JUKEBOX 2026 – WEEK 38 – Five New Rad Tracks Added Twice A Week
Hello, music junkies.
Another batch of 5 new, stellar tracks has
been added to Turn Up The Volume’s Jukebox.
Turn it up.
ALL TOGETHER
.
TRACK BY TRACK
Band: ASH
Who: The rockin’ vets
from Northern Ireland.
Track: BITTERSWEET BLUE
New single. You can pre-order the 7″ vinyl right here.
The firm rocker will be on the 30th anniversary edition
of their debut LP 1977, out October 16th. More info here.
TUTV: After all these years seething guitars and poppy harmonies still
dominate Ash tunes. And they are still pretty good at it. Bring on the heat.
Band: AMYJODOH & THE SPANGLES
Who: Spanish punk rock fury who
have scored two albums thus far.
Track: IT’S A GIRL
AmyJohDoh: “It’s about reconnecting with the feminine energy in all of us: compassion, respect, harmony, empathy. Look where all that anger and ‘divide and conquer’ energy has actually gotten us. Enough is enough. The time has come for change, and it starts with
each one of us.”
TUTV: These Spanish punk rock bloodhounds do not waste valuable time. Piping-hot guitars kickstart this supersonic stormer, immediately followed by the flamboyant frontwoman AmyJohDoh who’s loud and clear about these days’ ongoing worldwide intolerance and damaging bigotry.
Why not get all together and start a global moshpit while the true-hearted vehemence behind It’s Girl blasts out of giant speakers. C’mon, let’s give it a try. Fun guaranteed.
Welcome to #SPANGLELANDIA.
Band: SEADOG
Who: Dream-pop outfit from the mystic shores of Brighton (where
almost everybody is in a band). They have 2 albums under their belts.
Track: INTO THE NIGHT
The song is a haunting descent into isolation and anxiety that channels
a sense of creeping unease, and the ghosts we carry with us long after
the lights go out.
TUTV: Sonically and vocally, this jangly guitar pop woolgathering resonates like
a breezy Indian summer tune for quiet night drives. On the other hand, the song’s
story isn’t a happy one, whatsoever. Mental issues draw all attention.
Well, these days, with the chaotic times we live in, ruled by psychotic world leaders,
it’s not like we have a lot of reasons to jump for joy. And then again, music can have
a healing force. It always has. In the end, music rules. As it does here.
Artist: KURTYS KIDD
Who: Canadian gritty guitar
riff rocker and actor.
Track: OUT IN THE SPIRAL ARM
Preview from his upcoming 2nd album, The Dirty Machine, landing on September 30th. A record about finding your way through the dark to the dawn.
The eye-catching album artwork
TUTV: Out In The Spiral Arm is a classic hard rocker motorized by an avid army of roasting
riffs-licks-hooks loaded guitars. They create an overwhelming wall of high-octane thunder that blows you and your speakers away, while Kidd‘s hell-bent voice adds more fuel to the electrical firestorm.
Artist: KEVIN MORBY
Who: The Texan troubadour/songsmith.
Track: PBJ
New standalone single that follows his
8th full-length Little Wide Open, released
in May.
TUTV: One of Morby’s close friends described driving with the windows down and the air conditioning on as ‘peanut butter jelly’. Hence PBJ. Morby‘s romanticism and enthralling voice mark this electrifying, folky daydream. His beloved wife/songstress Waxahatchee stars in the accompanying video clip.
