Posted on by JL

22 July 2024

Band: JOHNNY MARR And THE HEALERS
Who: Marr‘s own short-lived band (2001-2004)

Band: FIDLAR
(Fuck It Dog, Life’s a Risk)

Track: DOWN OUT

From the LA punks’ 4th LP, their first in 5 years. It’s named
Surviving The Dream and will land on September 20.

Down Out is an instantly sticking, jangly and
non-stop speedy offshoot. Head-twisting stuff.

Band: PALAYE ROYALE
Who: Las Vegas‘ rock stars

Track: ACHE IN MY HEART

Third cut from their upcoming 5th album,
named Death Or Glory, out on August 30.

Mid-tempo pop gem.

Instagram

Band: THE COURETTES
Who: Danish-Brazilian
duo based in Denmark.

Track: CALIFORNIA

The lead single from the glam and glitter pop tandem’s
upcoming longplayer The Soul Of… The Fabulous Courettes
out September 27.

Flavia Couri (voice): “I mean, I know some bands can do that but we don’t see
ourselves making the same album for the next 20 years. We thought ‘Back In Mono’
was our best album until this one!”

California is a pure summer pop kick. A fun, infectious,
organ-juiced tune with a 60s Shangri-Las vocality to make
your day.

Instagram

Artist: PERFUME GENIUS
Who: The musical moniker for Iowa‘s passionate
singer/songwriter Michael Alden Hadreas who scored
6 LPs so far.

Track: ALL AROUND ME NOW

One of the two songs PG wrote for the brand-new released soundtrack
for 2023 film National Anthem, about a 21-year-old construction worker
in New Mexico joins a community of queer rodeo performers in search of
their own version of the American dream.

Playful piano musing.

RADIO COMPASS – Massachusetts’ Indie Rockers Love ‘CALIFORNIA’

Posted on by JL

New striking strokes

13 October 2023

Band: RADIO COMPASS
Who: 4 indies from Salem, Massachusetts who combine riot grrl yip and yelp
with the arch tunefulness of peak new wave songwriters, wrapped up and
delivered in equal parts bashing grunge and lockstep post-punk. Their songs
alternately plead, scold, and simmer.

Last year they released their 2nd album Aloha out. TUTV loved it: “3 riot grrrls
and 1 riot boooy looking cool, sounding cool on 9 spicy tunes bringing L7, Throwing
Muses, and the Go-Go’s to mind. Aloha to all and for all.”. Stream LP below.

New single: CALIFORNIA

Angela Lee (frontwoman) “California is a reflection of different possibilities – what was,
what is, what can be. It’s a song about trusting your path but more so burning bright and owning your shine, and periodic chaos, and refusing to allow others to dull it”

TUTV: California rolls with vivacious verve and infectious pace from the get-go,
spiced by surf-pop-like guitars, think Californian beach boys The Drums.

Brisk euphony, infective melody, swirling drum-driven pace and spirited vocals.
This frolicsome pop nugget should be played on all radios. Listen up, DJs.

“You let the right ones go and you’re sad / you tried to write him off and not feel bad / now that times moved on from yesterday you try to let it go but no way / I can be your all you see / spin me like a ballerina / we can burn on and on / I can be your California / Do you wanna see it all / get swept away / in a sea of stars / moth to a flame / or do you wanna leave it all / run away / but it won’t burn out / this bright blaze / I can be all you see / spin me like a ballerina / we can burn on and on / I can be your California / I see you sometimes in rearview / the sun rises in western views high-high-high / I fall asleep in snowy skies and wait for warmth to thaw out my eyes-eyes-eyes / burn bright / burn bright / I burn bright / i can burn on and on / I can be your California”
