overcoming troubles and tumultuous times”.

My get-up-and-go is long gone/ and the days keep dragging on/ But I’ve got
you, you, you,.”

Artist: BLONDSHELL
Who: American singer-songwriter
Sabrina Mae Teitelbaum

Track: HEART HAS TO WORK SO HARD
First single from her upcoming, 3rd LP.
Details TBA.

“This song is really about friendship and betrayal, getting stuck in a dynamic and letting things fester. It’s about pain and confusion — no one trains you for the ups and downs of a friendship between two women — but it’s also about a love so enduring that you find compassion no matter what.”

TUTV: Another blondshell bombshell.

from Dublin, Ireland.

Track: NOBODY’S COMING TO SAVE YOU
Title song from their upcoming, 2nd LP.

“It’s a song that feels hopeless on its first listen, but if you look at it more deeply it’s a call to action, no one is going to rise up if everyone expects someone else to do it. We all have to do our part in creating the change.”

TUTV: Bedazzling post-punk corker. Infectiously nerve-racking.
These Irishmen continue their indie-supertop quest. You bet.

Hello, music junkies.

Another batch of 5 new, stellar tracks have
been added to Turn Up The Volume’s Jukebox.

Turn it up.

ALL TOGETHER

.
TRACK BY TRACK

Band: BODEGA
Who: Zesty indie-dance
rock team from NYC.

Track: PICK UP THE CHECK
New single from their forthcoming,
5th album. Details TBA.

Ben Hozie (frontman): “I know too many friends who tolerate unfulfilling
relationships out of politeness or fear of letting others down. You don’t have
to. Strike the set, rewrite the draft, and pick up the (metaphorical) check.”

TUTV: Less groovy and dancey than their previous work,
as guitars dominate more and the song’s rockin’ pepper.

Welcome back.

Spotify
—————————————————————————————————————————–

Band: CROSS WIRES
Who: Vehement post-punk
4-piece from Romford, UK.

Track: ECHO FOREVER
New cut from their upcoming third album, called
‘Under The Watchful Eye of Another Man’s God’.

TUTV: Funky guitar lines, Numanesque synths, ceaseless drumming, Jah-wobbling bass brio, and high-strung vocals come organically together for a gloomy post-punk outpouring.

Arresting.

Artist: KAT FIVE
Who: EBM songstress from London. She fuses together a raw
punk energy with a dark pop magic, she consistently creates
indefinable, politically-engaged glitched-up anthems.

Track: EMERGENCY START
New single.

Inspired by the Hard Art Collective (a cultural collective standing in solidarity
in the face of climate and democratic collapse) led by ambient master Brian Eno
the song offers a beat-fuelled call to action to a world that desperately needs
a shakeup.

FIVE: “Culture is a mighty way to inspire and unite people, and we need it more
than ever to help combat the horrors of the current world, and build new alternatives.
This is a call out to all kinds of creators, and also a shout out for some simple moves
you can make against techno-feudalism.”

TUTV: Kat Five offers a both luring and foreboding-sounding EBM tune for
shadow-dancing fans. Despite the hazardous times worldwide, she suggests,
rightly so, that togetherness is the only way to get out of the intolerant chaos
we have to go through right now.

Action!

Band: Nemøde
Who: Hybrid – drummer Nina and guitarist
Furyo – duo from BX, blending metal with
hyperpop & electro influences

Track: TRAGIC
Single from their brand new smoking-hot
6-track EP, named Tragic PINK.

TUTV: Nemøde operate in a space where London‘s cyber-punk duo Wargasm
and the combative British metalcore heroes Bring The Horizon have their niche.

Well, that’s what my bombarded ears tell me. The interwoven Nina and Furo
vocals inject Tragic with a transfixing urgence, culminating in an evaporative
chorus.

Striking stroke.

Linktree – Spotify
—————————————————————————————————————————–

Band: FAT DOG
Who: disco punk squad from South-London who
woke up the dead with their debut LP WOOF.

Track: FUCK URSELF
New single.

TUTV: Simple and sugary electro-pop joy with 80s vibrations and the bucked-up,
scream-along, go fuck urself chorus that will be heard all over the summer at festivals.
I bet that the title was consciously chosen for those moments.

Altogether now.

the Artemis II crew recently.

Band: MOONRIIVR
Who: Seasoned rock tandem
from Toronto, Canada.

Track: FORCE OF HABIT
Piece from their new album
Moonriivr Vol. 2, out
later in the year.

“A song about letting go of the past and searching for a new way forward.”

TUTV: Oh yeah! Brace yourself for some movin’ and groovin’ electricity.
Force Of Habit is a riff- ripsnorter with retro-rock reverberations and
eagerly echoing vocals. Back to the future.

