ALL TOGETHER


.

The 5 fresh ones
TRACK BY TRACK

Band: GURRIERS
Who: Fast-rising, Irish post-punk team who
released their debut album Come And See
a year ago.

Track: ERASURE

“Erasure is a chaotic mash of genres, an unwavering cry
into the void in the face of imperialism and tyranny”.

TUTV: These Irishmen hunt all sort of fascists who want to rule the world, with a sharp knife between the teeth, while chainsaw guitars, a manic drummer and an intimidating vocalist prepare for a fiery fight.

Artist: BAXTER DURY
Who: Flamboyant British songsmith.

Track: MOCKINGJAY

TUTV: Dury launches his 9th LP, tomorrow, Friday,
but in a hurry, he offers us a final taster with this funky,
drums-driven stomper.

Band: THE BIG IDEA
Who: Indie team from
La Rochelle, France.

Track: THESE DAYS
Newest single from their upcoming 6th album,
titled ‘Half A Dozen‘, out on October 17th.

It stands as a definitive post-punk manifesto, firmly rooted in the present.

TUTV: Expect a jagged jam circling around a non-stop riff that keeps rotating
in your head long after the outro. Ominous vocals grumble all over These Days’
beat-heavy groove. Boogielicious dynamics, threatening vibrations. Both
infectious and scary.

Band: CROW FOLLOW
Who: Boston‘s urban cabaret
and velvet shaman swamp rock project.

Track: GOLDEN DAYS

TUTV: This drum-powered chant spiced with some golden Mexican trumpet glow, sultry sax and ends with nervous guitars sounds a bit weird at first, but after a couple of spins, everything falls into place and you end up with a contagious, foot-tapping tune that you replay in an eye/ear blink. Top-tier stroke.

Band: HALFCUTLEMON
Who: Alternative rock band, from Copenhagen (Denmark),
blending raw punk aesthetics with cinematic depth and lyrical introspection.

Track: DISTURBANCE

The song turns a watchful eye toward conspiracy culture and our willingness to be guided, seated, and comforted. The message is part caution, part reassurance: someone will take care of you, keep you warm, radiators unite.

TUTV: Rip-roaring riffage, tireless drum beats and encouraging vocals work together tightly on this psyched up sucker punch that slows down suddenly somewhere in the middle, refills its tank and storms towards a berserk finale.

2 May 2025

ANDY BELL, the vocalist of synth-pop duo Erasure (19 albums since 1985) featuring former Depeche Mode/Yazoo keyboardist/songwriter Vince Clarke has released his
3rd solo album, titled TEN CROWS

Press info: “The new album features 10 brand new tracks of dazzling, joyous pop,
inspired by the dancefloor and gospel, which includes an incredible collaboration
with Andy Bell’s idol Debbie Harry. Ten Crowns was written with, and produced by,
the Grammy-winning US producer, remixer and DJ, Dave Audé.”

TUTV: It’s back to the disco 80s with Bell‘s new longplayer. It’s stuffed with
familiar sounding electro pop sparklers that trigger your limbs and make
you put on your glittery outfit and run to the dance floor.

Simple tunes, but oh so zestful and enchanting, making it a pop-ular record
for nightclubbers. It closes with touching track Thank You, celebrating everybody
who joined him on his (long) musical ride.
