For a couple of years now TUTV added 10 new tracks every 7 days.
This year we will put 5 new ones in the Jukebox twice a week.

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 208th.
Heisa hit hard again. Flowers is a slow
progressing outburst of earsplitting noizz turmoil.
Schizophrenic guitars, bashing drums, and spooky
vocals conspire to mess up your head.

Band: SUNDAY JUNKIE
Who: Alt pop duo from Worchester, MA
who came together last year.
Track: HOLY, HOLY
Piece from their debut album,
due out sometime later this year.
Tom Martin (vocalist) : “I had issues with drinking in the past, and the lyrics on ‘Holy, Holy’ pretty heavily revolve around using alcohol as a means of self-medicating and ignoring a larger, underlying issue,” Martin adds. “It can be pretty insidious when it seems to provide relief, but the toll it’s taking is more evident to those around you and they just hope you can eventually see it too. The line ‘Honey on our tongues / Sucking on the rind’ is more of a reference to having everything at your fingertips, not realizing it, and choosing to throw it away instead.”
Fiery vocals.
Ablaze emotions.
Expressive electricity.
Amplified pop tune.

the way Kristin Hersh does.

Band: SILK
Who: New project of guitarist/songwriter Michael Smyth
of Irish shoegazers Virgins who released their excellent
debut LP nothing hurt and anything was beautiful last
year.
Track: FAZE
Debut single.
“Its pure shoegaze, molten guitars drenched in dreamy chorus and reverb, all whirring over impossibly dense fuzz, vocals buried in the mix serve as an additional instrument more than the message. Mimicking the minimal lyrics to the song, the sound of Silk
exists in the purgatory state of half awake-half dreaming.”
Lose yourself in this ocean of accumulating
guitars and its hallucinatory resonance.
