Band: THANK
Who: 4 indie noisemakers
from Leeds, UK.
Track: WOKE FRASIER
It follows previous ace
single Do It Badly.
“The song strikes an alluring mixture of dark techno adjacent punk themes and farcical lyrics from the perspective of a right-wing podcast host grifter obsessed with the word Woke. Solidifying the group’s terminally online status, the song is accompanied by a brilliant absurdist music video made in a video game sim akin to “You’re A Wizard Harry”.
Punk woke punk here,
punk woke there,
punk woke everywhere.
Hells bells!

Band: TV PINS
Who: 5-piece from London and the West Midlands, delivering vocal harmony drenched sounds of West coast Americana with distinctively British avant-garde songwriting. They share a love of keyboard grooves and a fusion of styles from 70s Americana, classic British new wave, 60’s psychedelia and hook-laden power pop.
Press: “Set against a dystopian backdrop, ‘Bye Bye Reseda’ transports listeners to an alternate reality where the United States has become a dictatorship. In this world, the supreme leader has transformed the entire southern states into one massive golf course named after his favourite Los Angeles suburb. While the residents of Reseda are forced into servitude, working as caddies, bartenders and exotic dancers for less than minimum wage, one brave couple make their escape for the coast.”
Vibrant tune. Revved-up orchestration.
Guitar-charged power pop gem.
Scream-along chorus.
FUCK TRUMP!

Band: HUGE MOLASSES TANK EXPLODES
Who: 4 space rockers from Italy.
Track: TENUOUS FORM
Piece from their new III album.
Psychedelic Kraut-pop-rock trip, driven
by gloomy synths, mind-boggling bass lines
and bone-chilling guitar electricity, with
ghostly vocals creating a twilight
experience.

Track: GRAYSTONE
“The Graystone was a venue we used to play in Detroit back in the late 80s when I was in the Doughboys. It was always an adventure, from just getting across the border to dealing with the promoter, Cary Safarian, who everyone referred to as ‘Scary.’
“Graystone” showcases singer Pytel’s signature gravelly vocals and clever, tongue-in-cheek lyrics, all backed by slamming rhythms, punchy guitars, and rolling bass lines that drive the melodies. Pytel reflects on the inspiration behind the song, saying, “The Graystone was a venue we used to play in Detroit back in the late 80s when I was in the Doughboys. It was always an adventure, from just getting across the border to dealing with the promoter, Cary Safarian, who everyone referred to as ‘Scary.’
Passionate.
High-powered.
Far-out and fiery.

Artists: COCOROSIE
Who: Folktronica sisters Sierra Rose Rosie”
and Bianca Leilani “Coco” Casady.
Track: LEAST I HAVE YOU
The first new song to celebrate
the siblings’ 20 years in music.
Press: The song’s musical arc mirrors the sisters’ relationship: it begins
combatively, with the sound of gun-toting guitar squalls and beats like
Street Fighter punches, before leveling out into tentative euphoria,
cautiously crawling towards the ecstatic union of that chorus.
Happy 20.

Artists: CROW BABY
Who: Berlin-based duo, featuring Jean-Louise Parker and Cherilyn MacNeil,
both born and raised in Johannesburg, South Africa, and each a songwriter
and multi-instrumentalist with own projects.
Track: ONLY IF YOU WORK
“Hey, rein it in/ Pain again/ Rein it in / Feign, play it ok/
Play it to win, Never give in, never complain“,
“Like an anthem or a mantra, cheering themselves on as they strain to reach some unnamed success. In verse two, “rein” becomes “reign” – shrieked like a mad queen! – cheeky word play that alludes to great ambitions.”
Both sensuous and ardent guitar-pop entertainment
with crystalline vocals and a far-out climax.

Artist: MR BILLY FITZGERALD
Who: Singer-songwriter from Ireland who
makes eclectic lush indie-pop-rock songs.
Track: OLD LOVES
“A song almost two decades in the making that explores the dangerous
nostalgia in looking back through rose tinted glasses at past romances.”
A peppy, amplified and foot-stompin’
pop groove spiced with affecting vocals.
