“For The Lovers is homage to being reunited with loved ones and written with reference to the fact that no matter your culture, your religion or when you are alive, those of us lucky enough to have a loving family will always crave being able to break bread with our lovers and mother.
Expect melodic power-pop euphoria, swinging forth and back, infused with fervid vocals, layers of scintillating guitars and a steadfast drum beat, and peaking every time the starry-eyed chorus comes on. Top-shelf tune.
In order to not miss a beat Turn Up The Volume scans the musical
horizon daily (doing it for years now, actually) to stay in touch with
all new things sonically great and shares the results on a weekly
basis.

. TRACK BY TRACK
1. ‘Allergic Food’ by MELVINS (Montesano, Washington)
The veteran noiseniks are still hungry. On April 19 the band
unleash their 27th album, titled TARANTULA HEART.
Allergic For Food is vintage rowdy punk-rock Melvins
Post-punk indies based in Leeds, where they are active movers in the DIY scene that currently thrives in the North of England. They recorded a Marc Riley session in 2016, released their first album Mind Yr Manners in 2017.
‘You’re Just Jealous’ is the splendid title track from their
upcoming, 2nd album. Out on May 10. Pre-order info here.
5. ‘Gone Forever by GREAT HARE (Gothenburg, Sweden)
Swedish pop songsmiths describe themselves as “dreaming to stay awake.”
This new single is a sparkling mid-tempo guitar-driven meditation
with a psych resonance.
The psych rockers from down under launch their 10th LP, baptized Stung! on 21 June.
About new single (I’m Strung): “It’s about being totally pathetically stung by someone
and just having to be cool with it being unrequited. Being resilient, accepting that you
are a bit of a goose, but life goes on.”
“A new chapter in the personal journey of singer Cecilia Miradoli and guitarist/producer Max Tarenzi. An intense, contemplative, and dark work, yet not resigned, navigating through trip-hop, dream-pop, dark-wave, and electronica.”
By the Waves are a dynamic 4-piece band based in Manchester. A uniquely eclectic sprinkle of soul, dream-pop, reggae, rock & indie make their sound exciting and unforgettable in equal measure.
They bring beautifully constructed lyrics, delivered with a signature blend of falsetto melody lines and anthemic choruses, which are layered over driving rhythmic beats and groove-ridden baselines, all topped off with sun-drenched, reverb-soaked guitar lines and a pinch of synth.
This Swiss poppy shoegazers have an new EP, titled Hide and Seek, out on 19 April.
Marcie (vocalist) about the single: “Someday’ nearly didn’t make it onto the EP.
When we first played it as a band, we turned it into a dancey indie track. When it
came to recording the tune, we realised it didn’t work and left it on the sidelines.
After I first heard Mitski’s ‘Bug Like An Angel’ last summer, I picked up
my guitar and played ‘Someday’ again for the first time in months.
I realised it needed to stay the way it sounded when I first wrote it, intimate
and fragile. We recorded the song a few days later and decided to release it
after all.”
Crystalline vocals, endearing acoustic sonority, tender and romantic pearl.