Inspiring and enlivening.

—————————————————————————————————————————–

Artists: RADARBASE
Who: Two Brits knocking
dance anthems together.

Track: SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL

TUTV: Soft Cell on adrenaline. Erasure on amphetamine. Enriching electro pop nirvana
at its most beautiful. Ignore the outside bedlam for about 6 minutes on repeat. The beat goes on and on and on. Twirl yourself dizzy.

Get up and boogie.

Instagram – Linktree
—————————————————————————————————————————–

Band: CRISPY DANGER
Who: A fresh, red-hot act fronted by siblings, residing in Melbounre (Australia).
Formed last year, the trio’s soul comes from a heavy metal heritage, yet their music combines riff-driven rock with catchy pop sensibilities and hard-hitting lyrics, carving
out a genre unique to themselves.

Track: OUTTA CONTROL
Their debut single.

Artwork by Australian artist Franko

TUTV: Outta Control is a bad-ass and bass-tastic sledgehammer with all amps up,
decibels up, and uproar up. Agitated vocals, combative drumming, a Slash guitar
solo, and a mammoth chorus mingle into a bashing debut burst.

Instagram – Spotify
—————————————————————————————————————————–

Band: WAVES CRASHING
Who: Alt-rock outfit from
Olympia, Washington.

Track: MARINE GARDEN
New single from their upcoming sophomore full-length,
named In The Blur. Out May 20th. Tracklist and order info here.

Lyrically, it’s a meditation on presence and release, tracing the sensation
of shedding mental weight against a backdrop of ocean air and open sky.

TUTV: At the core Marine Garden is a well-pitched lullaby, warmed by The Cure-esque
guitar glow, a firm beat, and longing vocals. An ear-pleasing musing that triggers melancholic reflections.

Magnetic sensitiveness.

.
Instagram – Spotify
—————————————————————————————————————————–

Band: THE SUNCHARMS
Who: Indie/shoegaze
act from Sheffield, UK.

Track: ANNABEL LEE
Cut from their new album
Darkening Sky. Stream it here.

TUTV: It’s a mid-tempo, 60s psychedelia-echoing, guitar-layered tune, juiced
with good old-fashioned Hammond organ-like warmheartedness and dreamy
vocals.

Relaxing vibes.

been added to Turn Up The Volume’s Jukebox.

Listen up.

ALL TOGETHER

.
TRACK BY TRACK

Band: CYPRESS HILL
Who: The weed-fueled hip-rap-hoppers
from South Gate, California.

Track: CAMPEONES

New piece from their upcoming 11th LP. A project performed entirely
in Spanish that aims to highlight their Latin roots and reconnect directly
with their cultural heritage. Tracklist & release date TBA.

It features fellow rapper Mellow Mace Ace.

TUTV: Vamos, rapeemos. Cypress Hill let pelvis move from left to right and
back to the accordion’s ambiance. Sickly sticking melodia. Fix yourself a
cocktail and sway your body to the party beats.

Instagram – Linktree
—————————————————————————————————————————–

Band: FACS
Who: Chicago-based art rock/post-punk trio
formed in 2017. So far, they have released
5 full-lengths.

Track: PARALLEL LIVES
The band will be on tour in Australia
with Chimers, and to commemorate,
they’ve bagged a split 7″.

TUTV: The electrically-rampant debates open with out-of-tune guitars, progress lazily,
and freak out from the 3-minute mark. Kafkaesque unbridledness for chaotic minds.

Instagram – Linktree
—————————————————————————————————————————–

Band: BUTTHOLE SURFERS
Who: The Texan post-rock-punk veterans who
came together in 1981 and unleashed 8 albums
to this day.

Track: IMBUYA
Title cut from their brand new 4-track EP (2 studio, 2 live tracks).
Stream here.

TUTV: This messy, speed-up psych jam with neurotic drum ‘n’ bass percussion
in the back is a flipped-out stunner. The surfers age backwards. Whoopee-doo.

Instagram – Spotify
—————————————————————————————————————————–

Artist: SUKI WATERHOUSE
Who: Songstress, actress
and model from London.

Track: TINY RAISIN
New single from her forthcoming 3rd album, called
Loveland. It comes our way on July 10th.

Waterhouse: “A love song at its core. It’s a song that stands by the fact that real love in its truest essence can be chaotic, ridiculous, and imperfect, while still being something that is absolutely worth choosing over and over again at the end of the day.”

TUTV: Power pop glamour with witty lyrics and fabulous vocals. Dumpfounding class.

Instagram – Spotify
—————————————————————————————————————————–

Artist: MARTIN CARR
Who: Former guitarist of Britpop
idols The Boo Radleys.

