Every day of this summer we go back to the same summer date somewhere in history
25 June 2026
Pulse Magazine July, 1996 📸Karen Mason
Grunge legends SCREAMING TREES (1984-2000) fronted by the late great baritone
vocalistMark Lanegan (1964-2022) released their illustrious 7th and final LP, titled DUST on 25 June 1996, today 30 years ago.
Kerrang Magazine selected Dust as the best album of 1996. The band toured behind Dust for nearly two years with former Kyuss and future Queens of the Stone Age frontman JOSH HOMME serving as a touring guitarist.
UNCUT Magazine said in retrospect: “It sounded – and still sounds – like the perfect evolution of grunge, consciously realigning that upstart music with the classic rock and psychedelia which had preceded it.”
In order to not miss a beat TURN UP THE VOLUME scans the musical
horizon daily, for 10 years now, to pick ace tracks and add 5 new ones
twice per week, to the one and only JUKEBOX playlist that matters.
ALL TOGETHER
The 5 fresh ones TRACK BY TRACK
Band:SHOW ME THE BODY Who: Post-core trio from NYC, formed
in 2009, and 3 albums so far.
Track: SABOTAGE
A cover of Beastie Boys‘ 1994 cracker.
TUTV: Fight for your right to sabotage lousy parties.
Track: WHAT IF
Piece from her upcoming 3rd full-length, called A Rupture A Canyon A Birth, out October 17th.
The song is inspired by the moment that a semi truck plowed into their broken-down tour van. Nobody in the Jane Inc. touring party was hurt in that accident, and they even played their scheduled show later that night. But everyone could’ve easily been killed, and that kind of near-death experience will do something to you. That’s the key to what if.
TUTV: Bumping EBM thrumming, shimmering synths, trippy piano touches,
and vocal outpouring. Donna Summer would like this stomper. Dress up
and hurry to the discotheque.
Who: Toronto-based foursome that started as an alternative/60s garage rock band but slowly but surely started to move toward their current sonic identity taking cues from Toronto’s local psychedelic scene as well as contemporary bands like Wand, Flying Colours, and The Black Angels
Pick: DUST – new cut from their upcoming mini-album
‘Parallel States of Consciousness‘, out 13th September
Score: ‘Dust‘ is a slow-burning psych-o-delic groove moving viciously like a nasty snake
on a mean mission. A wall-of-electrical-noise that wouldn’t be out of place in a horror movie. Stupefying turbulence all the way. Capture the heat right here…
