Simon Neil (guitarist/vocalist) about the album: “It’s an exploration of ideas, objects
or relationships that exist across time – we are never aware when we do anything for
the last time and there’s a beauty and sadness within that. What will be your Futique?”
On Hunting Season, the sassy Scots do what they love to do. They challenge
the potency of wall-breaking ballyhoo, while rockin’ their butt off. Bang-on,
motherrockers.
In order to not miss a beat TURN UP THE VOLUME scans the musical

ALL TOGETHER
The 5 fresh ones TRACK BY TRACK
Band: LADY JESUS Who: Hard soul & psychedelic
rock ‘n’ rollers from Scotland.
TUTV: This burning funky-punky soul-burst is revved-up with ardent passion, electrical energy, warm-blooded vocals and sultry sax. Shake your booty and scream your lungs out when the clamoring chorus pops up. Sly Stone would have said there’s a riot going on. And it is. Spread the gospel, people.
“The song is essentially about people only wanting the sweet stuff in life, and sugar coating anything and everything that may be a difficult subject. We live in a society where social media is treated like the Holy Bible, simultaneously releasing dopamine hits, a highly addictive drug, when posting pictures for ‘instant gratification.
“It seems there’s a lot of wrong in the world right now, but let’s all turn a blind eye and keep posting our best lives, sugarcoating the stark contrast of the disarray. But in reality, you can hear the ‘sirens of hate before the day is dawning’ waking you as it simmers through the cracks of your windows in the morning.”
TUTV: This happens when The Ultra Violets eat too much sugar. They pick up their instruments and go mental, producing mental hullabaloo for mental people, like you and me. Sweet, right? You betcha.
Info: It’s a powerful reflection on friendship, vulnerability, and emotional honesty. Blending spoken word with heartfelt songwriting, the track captures the rawness
of navigating life’s challenges and the strength that comes from speaking openly
and staying true to your emotions. It’s a poignant reminder of the healing power of
community and connection.
TUTV: This jangly riff-ripper sticks after one spin. It combines poised
swagger and electric-powered puissance. A heartwarming trigger to
make your day.
