Band: NOTHING
Who: Philly shoegazers,
shoegazing since 2010.

Track: NEVER COME NEVER MORNING
The final single from their 6th LP, named
A Short History Of Decay, landing this Friday.

TUTV: Forcible guitar/drum/bass dynamics dominate this,
both a pretty melodic and capricious jam, having your aural
attention all the way. Shoe-pop-gaze excellence.

Band: LIFE
Who: Audacious post-punks
from Hull, UK.

Track: THE DOLLYWAGON
New piece from their upcoming 4th longplayer, called Abstract / Natural.
It’ll hit our stereos on June 19th. Tracklist and more details here.

Mezz Sanders-Green (frontman): “‘The Dollywaggon”s universal theme
is about letting go and moving on – new adventures and beginnings. I wrote
the lyrics whilst doing a long-distance walk, turning what I saw into characters
and scenes.”

TUTV: LIFE go fast-forward, full steam ahead from the first second and never look back. Their intoxicating buzz is motorized by a salvo of riffs, persistent drumming, and adrenaline-pumping vocals. They slow down somewhere in the middle, but don’t worry, it’s the harbinger for an abalaze climax.

Classy corker.

alt indies from the UK.

Track: AMONG US
Single from their sophomore album, baptized
Existence Is A Bliss. Out this Friday.

TUTV: These fast-rising mavericks excel in constructing orchestral, post-punk
symphonies, enriched with some steamy saxophone glow, in 3 and a half minutes
as they show again here on this wowing belter.

Sax it up right here.

get drunk to the high-octane groove, the inexhaustible beats, and
zippy vocals.

E-cstatic stunner.

Discover Belgian Funky Punky Collective LÉZARD Who Don’t Stop Making Sense

Posted on by JL

Up-and-coming

26 April 2024

Band: LEZARD
Who: Sharp-angled post-punk-disco outfit from Ghent, Belgium

Standing in a small club in front of a band you never heard of and get blown
away is always an aural thrill and puts a big smile on my music junkie face.

That magic feel hit me again last week when the Belgian collective named
LÉZARD played in my hometown of Ghent (Belgium) as part of the 4th edition
of indie showcase festival Badlands.

So what was it all about? Imagine Talking Heads reincarnated and only playing sweaty discotheques for people who love to move their feet, hips and butts when they hit town
at the midnight hours. That’s the idea of what Lézard caused with their addictive funky punky set, spiced with tantalizing tunes, boosting beats, burning down the house vibes and sparkling Freak Le Chic guitars here
and there.


Psycho killer

Lead vocalist Neil Claes rattles as manic as the young David Byrne did on repeat, soulful
co-singer Myrthe Marnef adds a sultry party-infused timbre, while the full band plays spot-on. No brakes, no breaks, no mistakes. They didn’t stop making sense. Bingo!


Part-yyyyyyyyy

So far they fabricated two songs. Two jump-up-and-down firecrackers, perfectly designed as a sonic introduction for what Lézard has to offer to your ears and all of your itchy limbs.

– NOTHING AT ALL
