The gear I like to use is simple and mostly broken.’
TUTV: Full electrifying speed from the get-go. This swirling guitar-riffing
missile has an adrenalizing gusto that makes your head spin 360°, while
Holloway lets his sentiments roll out, loud and clear.
