JUKEBOX 2026 – WEEK 5 – Five New Rad Tracks Added Twice A Week
Probably the only playlist that matters
Another year, another Jukebox to fill with new
tracks, 5 twice a week, for your aural pleasure.
This is the 7th batch of 5 new rad ones of 2026.
ALL TOGETHER
TRACK BY TRACK
Band: DEAD DADS CLUB
Who: New project of Chilli Jesson who was the frontman of
former British guitar pop group Palma Violets (2011-2016).
Track: THAT’S LIFE
Piece from their most gripping,
brand new self-titled debut LP.
TUTV: This mid-tempo, guitar power pop anthem’s intensity is astonishing.
Inflamed emotions, galvanic outpouring, deep-felt vocals. Formidable performance.
This is what’s sonic life is about.
Goosebumps.

Band: THE FAIR ATTEMPTS
Who: A dystopian force – Timo Haakana and his wife Starwing – from Finland who merge raw, driving rhythms with haunting melodies, exploring the human condition in a future where technology, control, and alienation intertwine.
Track: GHOST WITHIN
“Ghost Within” examines the internal monsters: negative self-talk, doubts, pride before collapse, and the subtle ways the human mind feeds on its own fear. The song portrays self-awareness as a mirror maze, where reflection offers no clear exit.
TUTV: This pumping, new-wavish synth stomper causes head spins from the kick-off.
Ghost Within sticks immediately with its orchestral melodrama, darksome goth echoes, stirring vocals and high-octane chorus.
Slam-bang.

Artists: SKYRACER
Who: British synth-wave
rock duo from Sheffield.
Track: LAST TOKEN
Their 8th single.
TUTV: Synth-rock pandemonium with industrial NIN droning. Heavy-duty electropunk to sway yourself dizzy to. Last Token never loses its persistent grip. Booming beats crush your stereo. Trust me, it’s worth the damage.
Bang-on tune.

Band: VIRGINS
Who: Belfast-based
shoegaze indies.
Track: CRUCIBLE
From their upcoming, final release.
A 4-track EP, named Light The Space Left Behind.
Out on February 19th. More info here.
TUTV: Sad news. This compelling indie shoezegaze collective call it a day after 5 years.
Their debut album nothing hurt and everything was beautiful made Turn Up The Volume a fan. This both manic-guitar-propelled and melodic jam, spiced with crystalline vocals, is an arresting harbinger for the band’s goodbye.
Virgins didn’t hurt, everything they did was beautiful.

Artists: WAYWARD VINE
Who: Acoustic collective – Valerie Rachel and Greg Lawrence – exploring the human condition and the world around us. Our music probes themes of love, heartbreak, obsession, and social justice.
Track: THE FALL
The title track of their notable debut
album. You can stream it here.
TUTV: This enchanting reverie is so welcome in these messed-up times. Back to nature, where you can enjoy tranquility and reload your mind with basic normality. Touching piano play, some harmonica warmth, some violin nostalgia, acoustic guitar melancholy, bass and drum smoothness and hearty vocals paint a bittersweet symphony visualized now in a new, sepia-colored video.
Enrapturous.
