2/ ‘New Dominions’ by JOHNNY MARR (Manchester, UK)
Most fascinating, most audacious and darkly groovin’ track/sound on Johnny Marr‘s new, third and adventurous solo longplayer Call The Comet. Gloomy modern-day glam-rock!

5/ ‘You Don’t Walk Away From Love’ by PEACE (Worcester, UK)
Vibrant guitar pop that makes your day from the very first flashy chord on. Lively and catching earworm from the band’s third album Kindness Is The New Rock And Roll.

6/ ‘Peaches’ by ANIMAL HOUSE (Brighton, UK)
This red-hot garage rock ripper will make your head spin 360° and will make your feet tap uncontrollably. Deranged stuff, with a Kings Of Leon twist, to go completely bananas to!

7/ ‘Diagnose Me’ by KANE INCOGNITO (Hamilton, Canada)
A touching folk injected symphony with singer Eric Kane Cherrington‘s soul-stirring vox
in the middle of this harmonious pearl. Crystal clear orchestration and arrangements.

8/ ‘Coming Down’ by GENA ROSE BRUCE (Melbourne, Australia)
The song is “a happy-go-lucky look into self-destruction and total upheaval. Complete with ironic cheerfulness and introspective criticism” says this charismatic Aussie artist. With her hypnotizing voice and striking songwriting potential she’s on her way to something special.

9/ ‘Without You’ by FABRIC BEAR (Edinburgh, Scotland)
Energetic three-headed guitar driven generator creates elevating exhilaration. Their combination of catchy poppiness and electrical tunefulness works perfectly! Bingo!

10/ ‘Firebird 85’ by SONS OF BILL (Virginia, US)
The way this simpatico band combines idyllic harmonies, melodic beauty and sonic romanticism goes way back to the 60s magic of The Byrds. From new LP OH GOD MA’AM
SONS OF BILL: Facebook
11/ Try (Cross My Heart by SOCIAL STATION (Washington, District of Columbia, DC)
A cloudy symphony for the twilight hours. Heavy-hearted, yet with some spark of hope
at the end of the day/night. The cinematic atmosphere adds drama to the experience.

See/hear you next month, music junkies…
11 June 2018
Wow! It’s almost two years since L.A.’s burning turbo DEAP VALLY released their second album Femejism. A blazing powerhouse, yet more varied than pure explosive dynamite debut Sistrionix. But, after a most surprising and appealing acoustic intermezzo, the cracking tandem of Lindsey Troy and Julie Edwards, now returns with a totally fresh smack. On GET GONE the ladies roar, roll, rumble and rattle like never before. There’s definitely a new whirling sonic edge. Like if the turbulent ladies mixed some sultry surf sequences with a dose of nasty The Cramps psychobilly, and injected the rowdy result with wicked garage energy and boiling blues rawness to pump it all up into a demonic uppercut that hits all
of your senses, directly. This clamorous crackerjack sounds ace. Hundred seconds of blistering hullabaloo. A tremendous bang-up. Press the button and check out the heat
for yourself right here, right now…

Hammering Californian duo DEAP VALLY came back this year with a big bang and Femijism, their overall smoking successor to 2013 devilish debut album Sistrionix.
Ass-kicking single SMILE MORE , released last June, made my head moving in four directions but this stripped to the bone live rendition performed for British music magazine NME is another must-hear experience. A different drive and a different
feel than on record. A bare blues injection. Lindsey Troy (guitarist/singer) and Julie
Edwards (drummer/singer) are two of a very special kind. Going their own way
while doing it their own noisy way. This honest outburst electrifies your senses…
New album FEMIJISM was released last September. Explore it here on iTunes
“I don’t wanna be a reflection, I don’t need your direction…” (Amsterdam, 26th September)
Female garage rock duo DEAP VALLY are finally back. They release their sophomore album FEMEJISM produced by Yeah Yeah Yeahs‘ sonic maestro Nick Zinner on 16th September. The first single SMILE MORE is described by the rousing Californian duo
as a ‘fuck you anthem’ and sounds as a damn bloody one. ‘I am not ashamed of my mental state/ And I am not ashamed of my body weight’ spits angry frontwoman Lindsey Troy while strengthening her I don’t care what you think rant with a smoking blues groove assisted
by drummer Julie Edwards‘ hammering force. Honest feminist dynamite! An outspoken barbed wire manifesto! Hail hail…
