GETDOWN SERVICES – Whacky Disco-Rap-Punk Duo Premier Their 2nd LP On August 14th

Posted on by JL

23 July 2026

Band: GETDOWN SERVICES
Who: Wacky disco-rap-punk duo from Bristol, UK

Track: CAN’T DIE LIKE THAT
New single from their new, forthcoming 2nd LP, titled
Massive Champion. Out 14th August. Order info here.

Press info: “An odyssey of anarchic joy, seditious wit and boundless energy, the album finds Josh Law and Ben Sadler pushing deeper into the singular world they have been building for years, while opening up new emotional and lyrical ground. The record was written in green rooms, on long car journeys and in the gaps between relentless touring.

It stands as their boldest and most expansive statement to date, an ode to childhood, British cultural detritus and the absurd poetry of everyday life, distilling everything that has made Getdown Services one of the most exhilarating and unpredictable bands around. In the band’s words it is “about self pity and realising that maybe all of the healing your inner child stuff you hear about isn’t actually total bollocks. Musically and lyrically I think it’s about us trying to clean up our act a bit.”

The tandem gave us 3 previews, thus far. Three pelvis-shaking groovers.

LENNY KAYE – At 79 Longtime PATTI SMITH Guitarist Has His Mellow Solo Debut Album Out

Posted on by JL

21 July 2026


📸: @bob_gruen

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

Album: GOIN’ LOCAL
At 79, and after a zillion years in the music
business, Kaye released his solo debut LP.

Kaye: “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.”


📸: @bob_gruen

Mojo: “His unguarded tenderness can be disarmingly guileless,
an unexpected and welcome evolution from the godfather of
garage rock.”

TUTV: Well, you’re obviously never too old to put out your debut LP. Of course,
after half a decade playing in Patti Smith’s band, Kaye knows what is needed to
deliver appealing goods.

You would expect Kaye to come up with a bunch of full-on rockers, instead, except
for the wired-up title track and Solstice, he chooses mellow Americana romanticism,
and his warm voice fits the sweet-toned mood like a glove. Touchy-feely musings and dreamy ballads sign for a tenderhearted record.

Get in your laid-back rockin’ chair and let
yourself be entertained by Goin’ Local.

MANIC STREET PREACHERS – Welsh Heroes Released Single ‘EVERYTHING MUST GO’ Today 30 Years Ago

Posted on by JL

Top singles from the past

22 July 2026

Welsh heroes MANIC STREET PREACHERS released the title track of their
4th longplayer EVERYTHING MUST GO on 22 July 1996, today 30 years ago.

It was the first album without guitarist/lyricist Richey Edwards,
who disappeared mysteriously in February the year before.

The song is cited by bassist Nick Wire as a message to the fans, saying the music had changed after the loss of Richey, but the band is still the same. Ushering in a new era
for the band, Wire‘s lyric asks fans to forgive them for changing.

The song peaked at #5 in the UK.

“And I just hope that you can forgive us
But everything must go
And if you need an explanation
Then everything must go”

THE RATS – The Thunderous Belgian Punk Turbo Hit Their Hometown With Sweaty Sucker Punches

Posted on by JL

21 July 2026

Band: THE RATS
Who: 5-piece hit team
from Ghent, Belgium.

Last March, these combative dogs released
their razorblade-sharp debut LP Boxing Days.

TUTV said: “The rat race is on. Time to get up, stand up, and fight for your right to start
a moshpit whenever and wherever you are, alone or with like-minded fanatics the moment Boxing Days torpedoes your ears.”

Then they played several blistering gigs to share their firstborn with their manic fans.

Last night as part of their hometown’s yearly massive festivities, they went back to their early days, playing in a small bar. Needless to say, the place was packed. We got trapped like sardines, but enjoyed every single whirlwind second.

The Rats‘ unbridled intensity and revved-up energy have an earsplitting impact.
As usual, furious frontman Emile is the maddening force upfront. He spits, sneers
and barks like a tireless pitbull, and he sweats like a punk pig. His shirt got soaking
wet in no time.

Off-stage he’s as sweet as Dr. Jekyll, on a podium he turns into a badass Mr. Hyde
bastard. His inexhaustible vitality combined with the bulldozing artillery behind
him went through the low roof while a sauna temperature got us all heated up.

When the thunderous turbo closed their steaming set with red-hot live favorite Old Flames everybody on and off stage was out of breath. It was a triumphant hometown blast. Hands down. Many absentees will soon claim that they were there.
