JUKEBOX 2026 – WEEK 20 – Five New Rad Tracks Added Twice A Week
Hello, music junkies.
Another batch of 5 new, stellar tracks have
been added to Turn Up The Volume’s Jukebox.
Turn it up.
ALL TOGETHER
.
TRACK BY TRACK
Band: BODEGA
Who: Zesty indie-dance
rock team from NYC.
Track: PICK UP THE CHECK
New single from their forthcoming,
5th album. Details TBA.
Ben Hozie (frontman): “I know too many friends who tolerate unfulfilling
relationships out of politeness or fear of letting others down. You don’t have
to. Strike the set, rewrite the draft, and pick up the (metaphorical) check.”
TUTV: Less groovy and dancey than their previous work,
as guitars dominate more and the song’s rockin’ pepper.
Welcome back.

Band: CROSS WIRES
Who: Vehement post-punk
4-piece from Romford, UK.
Track: ECHO FOREVER
New cut from their upcoming third album, called
‘Under The Watchful Eye of Another Man’s God’.
TUTV: Funky guitar lines, Numanesque synths, ceaseless drumming, Jah-wobbling bass brio, and high-strung vocals come organically together for a gloomy post-punk outpouring.
Arresting.

Artist: KAT FIVE
Who: EBM songstress from London. She fuses together a raw
punk energy with a dark pop magic, she consistently creates
indefinable, politically-engaged glitched-up anthems.
Track: EMERGENCY START
New single.
Inspired by the Hard Art Collective (a cultural collective standing in solidarity
in the face of climate and democratic collapse) led by ambient master Brian Eno
the song offers a beat-fuelled call to action to a world that desperately needs
a shakeup.
FIVE: “Culture is a mighty way to inspire and unite people, and we need it more
than ever to help combat the horrors of the current world, and build new alternatives.
This is a call out to all kinds of creators, and also a shout out for some simple moves
you can make against techno-feudalism.”
TUTV: Kat Five offers a both luring and foreboding-sounding EBM tune for
shadow-dancing fans. Despite the hazardous times worldwide, she suggests,
rightly so, that togetherness is the only way to get out of the intolerant chaos
we have to go through right now.
Action!

Band: Nemøde
Who: Hybrid – drummer Nina and guitarist
Furyo – duo from BX, blending metal with
hyperpop & electro influences
Track: TRAGIC
Single from their brand new smoking-hot
6-track EP, named Tragic PINK.
TUTV: Nemøde operate in a space where London‘s cyber-punk duo Wargasm
and the combative British metalcore heroes Bring The Horizon have their niche.
Well, that’s what my bombarded ears tell me. The interwoven Nina and Furo
vocals inject Tragic with a transfixing urgence, culminating in an evaporative
chorus.
Striking stroke.

Band: FAT DOG
Who: disco punk squad from South-London who
woke up the dead with their debut LP WOOF.
Track: FUCK URSELF
New single.
TUTV: Simple and sugary electro-pop joy with 80s vibrations and the bucked-up,
scream-along, go fuck urself chorus that will be heard all over the summer at festivals.
I bet that the title was consciously chosen for those moments.
Altogether now.
