Band: DITZ
Who: Unbridled post-punks from
Brighton, UK (where everybody is
in a band).

New album: NEVER EXHALE.
It’ll show up 25 January 2025.
Pre-order info here.

It follows their blistering debut longplayer
The Great Regression that came out in 2022.

Press info: ‘NEVER EXHALE’ is the sound of a band that hasn’t stopped for a breath.
DITZ have toured relentlessly since the release of their first album ‘The Great Regression’. The songs that form their newest offering were written across Europe, often on off days and in borrowed rehearsal rooms.

It could be said that the band treat recording and release of music as an afterthought. Often playing songs live years before their release, tweaking them as they go. The songs on the final record may change before they are ever heard as part of the album.”

LIVE

Live the band is a mean raging drone machine fronted by charismatic voice/face
Cal Francis. Last Sunday I saw them for the 6th time and my ears are still buzzing.

Too Good To Forget – Listening Back To Emotive Rockers VYNN And Their Two Heartfelt Singles…

Posted on by JL

28 May 2020

The surreal times we live in hurt lots of young bands/artists, especially when they
released new work they wanted to promote with gigs, until that awful coronavirus
erased all touring plans. One of those up and coming acts is ardent Belgian indie trio VVYNN (read: win) who made a firm impression with their first two EPs, ‘Crumble’ in
2017 and ‘Lux’ in 2018.

The highly promising three-piece dropped two new pieces last December. Two new glowing singles showing the band’s great leap forward. Sonically they moved towards
PJ Harvey territory. You can feel and hear her electric ardour, her wayward view on pop and rock and her inflammatory voice in Vvynn‘s new work.

Both MOANING and EXHALE are heartfelt, high-powered, and energy-charged strokes with a soul-stirring sonourness and frontwoman Angie‘s vox sending shivers down your spine. Too good to forget amidst this sciene-fiction-like period.

Clips that will have an impact on your eyes and your ears…

VIVA VIDEO

24 February 2020

Belgian indie rock trio VVYNN (read: win) released last December two new stirring
tracks, ‘Exhale‘ reminding me of PJ Harvey’s deep digging intensity and ‘Moaning’, a poignant introspection causing goosebumps. Two affecting, amplified musings lifting
the band to a higher and must hear level.

Last month they launched a graceful and expressive clip for EXHALE and recently
an equally emotive video went online for MOANING. Check it out below…

I’ve been moaning in the sun
Where no one no one
Is hearing my song
When did I ever become
The one I was hiding from
The one that started
The moaning

In case you missed the Exhale clip, discover the beauty here…

Electrifying And Eager Trio VVYNN Shares Clip For New Intense Track ‘EXHALE’…

Posted on by JL

Clips that will have an impact on your eyes and your ears…

23 January 2020

Belgian indie rock trio VVYNN (read : win) made a firm impact with their first two
EPs. Crumble in 2017 and Lux released last year. Last December the band returned
with two new tracks ‘Exhale’ and ‘Moaning’ with the first one being my favourite as
‘Exhale‘ reveals the most clearly this ambitious three-piece’s great sonic step forward.

It’s a tower of a song reminding me of PJ Harvey’s‘s electrifying intensity, her spine-tingling voice and her opinionated and astounding way of writing songs. Yes, ‘Exhale‘
is equally mettlesome, exhilarating and lifelike with frontwoman Angie‘s fervent vox
shining as never before. Top stroke!

To visualize ‘Exhale‘ the band shared a graceful,
expressive and evocative video clip.
Watch and enjoy here…

Belgian Indie Rock Trio VVYNN Returns With Two New Impassioned Singles…

Posted on by JL

16 December 2019

Belgian indie rock trio VVYNN (read : win) made a strong impression with their first
two EPs, ‘Crumble’ in 2017 and ‘Lux’ released last year. Turn Up The Volume said back
then: “This is a threesome of gifted youngsters producing amplified guitar pop with a healthy dose of rousing adrenalin, balancing between Kristin Hersh‘s ardent Throwing Muses and
Tanya Donelly’s starry-eyed Belly, but less polished.”

The thrilling three-piece is finally back with two new impassioned and most captivating singles at the same time showing the band’s great leap forward. Sonically they moved towards PJ Harvey territory. You can feel her electric intensity, her wayward view on pop and rock music and her astonishing voice here in Vvynn‘s new work tremendously well.

Both new striking crackerjacks are remarkable for their compelling, high-powered, and
dynamic structure dragging you slowly but surely into its frenetic guitar-dominated vehemence and soul-stirring tenseness fueled by a robust drums/bass tandem, while frontwoman Angie‘s vocals send shivers down your spine. Welcome back VVYNN!

Listen here to the two new singles…
