High-decibel hardcore rockers TURNSTILE from Baltimore, Maryland released
their blockbuster full-length, their 4th album overall, Never Enough, one year
ago and then cruised all around the planet to heat up their fans.
And… they still don’t have enough. They
just announced new shows. See below.
For tickets and more details, scroll down to
the bottom of their website’s homepage HERE.
Artist: THE ALCHEMIST Who: Renowned American rapper/DJ Alan Daniel Maman, regarded as one of the most influential producers in modern hip-hop and underground rap. His frequent collaborators include Mobb Deep, Larry June, Action Bronson, Freddie Gibbs, Roc Marciano, ScHoolboy Q, Griselda, Boldy James, Earl Sweatshirt, and Curren$y.
TUTV: Manchester, the world capital of great rock & pop legends like Oasis, The Smiths,
The Stone Roses, The Happy Mondays, Joy Division/New Order, and other luminaries, all massively celebrated for their unforgettable music, their badass swagger, and cool charisma, frequently generates new, promising bands, even faster than the country is going throughPrime Ministers.
Enter Bank Holiday, afire gunslingers with huge ambitions. Swagger, check.
Attitude, check. Tune check. Their debut single OUT OF THE BLUE is heading
like a comet towards 1 million streams on Spotify.
Why? It’s a guitar-blistering rock anthem, sparked with gung-ho vocals that make their already sizeable fanbase go mad for it. Sure, lots of work to do for the young Mancs to earn a place in the iconic city gallery, but they feel supersonic, and something is already happening. Don’t miss them.
NME says: “A career high. While other artists, they came up with, have
called it quits, the British indie band have kept moving forward. Their fifth
album rewards that resilience with some of their most beautiful work yet.”
TUTV: Bittersweet pop melancholia sugar-coats this new opus. It has a similar intimate
and treasuring life-and-love idealisation of Coldplay‘s 1998 debut Parachutes. Three-hanky sweet (a bit too much at times), but genuine and honest-to-goodness. Heart-and-soul stirring stories, familiar to some of us. Swim Deep
23-year-old Californian mega pop star OLIVIA RODRIGO who just released her 3rd LP, namedyou seem pretty sad for a girl so in love will organsise her own festival with
an all female big name line-up including Bikini Kill, Garbage, Mitski, Stevie Nicks, Karen O and many more.
The event, dubbed Daisy Chain Fields will be staged in Irvine, Chicago on August 29th.
Mysterious, experimental, Canadian post-punk duoANGINE DE POITRINE
(French for angina pectoris. A severe pain in the chest and left arm, caused by
heart disease) featuring (cuckoo aliases) Khn de Poitrine (guitar/bass) and Klek
de Poitrine (drums) became a sensation overnight with the release of their 2nd
jaw-dropping LP, Vol. II, last April (named by TUTV as one of the 5 best albums
of that month).
Suddenly, all their tour dates sold out in no time.
And everybody – press, social media, TV – wants
a piece of them.
Last weekend they went on British TV for the first time, on Later… With Jools Holland, and performed staggering versions of two of their quirky-freaky bass/drum mind-twisters.
Every day of this summer we go back to a same summer date in history
22 June 2026
The now 82-year-old Canadian folk grandmaster JONI MITCHELL released her
4th, best known and timeless opus BLUE on 22 June 1971, today 55 years ago.
#3 in the UK, #15 in the US, #9 in Canada.
Pitchfork wrote in retrospect: “Blue is like a companion to Bob Dylan’s
Blood On The Tracks, a confessional album very much of its time that endures
on the strength of fantastic melodies and musical simplicity.”
Another batch of 5 new, stellar tracks has
been added to Turn Up The Volume’s Jukebox.
Turn it up.
ALL TOGETHER
. TRACK BY TRACK
Band: ELEPHANT STONE Who: Acclaimed psych outfit fronted by Rishi Dhir, a songwriter and sitarist who
has spent twenty years blurring the lines between Western psych-pop and Indian
classical.
The 2nd preview, following Everything Evil from their
new LP, baptized Asha, out August 26th. More info here.
The song confronts the global rise of fascism with the unflinching authority of history.
The official video repurposes footage from One Got Fat, a 1963 public domain film
whose unsettling imagery of masked children proves a disturbingly fitting backdrop.
TUTV: This psychedelia-drenched, sitar-spicy groover, wouldn’t be out of place on Doomsday‘s soundtrack. The far-right rules again as it did in the last century’s 40s, but
the world survived, and as long as bands like this keep on challenging the fascists with fiery rockin’ and rollin’ force, I’m sure we’ll survive once again.
Artist: ATOM LUX Who: Solo project of Lucio Filizola, Italian multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter Lucio Filizola. After early experiences with piano and clarinet, Filizola discovered rock ’n’ roll and shifted toward guitar, beginning a long exploration through progressive, psychedelic and alternative rock territories.
TUTV: Imagine Deep Purple and Black Sabbath have some mindblowing loud fun together, then this psych-infused speedball could well be the outcome. Riff-raging razmataz all the way trough, electrified with spaced-out vocals. Check your speakers before you let them get attacked with this jumbo jackhammer.
Band: CHARMING ARSON Who: Boston-based alt-rock power-pop quartet that wants to excite your imagination and feed your mind. Soaring guitar licks and expressionist lyrics are the yin and yang in their songwriting alchemy. The song as story, the story as song.
David Cameron (lead vocals, rhythm guitar): “While this song clearly has themes
of desiring something utterly elusive, some of the lyrics are there simply because they’re
fun to sing. Meaning-wise, I’m not going to pretend it’s anything more than lyrical excess.”
TUTV: Trad Americana rock galvanism and orthodox 6-string riffs provoke stoked-up zeal and kick-ass perkiness that triggers air-guitar fun and head-spinning movements. It’s only rock and roll, but the walloping way it’s served here, we will like it forever.
The song is a harmony-drenched spiral through romance, denial and emotional
collapse. It’s the beginning of an upcoming, summer-long debut EP campaign.
TUTV: From the kick-off Aurelia take you on a high-speed, riff-reverberating trip
and satisfies your eardrums with vitalizing harmonies. Angelina is an overwhelming,
mixed-emotions, knockout that floors you after one spin. Overmastering score.
Artist: MÉLIA MARTIN Who: 19-year-old musician from Chelsea, Québec. She’s classically trained in flute .
She also plays multiple instruments and draws inspiration from a wide range of styles, from indie-folk to electronic music.
“We all know once doesn’t mean forever, but then why do the things that last the shortest often stay with us the longest? This song is a reminder that something doesn’t have to last forever to be worth living.”
TUTV: This light-hearted, life-embracing musing induces romantic daydreaming and
easy-going relaxation. Martin‘s sensuous vocals fit this summery tune perfectly well.
Endearing singer-songwriter quality for carefree moments.
