Hip-rap-hop zealots Beastie Boys entered the scene with their
soon-to-be 40-year-old (15 Nov 1986) debut LP Licensed To III
featuring their pyrotechnic chant Fight For Your Right.
In 2012, the band abruptly finished their journey following
the untimely death of co-vocalist and bassist Adam MCA Yauch
due to cancer.

Now 14 years later, as previously reported, co-vocalist/songwriter
MIKE D (né Michael Louis Diamond, 60 years ago in NYC) returns solo.
He’ll share his debut LP THANK YOU on August 28th. More details here.
Album artwork
Mike D: “It’s been so much fun making this music with people I love and I have grown to
really appreciate in our collaboration. And I just hope it’s fun for others and not overly serious, because let’s be real, I’m releasing this music into a very strange and dark and power-fixated world that really devalues art and feelings and compassion and empathy and equality.”
“We so much loved all three of us being in a band with each other for Beastie Boys. When Yauch died, it was an extremely sad time for me so making music was just not on the table. Then being a dad was something I put myself into and eventually I worked on the ‘Beastie Boys Book’ with Adam (‘Ad-Rock’ Horovitz] and that really helped both of us as we were really able to shine a light on our past together.”
Let’s hip and hop to the 4 singles (thus far).

NYC’s post-punk celebs INTERPOL aren’t the most productive band on
this planet. In their almost 30-year career, they released only 7 albums…
thus far.
But that’s gonna change. They just announced details of full-length number 8.
It’s titled THE MIRRORS WEIGHS A TON and will come our way on August 28th.
Tracklist and pre-order info here.
Along with the news, they offer two previews.
– THIS MIRROR WEIGHS A TON –
Slow-burning torch.
– SEE OUT LOUD –
Whisking Interpol voltage as we know it.

Oklahoma‘s rock champs, THE ALL-AMERICAN REJECTS, haven’t been
really quite active during their 27-year career. So far, only 5 full-lengths,
new one included.
The new one is titled SANDBOX. It’ll be launched
on May 15th. Tracklist & pre-order info here.
Tyson Ritter (frontman) told NYC’s magazine Paper: “This album has taken
a lot of fireside chats, and a lot of mending fences. I think I said in an interview
before. People don’t really want a new All-American Rejects record.
People want their time capsule and want to jump into it and feel like they smell
CK One and it makes them feel young. But the question I pose is, ‘What if we can
say something now? What if we can actually resonate?’”
TUTV: The band have already previewed 6 out of the 12 LP’s tracks.
Six fucktastic rockers, definitely harbingers for a prodigious album.
And when, unexpectedly, the other 6 pieces would be stinkers, we’ll
still have a half-whopping record I’ll play until my ears bleed.

Band: THE BUG CLUB
Who: Welsh garage rock outfit launched in 2016 by brothers
Sam and Ross Willmett and Tilly Harris and now reduced to
the duo of Sam and Tilly.
New Album: EVERY SINGLE MUSCLE
Their 5th. Out on May 29th.
Tracklist & order info here.
Cuckoo artwork
Press info: “This record’s an exercise in efficient maximalism – the musical equivalent
of your dad packing the car for a holiday. Bring what you like; space is tight but they’ll
get it in there somehow. The Bug Club seem almost suspicious of the concept of being
a person – as if they’ve woken up in a costume they didn’t want to put on and cannot
take off.
Is three the magic number? Probably not. But Every Single Muscle – Sub Pop album number three for band, comes close enough to convince your average strange human person that it might be.”
Get into the two, so far shared,
punked-up sucker-punchers,
right here.

After Danish glam indies ICEAGE released their superb 5th album, titled Seek Shelter frontman Elias Bender Rønnenfelt wanted a hiatus for the band so he could do his own stuff, writing poetry and recording/releasing 2 solo LPs, Heavy Glory (2024) and Speak Daggers (2025).
Now it’s Iceage time again.
They bagged their 6th LP, baptized it FOR LOVE OF GRACE & THE HEREAFTER and
they will share it with the world on May 29th. Tracklist and pre-order info here.
Album artwork
Press info: “Across the sprawling, twelve song arc of the album, a universe of love variously expands and contracts in an eternal tango, Elias Rønnenfelt’s lyrics burn with apocalyptic intimacy while the band masterfully maneuvers within their shape-shifting scenery of feral post-punk.”
Two previews, so far.

The now 48-year-old electric folk star KURT VILE was born in Lansdowne, Pennsylvania,
and lives now in Philly. He’s so happy about his state that he named his upcoming new,
10th LP Philadelphia’s Been Good To Me. It’ll appear on May 29th.
Lead single CHANCE TO BLEED is Vile, alright. Lazy, feel-good, and sparkling guitar play.

Band: MODERN WOMAN
Who: London-based art-rock outfit fronted
by singer-songwriter-guitarist Sophie Harris.
Debut Album: JOHNNY’S DREAMWORLD.
It’ll show up on May 1st.
Album artwork
Press info: ‘Johnny’s Dreamworld’ represents the culmination of Modern Woman’s journey from Sophie Harris’s early, intimate songwriting project into a full-bodied band capable of folding post-punk, avant-garde, and folk traditions into a live force of dynamic originality.
At its heart, the record explores the strange poetry buried within the ordinary. Harris’s lyrics, steeped in literary detail and filmic atmosphere, draw from a fascination with the dark underbelly of the everyday and the contradictions of womanhood.”
TUTV already had the opportunity to hear the LP. It’s gonna cause a storm on
the indie scene. Believe me, you don’t want to miss the dreamworld of Johnny.
Check the 3 shared singles (so far), and decide for yourselves.

It’s Courtney allright.
Her lazy slacker groove is
immediately recognizable.
