Artist: LAURA JANE GRACE
Who: Chicago‘s notorious singer-songwriter who’s around since the 90s.
She makes a lot of noise with her punk group Against Me! (7 albums so far)
and solo (2 albums so far).

Track: YOUR GOD (GOD’S DICK)

Grace: “Does God have a dick? Is that what those of the faith believe when they refer to their Lord as “he” & “him” & “father”? Well, imagine that! Oops, I think I may have imagined a little too hard and gone and written a song about it. He lord’s heavenly hammer must swing mighty! And away we go! Here is the first offering from the songs I recorded over the summer in Athens, Greece while there on a Fellowship through the Onassis Foundation.”

TUTV: Your God (God’s Dick) is both a hilarious and fucktastic punk
choir chant reminiscent of scream and shout Celtics Dropkick Murphys
with a blustering storm of surf-like riffs chopping your stereo into
pieces.

Wowzers.

boisterous 5th album Cursed.

bathroom, kicthen, wherever you want. Just jump up and down like a
kangaroo on dope.

Band: CLUTTER
Who: Full-energized indies

unstoppably, while eager vocals roll over its hypnotic flow. Your head spins
around and all your other limbs join the ride on the spot. Ace.

Band: LONELY LITTLE KITSH
Who: Canadian indie duo – Kristen Goetz and Nolan Jodes who took their name
from “…just another future song, lonely little kitsch” from the late genial Bowie‘s
1974 banger Diamond Dogs

Track: HOW DO WE GET HERE

Goetz (vocalist): “It’s a song about second chances vs. leaving the past behind.
When you reach a point that you can try again or keep moving on and making
progress… in this case, the decision is to keep going forward. It’s a Pixies meets
pop-punk track.”

TUTV: Fast forward we go from the kick-off. Power-driven pop punk fun all the way peaking when the high-voltage chorus kicks in. That’s why LLK got here in the top-10
of TUTV’s best tracks of this month.

Band: HEISA
Who: Belgian LOUD rock trio whose sound draws influences from bands such as
Black Midi, Tool, Battles and Swans, blending dissonance with a strong sense of identity. Their music balances chaos and control, mixing unsettling atmospheres with hypnotic rhythms and sharp distortion.

Track: FLOWERS

2nd single from the band’s third LP
‘TROIS’, landing on March 28th.

TUTV: Flowers is a slow progressing outburst of earsplitting
noizz turmoil. Schizophrenic guitars, bashing drums, and eerie spooky vocals
conspire to mess up your head, the way you like it.

Artist: ANIKA
Who: Charismatic
Berlin-based sonsgtress.

Track: HEARSAY

First single from her upcoming 4th full length,
baptized Abyss and will drop on April 4th.

TUTV: Hearsay‘s sound resonates richer than before. The song has a rockin’ groove
and poised drive with a psychedelic effect. On top comes Anika‘s mesmerizing voice
and she tackles the polluting media brainwashing people. Rad effort.

Band: LEATHERETTE
Who: Buzzing indie
trio from Italy.

Track: ITCHY

It’s a cathartic breakup song, blending the raw energy of post-punk with the angular charm of new wave. Written from the perspective of an inept and creepy protagonist, the track navigates the emotional chaos of a crumbling relationship, where frustration, anger, and reluctant self-realization collide.

TUTV: Indie guitar pop/rock at its piercing best.
Both unbridled and melodic, soundtracking
barbed emotions. Bone-chilling whack.

Band: VAZUM (Detroit, Michigan)
Who: Zach Pliska and Emily Sturm. They describe their sound as deathgaze,
combining the raw energy of deathrock with the depth of shoegaze. So far
the duo released six albums and a handful of singles and EPs.

Track: PRETTY BRUTAL

It’s the title song from the duo’s forthcoming album due later
this year. It follows last year’s acclaimed Western Violence LP.

TUTV: Vazum rock out with urgent panache and
puissance. Full steam ahead the first chord on.
Emily Sturms‘ sensual vocals add a sense of
seductive mysteriousness. Striking stroke.

Band: SLICERRR
Who: 4-piece garage-punk band from Helsinki, Finland. The band’s sound
is straightforward, brute and chaotic. The songs are bass-driven and catchy.

Track: LOSING MY GRIP

Opener from their brand new
self-titled debut EP. Discover
it here.

TUTV: If you want to lose your brain, than this sick mindfucker is what you need.
These Finnish dogs cut it sharp with a vicious bass-riff, shizo guitars and agressive
vocals. Helter-skelter.

Band: SKLOSS
Who: Formed in Austin, TX as a husband-and-wife duo between American drummer/vocalist Karen Skloss and Scottish guitarist/vocalist Sandy Carson
during the COVID lockdown.

Track: MIND HIVE

From their upcoming debut album The Pattern Speaks. Out on March7th.

TUTV: After a short cracking, distorted guitar intro all hell breaks loose. They
produce a raw and rough clangor that grabs you by the throat and holds its
firm grip all the way. No arty farty stuff for this garage punk blues tandem.

Band: SMITT E. SMITTY & THE FEZZTONES
Who: Kooky Boston-based glam and glitter
rock octet.

Track: #1 MOST LIKELY

TUTV: Pure pop gem, feel-good injection, sticky easy-going booster. You
can sing along, swing along, shake along, whistle and hum along. Its merry
melody works like a magnet. It’s an all together now chant for all lovers out
there.

Until EVERYONE is convinced to be at least a tolerant human being, we
need to spread John Lennon’s All You Need Is Love message, like Smitt E.
Smitty
and his flourishing party gang do their flamboyant way, on repeat.

Artist: KAT KOAN
Who: Femme fatale songstress
from Berlin, Germany.

Track: COCOON

Koan: “It’s a little circus themed escape world. I wanted to create a bit of a dreamy
break from daily worries. It’s pretty crafty and full of cool instruments. It also features
my daughter for a brief moment. It’s my favourite song I’ve made so far.”

TUTV: Step into Koan‘s cocoon. It relaxes your mind, triggers you to set your busy plans
on a hold, and invites your body to have a waltz-y dance that transfers you to a utopian circus place for a while, far away from our daily, suffocating rat race.

Don’t worry, be happy.

honest and brutal lyrics. Their music is a secret

Sky-scraping vocality and ardent horns. Masterly
composition.

along. Okay, it’s Sterephonics by numbers, but a good number.

him at least one time.

barnstormer.

Track: TELL ME ALL YOUR SECRETS Pt. 2
Debut single from upcoming debut LP.

Matt Brannon (bandleader) It’s about that painful disconnection in a relationship—when someone is living a double life but refuses to admit it, even after it’s over. The song started with that personal story but grew into something much bigger, reflecting on the tension between authenticity and secrecy”.

TUTV: Get up, stand up and fight for your right to shake your booty.
Some Freak Le Chic riffs, echoes from New York City‘s indie legends
The Rapture and energetic vocals will trigger your craziest dance
moves.
