Band: GUSH
Who: Fiery Belfast indies, who dropped their
ear-piercing 5-track debut EP Exposure Therapy
in 2024.

Track: TOLD U SO
Brand new single.

Chelsea (frontwoman): “‘Told U So really brings into focus what we’re all about
sonically, as a band and as musicians. The lyrics are a conversation between my own
self-loathing internal monologue and the more rational side of my mind, which is a pretty relentless ordeal.’

TUTV: Gush hit it out of the park again with this jet jackhammer. After a sparkly
Strokes-esque guitar intro, it’s all hands on deck when the thumping chorus blows
the Richter scale to pieces with wanton willpower. The band’s guitar/bass/drum artillery strikes again, yet fervent frontwoman Chelsea’s vocals somehow cut through the voltaic bedlam.

She’s a fan of legendary voices Shirley Manson and Chrissie Hynde. She told us so. But here it sounds more like Chelsea lets PJ Harvey – another authentic rock heroine – take charge and inject this belter with resolute poignancy.

“Never wanna know
How the story goes
Don’t show your face around here again
By the way it shows
The way your feelings grow
You gotta earn your place around here my friend
You don’t have to look it in the eye
If you don’t chase it it’ll disappear
Never wanna know
Cause I told you so”

Londoners LEG PUPPY 2.0 And FIRTHYHURTZ Do It Together On Hip-Bass-Hop Groove ‘SUHSHI TIME’

Posted on by JL

Daily electricity to charge your batteries

5 November 2026

Boomtastic techno act LEG PUPPY 2.0 and bass pressures
FirtyHurtz are doing some pelvis-wobbling stuff together
lately.

SUSHI TIME is the raving result of their newest collab.

The track is inspired by The Daily Adventures Of Mixerman. According to
the Londoners one of the funniest books ever written about the music industry.
A glorious tale of incompetence, huge egos and all the bullshit that goes on
behind the scenes. Sounds more like a book on the Tories to me.

Move and groove, people.
Here’s some hip-hop-bass
to get you going from left
to right, forth and back.

Alright, now that our muscles are awake
let’s continue the party with these guys’
full EP.

WHOLES – Vicious Belgian Tornado Turbo Turns Grim On New Hellraiser ‘FOUL TASTE’

Posted on by JL

Daily electricity to charge your batteries

3 November 2026


Photo: Laurens Wille

Band: WHOLES
Who: Vicious Belgian noise turbine led by musical centipede
Wolf Vanwymeersch, who played with several bands before
producing pop, rock, post-punk and sludge metal.

They released their pitch-black debut
full-length A Mass In the Water last year.

Track: FOUL TASTE

A dirty motherrocker that follows Berlin, Eazy For You & The Moment.
All songs (one more new one to come, making it a total of 5) will be part
of the band’s new album WHOLES/NOTWHOLES, available on vinyl and
digitally on 18 December. Pre-order the LP here.


Album artwork by Lennart Van Den Bossche, cover screenprinted by El Foxie

It’ll be a pretty special edition. On the A-side, the 5 original Wholes versions.
On the B-side 5 covers, delivered by Belgian misfits shitfruit, Huracàn,
Nimbus Cart, Joeri Clipfingers and Usi Es

Vanwymeersh about Foul Taste: “Sometimes you only know what a song is about when it’s finished and your life has already taken a new direction. “Foul Taste” came about exactly like that: the bitter taste that marks the beginning of the end of a relationship. Beyond heartbreak, it’s about recognizing decay while you are still in the midst of it.

Musically, the track reflects the emotional breakup. The vocals oscillate between almost
spoken aggression and fragmented melody, driven by frantic rhythms and dissonant
textures.”

TUTV: Something truly grim, very vicious, very diabolic is happening here.
Foul Taste is an intimidating ear-assault, a rock-like headbutt. Wholes get nastier,
louder, and meaner with every release. Illegal decibels, caused by schizophrenic
guitars, lethal drum/bass flurries, and knife-between-the-teeth vocals, drill
(w)holes in the ceiling.

This harsh hellraiser has nuclear power.

Run to the hills.

Helter skelter.

ENTER SHIKARI – Tense British Rock Squad Twist And Turn On New Juggernaut ‘LIGHTYEARS’

Posted on by JL

Daily electricity to charge your batteries

29 October 2026

Band: ENTER SHIKARI
Who: British electro-punk-hardcore squad
from St Albans, Hertfordshire. They cause furor
since 1999

Track: LIGHTYEARS
2nd new piece in 3 weeks, following Higher Ground.
No sign, so far, of a new album (would be their 9th).

Frontman Rou Reynolds, who has struggled with physical and mental health
recently reflects in this new song on the people who are no longer there, the
places that have since disappeared, and the younger version of himself, to
whom he later wished he had still wanted to tell so much.

