Trip-hop luminary TRICKY (born Adrian Nicholas Matthews Thaws in Bristol, UK, 58 years ago) released his supreme 15th full-length Different When It’s Silent 3 weeks ago.

TUTV said: The longtime trip-hop master didn’t/doesn’t change his sonic palette for
the past few years/albums. Not necessary whatsoever to my satisfied ears. His
tense and tenebrific trademark synth-grooves, mostly mid-tempo, still have a transfixing and
chilling effect.

And as ever, a vocal partner (in the early years Martina Topley-Bird, then Marta Zlakowska and Francesca Belmonte as the most notable) is an instrumental part
of Tricky‘s overall bewildering sound.

This time it’s young, riveting Bristol voice Mitch Sanders who co-stars for the greater
part with Tricky‘s whispering vocals in the back, engendering the familiar, spookish twilight atmosphere. Again Tricky makes you feel comfortable in his cliffhanging cosmic space.”

The Black METALLICA Album Was Released Today 35 Years Ago

Posted on by JL

Significant longplayers from yesteryear

12 August 2026


Rolling Stone – August 1991

Metal giants METALLICA released their hugely successful, critically and
sales-wise, self-titled album, known as The Black Album, on 12 August 1991,
today 35 years ago. It was their 5th one.

It debuted at number one in ten countries and spent four consecutive weeks at
the top of the Billboard 200, making it Metallica‘s first album to top the album charts.
With over 30 million copies sold worldwide, the record is one of the best-selling
longplayerts worldwide.

The LP was a change in Metallica‘s direction from the thrash metal style of the band’s previous four studio albums towards a more commercial, heavy metal sound. Despite
this, it still had characteristics of thrash metal.

Title: The group had many discussions about the album title. The original working title
was Married to Metal as a result of Hammett, Ulrich and Newsted‘s divorces, but was downplayed as a running joke, according to Ulrich. Other names considered were Five and the title of one of the songs, but eventually chose an eponym because they “wanted to keep it simple.”

Artwork: The album’s cover depicts the band’s logo angled against the upper left corner and a coiled snake derived from the Gadsden flag in the bottom right corner. For the initial release, both emblems were embossed so they could barely be seen against the black background, leading to the LP’s nickname The Black Album.

Rolling Stone said: “Several songs sound like hard-rock
classics. Metallica is an exemplary album of mature but
still kickass rock & roll”.

THE LIGHT SHOW – British Guitar Rock Indies Riff Hard On New Steamrolling Single ‘CODENAME E.M.M.A.’

Posted on by JL

Daily electricity to load your batteries

10 August 2026

Band: THE LIGHT SHOW
Who: High-voltage four-piece indie-punk band from Yorkshire,
combining driving guitar riffs, infectious hooks, and an explosive
live presence.

Track: CODENAME E.M.M.A.

“The song is about trying to escape from a chaotic relationship after it ends. The frenetic and brash nature of the tune comes from the frenetic nature of the relationship and of the brash and chaotic attitude of the title character.  We wanted the music and lyrics to come together and create a mood for the song that matches the subject.

TUTV: Riff-roasting guitar indie rock at its cutting best. The Light Show don’t waste time, they dive into this sassy steamroller from the get-go with tons of knife-edged zip. Punk legends Ramones could turn you upside down with under 2-minute punches. That seems these British hound dogs’ mission too. And they succeed with all amps up and all cylinders on. Expect high-voltage electricity.

Have a go.
Here.
Now.

THE MARY WALLOPERS – Irish Folk Team Release Their 3rd LP ‘PADDYWACKERY’ On September 18th

Posted on by JL

11 August 2026


Photo credit: The Mary Wallopers

Band: THE MARY WALLOPERS
Who: Irish folk team based in Dundalk, County Louth. They’re well known for their opposition to far-right and anti-immigration politics, and their support for the liberation of Palestine.

Album: PADDYWHACKERY.
Their 3rd longplayer. Out on September 18th.
More info here.

Press info: “Paddywhackery finds them leaping forwards to create an album that sounds like it’s been made by a band with a tightness and a power that’s unparalleled in music right now.

Recorded in an intense two-week period in Liverpool with The Coral‘s frontman James Skelly and engineer Chris Taylor, Paddywhackery lets the band’s grand wildness shine through and allows their songs to flow out of the speakers with the kind of verve and potency that will make you – the listener – press play again, and again, and again.”

TMW: “It’s mainly about the fact that people would call us “paddywhackery” because we are
too Irish or whatever, but it’s all very fucking hip to be Irish the last couple of years, and maybe that’s performative too, it’s very sincere. If all you do is serious songs, it sterilises everything.

It becomes like there’s only one human emotion and its seriousness. People are terrified of being laughed at. If people are going to call us paddywhackery anyway, we might as well just call the album Paddywhackery. So its more of a “fuck you” than anything else. We want to spread like a virus and destroy anyone who thinks they are above The Mary Wallopers.”

Thus far, 3 singles to jump and bounce yourself nuts to.
