Last Friday, urban hip-crossover-pop duo NOVA TWINS their ignited 3rd LP
Parasites & Butterflies. Last June at Glastonbury Festival they premiered
the album’s 4th single, titled GLORY.
British indies PALE WAVES are making, eh, waves since 2014, mostly in their home country with darkwavish pop tunes. So far, they released 4 albums, with last year’s Smitten as the most recent.
Last weekend they took the stage at the Reading Leeds Festival. As many acts do at festivals, they also did a cover. Their version of The Cranberries‘s classic anthem Zombie (more than 1,5 billion streams on Spotify) is copied/pasted, but it works, so does the crowd think.

Since last year’s Cartoon Darkness, their 3th album, the out-of-their-heads
rocking Aussies AMYL AND SNIFFERS went on the road and they have clearly
no intention to go home yet.
Last weekend they steamed-up the crowd at Reading Leeds Festival.
Never a dull moment with roisterous front Amazone Amyl Taylor. FACT!

We the people fight for our existence
We don’t claim to be perfect but we’re free
We dream our dreams alone with no resistance
Fading like the stars we wish to be
You know I didn’t mean what I just said
But my God woke up on the wrong side of his bed
And it just don’t matter now
As little by little we gave you everything you ever dreamed of
Little by little the wheels of your life have slowly fallen off
Little by little you have to give it all in all your life
And all the time I just ask myself why you’re really here?
True perfection has to be imperfect
I know that that sounds foolish but it’s true
Day has come, now you’ll have to accept
Life inside your head we give to you
You know I didn’t mean what I just said
But my God woke up on the wrong side of his bed
And it just don’t matter now
As little by little we gave you everything you ever dreamed of
Little by little the wheels of your life have slowly fallen off
Little by little you have to give it all in all your life
And all the time I just ask myself why you’re really here?
As little by little we gave you everything you ever dreamed of
Little by little the wheels of your life have slowly fallen off
Little by little you have to give it all in all your life
And all the time I just ask myself why you’re really here?
Why am I really here?
Why am I really here?

Band: BLACKOUT PROBLEMS
Who: German act, making emo noizz rock since
2005. So far they fabricated 5 longplayers.
Track: MURDERER
With a title like that, problems
are definitely in the air.
SOULWAX, the brothers David and Stephen Dewaele‘ band for 30 years now,
is only one of the siblings’ diverse projects. They DJed the world around as
2manydjs, had their own Radio Soulwax, and produced/remixed countless
other artists.
They are quite active this summer playing multiple
festivals. Last June they did their techno thing at
Best Kept Secret – The Netherlands .
And a couple of weeks ago they announced birth details of their
6th LP. It’s baptized All Systems Are Lying and will see the day
of light on October 17th.

Last year Spanish power pop señoritas HINDS released
their jaunty 4th longplayer, called Viva Hinds.
It featured Turn Up The Volume‘s number 1 track
of 2024, the fab-tastic pop diamond SUPERSTAR.
Last Friday, the girls were in Belgium again (pictures below).
They played Lokerse Feesten – Belgium. And I had to
see them again. Always party time with the Madrid chicas.
