BAND: GURRIERS
Who: Fast-rising, voltaic
indies from Dublin, Ireland.

Album: NOBODY’S COMING TO SAVE YOU
Their 2nd.

Press info: “With Nobody’s Coming To Save You, Gurriers have sent their ambitions sky-high and come out swinging. If the band’s MO was to find a way to make the record “slap you in the face”, then consider yourself smacked.”


Album artwork

TUTV: Without a shadow of a doubt, one of the hottest records of the year. They rock,
they punk, and they punch with blood-and-guts fervour. They’re on a quest to find the
light at the end of the tunnel to replace today’s dark times. Watch your back, Fontaines, your fellow committed countrymen are coming fast.

Band: GILLA BAND
Who: Razor-blade-cutting,
idiosyncratic Irish post-punks.

Album: PUGNELLO.
Their 4th and first in 4 years.

Press info: “Gilla Band never know where they’re going next. For over ten years now,
the Dublin quartet have been redefining what you could loosely call “rock music” in the 21st century, influencing a wide swath of similarly forward-thinking guitar acts along the way.”

TUTV: I follow/love these Irishmen since I saw them live in Belgium in 2014
as nervous snotnoses hadn’t a record out yet, as support act for Fat White
Family. Their chainsaw hullabaloo went through bone and marrow.

And it still does. Mind you, their songs had and still have bloodcurdling body and returning, capriocious structure that’s bone-chilling and mind-blowing at times, while frontman Dara Kiely fights upfront to vomit his eccentric lyrics. If your eardrums survive
this electric-chair experience, you’re ready for some more sonic Gilla Band blitzkrieg.

Band: ADULT DVD
Who: EBM punk agitators
from Leeds, UK.

Album: ADULT DVD
Debut LP

Press info: “The album fuses Adult DVD’s love of hook laden indie, with
pulsing groove, 90’s acid house influence and an undeniable humour in
their songwriting.”


Album artwork

TUTV: Think/feel this. Electro-punk mixed with industrial thumps mixed with drum/bass bashing sledgehammers mixed with sonic booms. Sounds like thunder and lightning fireworks for (il)legal raves produced by techno experts Underworld. Bonkers, right?
You wham bam betcha.

Band: NOTHING BUT THIEVES
Who: British Herculean rock squad
formed in 2012 in Essex.

Album: STRAY DOGS
Their 5th.

Press info: “Stray Dogs reconnects the Southend five-piece with their DIY roots.
The album was written in unison over a dedicated 5-month period, resulting in
the band creating their most liberating and cohesive work to date.”


Album artwork

TUTV: On 6 tracks NBT mess with your rotating head with untrammelled force,
storm-wracked noiz drills, hysterical guitars, drum/bass horsepower, and full-hearted vocals. On the other 6 tracks they go for more traditional rock sucker punches. It results
in a roller coaster record with a straightaway impact. Nothing but thrills.

Artists: SOFT CELL
Who: British electro-pop champs featuring vocalist
Marc Almond and the late keyboardist Dave Ball.

Album: DANCETARIA
6th and final one.

The recordings were finished before co-founder
Dave Ball passed away last year in October.

Press info: “The final album is both a love letter to early 80s New York and
a tribute to the late, great Dave Ball. The album is a big, classy and playful
farewell after.”

TUTV: It’s a Soft Cell worthy goodbye, showing their heart and soul for dancefloor
entertainment once again, but, unfortunately, for the last time. Their magnificent 1981
gem “Say Hello, Wave Goodbye” is playing in my head while writing this. Thank you for
the music, electronic dance pop champs.

Artist: BLONDSHELL
Who: American singer-songwriter
Sabrina Mae Teitelbaum

Track: HEART HAS TO WORK SO HARD
First single from her upcoming, 3rd LP.
Details TBA.

“This song is really about friendship and betrayal, getting stuck in a dynamic and letting things fester. It’s about pain and confusion — no one trains you for the ups and downs of a friendship between two women — but it’s also about a love so enduring that you find compassion no matter what.”

TUTV: Another blondshell bombshell.

from Dublin, Ireland.

Track: NOBODY’S COMING TO SAVE YOU
Title song from their upcoming, 2nd LP.
Out Sept 25th. More info here.

“It’s a song that feels hopeless on its first listen, but if you look at it more deeply it’s a call to action, no one is going to rise up if everyone expects someone else to do it. We all have to do our part in creating the change.”

TUTV: Bedazzling post-punk corker. Infectiously nerve-racking.
These Irishmen continue their indie-supertop quest. You bet.

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.

Instagram – Spotify
——————————————————————————————————————————-

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.

Instagram – Website
——————————————————————————————————————————-

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.
