ALL TOGETHER
TRACK BY TRACK
Andrew Falkous – Brussels 2025 – Photo by Turn Up The Volume
Band: MCLUSKY
Who: Welsh notorious post-punk noiseniks
featuring Andrew Falkous from tumultuous
turbo Future Of The Left.
Track: I KNOW COMPUTER
New piece from an upcoming mini album.
It follows last year’s flabbergasting full-length
The World Is Still Here And So Are We.
Single artwork
TUTV: Vintage Mclusky clatter. Bass and guitar have
a fiery fight, and Falkous spits and sneers as we are
used to for a long time.
Slam-bang hullabaloo.

Band: PUNCHBAG
Who: Revved up brother-sister duo from South London,
colliding the raw unfiltered energy of punk, with the overflowing
ecstasy of pop. Last year they released their red-hot debut EP
I’m Not Your Punchbag.
Track: I’M OBSSESED
Piece from their 2nd EP,
out April 10th.
“It’s about being completely obsessed with something or someone,
but not in a cute way, more in a ‘your whole body is under attack’
kinda way. It’s sort of disordered, chaotic, overwhelming.”.
TUTV: Another scathing sucker-punch from these pumped-up siblings.
I’m Obssesed is a mid-tempo cry-out with a shrieking, multi-vocal chorus.
Striking stroke.

Band: HUNGRY
Who: Unabated guitar energized
team from Manchester, UK.
Track: CAMBRIDGE IS ON FIRE
Jacob Peck (frontman/lyricist): “ The song expresses our frustrations with
middle-class comforts, over-analysis without action, nimbyism, intellectual
cowardice as a stand-in for material change and all too easy deference to
business and power.
TUTV: These Manchester punk dropouts hit hard. All greedy sharks in
our collapsing society better run and hide. Hungry go on a roasting rampage,
powered by a propulsive bass/drum tandem, neurotic guitars, and berserk
vocals.
Ferocious uppercut.

Band: STEVE
Who: Belgian noise/industrial/hip-hop outfit who
released their 5-track debut EP Not A Person in 2024.
Track: I’M NOT DEAD
Brand new single.
It captures the feeling of barely surviving in an over-stimulated, hostile world,
where sleep is the only refuge and being “not dead” feels like the only victory left.
TUTV: Creepy vocals dominate this draggy-paced trauma, causing a bone-chilling experience. Think early Einstürzende Neubauten. There’s an almost unbearable
tenseness in the air from start to finish.
I’m Not Dead sounds like the theme song of a horror movie with a vicious
snake sneaking towards its helpless prey. Watch under your bed before
you go to sleep.
Mind-boggling.

Crédits : Charlotte Pneumonie
Artist: BIRTAWIL
Who: Solo project of French musician
Xavier Godart who played in some bands
before.
Track: SENTO
New single from his upcoming album Dua Min.
Out on 27 February. More info here.
TUTV: Relentless percussion, industrial shockwaves, and blood-curdling guitars
push this nightmarish trip to hellish places. Sento is a hypnotic, instrumental jam,
both freakish and mind-bending.
Spookish score.
