Band: CHALK
Who: Three earthshaking electro junks from Belfast, Ireland.
Last year, they unleashed their boiling hot 3rd EP, titled
Conditions III.
Track: TONGUE
New single from their upcoming debut album,
named Crystalpunk. It’ll show up on March 13th.
Ross Cullen (vocalist) “For the demo, I sang the opening few lines of the song
on my earphones microphone and that take made it to the final version. I had to
whisper because my girlfriend was sleeping beside me.
There was something ominous about the track and felt like it would be the beginning of something. I played the intro to Ben and it felt like a “Eureka” moment for us and felt like
we had accidentally taken care of the opening track for the album without thinking too
hard about it.”
TUTV: Alarm! Let the sirens blare! Armagddeon Time has arrived, folks! Run to the hills where CHALK will entertain us, before we go nuclear, with their new grenade. Tongue hits hard, really hard, on repeat. It’s a merciless brainbreaker. It’s an industrial sledgehammer. It’s mental! Perfect way to go out with a bing bang.

Manchester‘s rock gaiants OASIS released their blockbuster
hit DON’T LOOK BACK IN ANGER today 30 years ago, on
19 February 1996.
Sung by Noel Gallagher, the Oasis the Oasis anthem of all Oasis anthems
was their 2nd No.1 in the UK. Noel always said they he thought it was a
good dong, no more, no less, but that the public made it big and timeless.
All together now!
And so Sally can wait
She knows it’s too late
As we’re walking on by
Her soul slides away
But don’t look back in anger
I heard you say
Live with a choir of 80,000.

Significant longplayers from the past

American slacker rockers DINOSAUR JR. led by commander J Mascis
have released their 4th LP GREEN MIND, today 35 years ago, on
19 February 1991.
It was the band’s first release after their bassist Lou Barlow left to form
his own bands, Sebadoh and The Folk Implosion, as well as the first on
a major label.
The record is close to being a J Mascis solo album. He played most
of the instruments, with founding drummer Murph only featuring
on three tracks.
It peaked at #168 on the Billboard 200. Single The Wagon went to €22.
Rolling Stone: “Green Mind “sounds every bit as energetic and full-blooded
despite much of the record being performed solely by Mascis, whose guitar
playing, will bowl over even confirmed louder-is-better zealots.”

Who: Spiced EBM duo, Shannon Wise and Jackson Walkerwis,
from New York formed in 2022. So far they released 2 EPs.

a reputation for their electric live shows and irresistibly catchy hooks.
Shanny Wise and Jackson Walker Lewis have gone from playing standing-room only shows to packed out stadiums supporting Tame Impala, Justice, and Dom Dolla and selling out their own 1k+ headline shows in the space of just 2 years. The 11-tracks result you feel like you’re at their afterparty.”

On April 3rd all A PLACE TO BURY STRANGERS fans will jump for joy when the
horrificaly noisy New York vets drop their new album, named Rare And Deadly.
Press Info: “The record cracks open a decade-long vault of raw nerve and sonic chaos. Spanning 2015–2025, the collection gathers demos, B-sides, abandoned experiments, and forgotten fragments pulled from Ackermann’s personal archive of late-night recordings, blown-out tapes, and half-finished sessions.
These tracks capture the band at their most unfiltered, caught between
breakthrough ideas and beautiful mistakes, with the edges left jagged
on purpose.”
The first rare taster we get is a hellish riff
missile, named EVERYONE’S THE SAME.
Alert your neighbours before you press play.

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN and his E STREET BAND can’t stop rockin’ around on podiums.
They just announced a new US tour, billed as The Land Of Hope And Dreams American Tour. The tour poster says NO KINGS in all-caps, a big sneer at orange gorilla Trump, who thinks he’s the king of the world. It’s also no coincidence that the first show
is in Minneapolis on March 31.
Springsteen: “We are living through dark, disturbing and dangerous times, but do not despair — the cavalry is coming! Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band will be taking the stage this spring from Minneapolis to California to Texas to Washington, D.C. for the Land of Hope And Dreams American Tour.
We will be rocking your town in celebration and in defense of America — American democracy, American freedom, our American Constitution and our sacred American dream — all of which are under attack by our wannabe king and his rogue government in Washington, D.C.
Everyone, regardless of where you stand or what you believe in, is welcome — so come on out and join the United Free Republic of E Street Nation for an American spring of Rock ‘n’ Rebellion! I’ll see you there!”
And there’s more news.
Brave Films, an American multi-media organization that wants to create a
better America, using media, films, volunteers, and internet video campaigns.
They create a quick-strike capability that informs the public, challenges mainstream
media with the truth, and motivates people to take action on social issues nationwide,
They have just shared a new, loud and crystal-clear video.
The clip shows footage of The Boss recently calling for ICE to “get the fuck out of Minneapolis”, before it shows several American victims who have been arrested
by ICE agents in recent months and highlights the death of Renee Good, who was
fatally shot by ICE agent Jonathan Ross in Minneapolis on January 7.
Watch.
