ALL TOGETHER


.
TRACK BY TRACK

Artist: HEATHER NOVA
Who: The much/long lauded
Bermudian singer-songwriter,
59 now.

Track: IN THE PATH OF HURRICANES

Taster from her upcoming 13th LP, baptized
The Orchard. Out in October.

A song about the intoxicating feeling of longing that comes
when you feel chemistry with someone, but aren’t sure if
it’s all in your head.

TUTV: The song’s footstomping, iterative, groovy drum/bass beat gets you in
a trance from the first listen. On top of the stream comes Nova‘s gentle and
crystalline voice. Transfixing pop ardour.

Band: VEDA RAYS
Who: Indie duo from Philly, making ethereal indie rock rooted in dream pop, post-punk, and traditional shoegaze, with lyrics that explore liminality and abstraction, channeling subconscious impulses into the present moment.

Track: CAPRICIOUS FATES

Piece from their brand-new 5-track EP, named
You Can Do Anything. Stream/buy HERE.

TUTV: Veda Rays deliver some glorious guitar pop gusto infused with
a capriously catchy drive here, pepped up with expressive vocals and
a kinetic chorus. Striking stroke.

All the days go careening by
strangers replaced when we tried to hide
All the days went careening right by
capricious fates upending the ride/
capricious fates upending the ride

Artist: E.T.
Who: Captivating singer-songwriter Eric Turner from Chattanooga, TN
whose music is built on honest storytelling that comes straight from the heart.
While he has spent time in several notable bands over the years, most of E.T.’s
career has been on the road as a solo acoustic performer.

Track: WHAT IS TAKING YOU SO LONG
New single.

TUTV: Get ready for some old rock ‘n’ roll time vibrations. A mix of boogie woogie swagger, pelvis-twisting Americana rock, galvanic guitar hooks and spot-on fitting vocals will get you in the mood to jump into a convertible Chevy oldtimer and hit the road, hair in the wind and playing this sepia-colored earworm. I won’t take you long to enjoy the ride.

Band: FAT DOG
Who: Disco-punk misfits from London.

Track: CALL IT WHAT YOU WANT
Newest single from their new, 2nd album,
baptized Cancel Me (I’m Tired)) out Oct 2.

Joe Love (frontman): . “That’s me looking at people in my family
and their problems and thinking, ‘Is it gonna be the same for me?
Is it in my DNA?’”

TUTV: Less explosive than what we are used to by these dogs,
yet enough ambience to hop around the kitchen table.

TUTV: I could have sworn this is a Grandaddy song. Its soft, dreamy tonality, melancholic vocality and romantic timbre assured me of it. But, hey, it’s DIIV at their most relaxed.

THE PRETENDERS Topped The UK Album Charts 45 Years Ago Today With Their Debut LP

Back in time

10 February 2025

CHRISSIE HYNDE (73 now) and her PRETENDERS had
instant success in the UK with their Self-titled Debut LP.

It topped the Charts this day 45 years ago, on 10 February 1980.
It peaked at #9 on the Billboard 200 and was certified platinum, over
the ocean, 2 years later.

Sounds (UK music weekly) said at the time: “Its success, which should
be fairly apparent through the next few months, will be valued not through
hype and wildly enthusiastic pen-happy journalists but through a number
of strong album tracks.”

It featured 3 of their best singles ever.

– STOB YOUR SOBBING –

CHIN UP, KID – Powerhouse Rockers From Indianapolis Built A Wall Of Titanic Sound On New Haymaker ‘INCUBUS’

Daily noise that works faster than any stimulant

29 November 2023

CHIN UP, KID is a powerhouse rock band
from Indianapolis who started to make noisy
havoc in 2013.

Now 2 albums and 10 years later they’re gearing up for
a third longplayer. It’s titled ‘Blackheart Social‘ and will see
the day of light on 22 March 2024 via We Are Triumphant
Records
.

Ahead of it they dropped this new projectile, named INCUBUS
featuring Danny Rose Murillo from Hollywood Undead.

Jon Benjamin (guitarist): ““Incubus is the part of our record that deals with the temptations brought on by the Hollywood life. The main character absolutely indulges in this. It was so great working with Danny on this song! He absolutely brought our vision to life with his additions!

Incubus is a monster of a hammer blow with a titanic wall of sound. You can split
concrete with this cast-iron haymaker. Sky-scraping vocals, Herculean drumming,
burning guitars and a bombastic chorus combine for a volcanic eruption. Today Indianapolis, tomorrow Hollywood. Helmet should take Chin Up, Kid them on tour.

Hells bells!