TUTV: How to describe a juggenraut that jumps from hard-hitting disco turmoil
to titanic rock and back? No idea, the thing is that Enter Shikari gets under your skin
with a head-twisting roller coaster, spiked with Reynolds‘s white-hot vocal chords.
Be ready to be pushed forth and back in the moshpit. The heat is on, people.

Band: CMON CMON
Who: Brussels/London based indie rock trio,
who started to realize their childhood dream
in their 40s.

Two years ago they released their acclaimed debut album
The Crack And The Light. Last year they followed it up with
the 5-track EP Headwind

Track: NEW ENGLAND IN FALL
Once again, the band teamed up
with British producer James Brown.

More singles in the coming months.

TUTV: The sonic playground of Cmon Cmon sits around the harmonious resonance
of Teenage Fanclub, the relaxing slacker feel of J Mascis, and the melancholic vocal vibe
of Band Of Horses.

New England In The Fall displays the band’s knack for feel-good and laid-back guitar-juiced
gems, sonically that is, once again, even when the song deals with the harsh reality of emotional heaviness, there’s a sense of redemption.

For Americans, autumn in New England, the region consisting of six States, is one of the most impressive places in the US, with its sepia-colored and picturesque beauty. For CC
it’s clearly a direct inspiration for this new, mixed feelings, musing. Enchanting.

Sacramento, running amok since 2015.

A working-class revolt against a system that expects people to live on scraps,

moves between the personal and political while refusing to settle into any one
sound.


The striking new album artwork – Painting by Angelica Asadi

TUTV: Destroy Boys fume throughout this spanking stroke. All guitar burners and drum/bass cylinders go full blast, while frontwoman Alexia Roditis goes hysterical
up-front. No rest for the rich. Power to the people. Power to DB.

RAWLS ROYCE – Punching Canadian Punks Nail It With New Alarming Haymaker ‘WOE, TORONTO’

Posted on by JL

Daily electricity to load your batteries

26 October 2026

Band: RAWLS ROYCE
Who: Punching punks from Toronto who fuse melodic hooks,
anthemic choruses, and beer-soaked gang vocals with political
subject matter.

Track: WOE, TORONTO
New single.

“This is a song about the many struggles of living in Toronto, told through the lens
of the malaise of the Great Depression era. Not unlike today, the 1930s were a period of widespread disillusionment with the political, social and economic conditions of the city.

The protagonist dreams of running away to Spain to fight fascism in the Spanish Civil War. However, the Mackenzie-King government passed the Foreign Enlistment Act in 1937 making
it illegal to do so.”

TUTV: These Canadians point out, rightly so, that the traumatic shock of the great American depression of the 30s, which led to a global economic drama, seems to be
back today to haunt humankind once again. History repeats itself, not always for the
good, as we know.

They wrote a harsh haymaker, as powerful
as a Rolls Royce, about their impressions.

Roasting riffs fly around, bass and drum work tightly together to pump
up the pressure, exuberant vocals add oil to the fire and the clamorous
chorus doubles your bloodstream’s pace. Imagine Green Day and Blink-182
running amok together.

Enough detonative racket to awake the neighborhood, so you’d better
go to your basement and listen to this detonative racket in there, to avoid
problems with the police.

FELIX HILL – Hopped Up British DIY Rocker Invites You To Go Ballastic To His Boiling Banger ‘CIRCUMSTANCE’

23 October 2026

Artist: FELIX HILL
Who: Elated English singer-songwriter.

Pick: CIRCUMSTANCE
His brand new single.

The song finds Hill taking stock of a moment when excitement and apprehension
collide, the point of impact as two people find each other. However, with the thrill
of the new comes the weight of the unknown.

The single cautions against falling into the into the trap of worrying about the
future and diluting the joy and sense of possibility that exists in a fleeting
moment.


Single artwork

Hill: “‘Circumstance’ was written after I went to Leeds Festival. I wanted to bottle
up the energy and excitement of the festival and create a real sing-along chorus
that you could imagine being belted out in the fields. The build-up and release of
the guitar solo was made for people to jump around to.”

TUTV: Hill expresses his euphoric post-festival experience with this superb
jangly steamroller. As a festival junkie myself, I feel the adrenaline rushing through
my shaking body. Circumstance incites all of your senses and all of your limbs.

He adds avid vocals to the mix and fuels the fire with a jumping for joy chorus and
a sped-up, over-the-top Slash guitar solo. Fireworks all around with this boiling banger. Don’t miss the fervid fun, people.

Use your couch as a trampoline.

drum beats, echoing vocals, and pa-pa-pa harmonies on the chirpy chorus.

Sickly sticky tune.

Let’s roll.
