ALL TOGETHER
.
TRACK BY TRACK
Artists: LIFELOOSE
Who: Aldi Ho and Josie Silverman, two friends who met at London’s Guildhall Middle School . Together, they make throbbing, hedonistic dance tracks with murmuring deadpan vocals.
Track: LIFELOOSE
“‘Lifeloose’ is our dark and hypnotic satirical take on self-importance. Mixing irony
and seduction, the floaty vocals flirts with a crusty breakbeat and DIY wacky electronics.
The party’s only just begun.”
TUTV: This is wham-bam awesome. Booming bass beats hit your bones relentlessly and put your mind in a trance while delirious peek-a-boo voices cause a twilight ambiance for some shadowdancing. Tricky trip hop stuff. Transcendent vibrations!

Band: BOYR!OT
Who: Boisterous Los Angeles-based duo. Their journey began with a fateful meeting on Tinder in 2017, bound by a shared passion for emo and pop-punk music. They craft a nostalgic yet contemporary soundscape akin to Good Charlotte, 3OH!3, and My Chemical Romance, all viewed through their distinctive queer, outsider perspective.
Track: HOLLYWOOD NIGHTMARE
Press info: “It’s an escapist anthem about partying through an emotional crashout. Fueled by recession-pop attitude and the chaos of early-2000s tabloid culture, BOYR!OT cranks up the emo angst with punchy guitars and scream-it-back hooks.”
TUTV: Electro-cuting drones hammer your skull in non-stop, while hopped-up voices accelerate the blitzkrieg ride you’re on, from the get-go. When the traumatic chorus
kicks in, it’s time to go completely ballistic. WTF! Yes, that’s the feeling.

Band: THE N.S.O.
Who: A Yorkshire (UK) four-piece who mix various influences and genres into their work resulting in a sound that is enticingly fresh and exciting. They combine dark and gritty vocals with light hearted melodies making for a winning combo at every turn.
Track: COUNSELLORS CALL
“Counsellors Call is a conversation with yourself, your partner, your boss, your friends or your ‘counsellor’. It’s realisation and contradiction in one, to a familiar rhythm in a humorous way, just like life itself.”
TUTV: Take up the phone and shake-swing-sway along to the strumming
Coral-esque guitar swagger at work here. Counsellors Calls is a jumpy, frisky,
and pop-juiced tune that will bounce in your head for the rest of the day. Bingo.

Band: SEADOG
Who: Dream-pop outfit from the mystic shores of Brighton.
They have 2 albums under their belts. Cabin Fever Blues (2018)
and Internal Noise (2024).
Track: AGAINST THE GRAIN
Press info: “An indie anthem for the underdog. A celebration of the ones who carve their own path, rather than follow the herd. The song embraces that raw authenticity and the care-free energy of youth.

TUTV: Against The Grain balances somewhere between smooth Dinosaur Jr moments
and guitar-layered fuzziness by Band Of Horses, invigorated with rigid drum/bass pulsations and spacey melodiousness. On top, silvery vocals float along, bringing Sparklehorse‘s hallucinatory vocals to mind. Splendiferous stroke.

Band: MATT JONES AND THE BOBS
Who: Indies from Southwest Virginia, who have woven a tapestry of raw emotion and timeless storytelling since their formation in 2011. They have released their debut album Brother’s Hymn in 2014.
Track: WICKED WAYS
Matt Jones: “The song is our nod to family, forgiveness, and the strength it takes to become better men. It’s about looking back without shame and owning where we came from, but also who we’ve grown into. It celebrates brotherhood and grace during a period of outgrowing our past without forgetting it.”
TUTV: When sonic sepia-colored melancholia, sparkly guitar maudlinism, and heartrending vocals come together in a song like the way it happens here, your ears will get enthralled with a touching, don’t look back in anger, reverie that makes you feel good about the place you’re in with your loved ones. Electrifying nostalgia for all of us.