Track: WHAT FUTURE
The title song of his
upcoming album, out
this Friday, May 1st.

Carr: “I’ve been putting together these sounds for many years but this
is the first time where I thought ‘this doesn’t really sound like anything else
and decided to put it out.”

TUTV: Techno daft-punk on the run. Electro rock shock. Winding mix of paranoic synths, bass booms, and some helium-infused Carr interventions. Good grief. What a brainfucker.

from Monmouth, South Wales.

Track: THE STANDARD MODEL
One of two new pieces, along with I Watched You As Your Mind
Slipped Far Away (Away From Me). Available both on 7″ vinyl
from May 1st on.

“The Standard Model’ has been with us since the birth of our band. Although it hits
hard, it’s our least serious, most purely fun and ecstatic song. We built it by stitching
two catchy riffs together”

TUTV: Blimey. Guerilla guitars explode in your face from the kick-off, followed
by a turbulent, gassed-up race, dynamized with urgent vocals. These jittery
juveniles are going places.

Keep your ears and eyes peeled.

Band: TOOTH
Who: New indie guitar rock sensation from England.

NME says: “The London four-piece have asserted themselves as
a guitar-wielding voice for a new generation with their angsty and
introspective sound.”

Track: RESTLESS IN BLOOM
Title song of their upcoming
debut EP, out in June.

TUTV: Shoegazy guitar layers, a restless rhythm section, and ardent
vocals dominate this swivel-eyed stunner until it transitions into an
unexpected, calming finale.

Up and down we go.

with all-out zeal and piercing avidness.

Happy anniversary, guys.

Who: Best known as the longtime guitarist, for
more than 50 years, of Patti Smith‘s band.

Track: GOIN’ LOCAL
At 79, and after a zillion years in the music business, Kaye will release
his solo debut album. It’ll land on July 17th. Tracklist and info here.

“I feel like I’m a new artist. I think this album will surprise those
who think they know me from what I’ve done previously.”

TUTV: Well, you’re obviously never too old to put out your debut LP.
Of course, after half a decade of electrifying Patti Smith’s backing band,
Kaye knows all the tricks to deliver some good old rock ‘n’ roll buzz.

Because the night belongs to Kaye.

1990–1995, 1997–1999, 2012–present.

Along with Regenerate, two hefty previews from their upcoming new
album, 5th full-length and first in 5 years, Bring On the Psychics. It’ll hit the
streets on July 17th. More info here

TUTV: I wonder where vet bands like this still get their red-hot-blooded
appetite for titanic tunes from? Quicksand are back on fire, folks. Fervent fire.

Bingo!

Bitchy, punky and witty.

Slay it.

—————————————————————————————————————————–

Band: LUCY’S HOUSE
Who: Indie duo from Australia.

Track: JUNCTION BEARING

Carried by introspective lyrics, the song navigates the disorientation
of trying to hold something together that’s already slipping away.

TUTV: This bass tanked-up groove gets under your skin without asking. There’s a kind
of imminent tension up in the air thoughout this hypnotic ride and when anxious guitars take over somewhere in the middle, it’s amps and heat up. This mind-boggling slice of psychedelic fever will bend your head for some time.

Press play.

Artist: GRAHAM COXON
Who: Blur‘s guitarist/co-songwriter who also has 8 solo LPs, and

that will finally gets its release, this summer, on June 19th.

A-OK.

Who: 3 rowdy juveniles
from Montreal, CA.

Track: THE IDIOTS HAVE TAKEN OVER
New piece from their upcoming debut LP, titled Can’t Please Em All .
Out May 8th. Tracklist and order-info here.

TUTV: Sounds like if Green Day are playing Dead Kennedys killers. Full steam ahead.
Fast and furious. I’m pretty sure these there fired-up teens stole half of their parents record collection and got inspired to; dive head first, into the chaotic times we live in
and go after the empty-headed idiots who rule the planet. That’s punk for you, folks.

No BS, honest and direct.

Artist: DEVLIN & THE HARM
Who: The new musical project of American
singer-sonwgriter Devlin McCluskey,

Track: KINGDOM COMES
2 shared piece of his ucpoming self-titled debut
album, out on May 22nd. Tracklist and info here.

Album artwork

“I hate to admit it but this song was a turning point for me. My last band faded away, I’d lost touch with my friends, we were in this new dark era of American Society, and I just felt like if I didn’t squeeze with all my might I’d float off into the abyss. I wasn’t looking to start a band, but ‘Kingdom Comes’ became a guiding light for the kind of music I wanted to make.”

TUTV: From a heart-rending Matt Berninger-like start to electrifyng blues-weeping guitars. From intimate reflection to soul-stirring excorcism. Visceral passion in magnetic (e)motion.

Striking stroke.
