JUKEBOX 2026 – WEEK 4 – Five New Rad Tracks Added Twice A Week

Posted on by JL

Probably the only playlist that matters

Another year, another Jukebox to fill with new
tracks, 5 twice a week, for your aural pleasure.

This is the 6th batch of 5 new rad ones of 2026.

ALL TOGETHER

TRACK BY TRACK

Band: MAVERIX
Who: Three noiseninks from Milan, Italy. They
released their debut album Cowpunk! in 2023.

Track: MAVERIX RADIO

Press info: With the track, MaveriX tune into a world of fake smiles, static scenes, and plastic poses—and answer with a raw, high‑voltage anthem built for sweat‑drenched nights and unfiltered rebellion.

TUTV: Sounds like if psychobilly Dick Dale is on guitar, like if this striking stroke
gets electrocuted when the sing-along chorus kicks in. Add a fiery finale and we
know we have a riff-roasting winner.

Blazing hot.

Band: DOLL SPIRIT VESSEL
Who: Guitar-motorized indies
from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Track: KISSING MY CUP New piece from their upcoming,
2nd full-length, titled Bow, and out on March 3rd.

TUTV: Psychotic guitars intertwin with singer Kati Malison‘s
pyretic vocals, balancing between guitar pop and unfiltered
post-punk.

Turbulent tune.

Artist: MARC VALENTINE
Who: Seasoned rocker from New York
with 2 albums on his résumé.

Track: NY UAP
New single taken from the forthcoming
album Uncommon Side Effects.

Valentine: “‘NY UAP’ is basically an allegory for life on the road. The inspiration for the song came while touring the US east coast, which happened to coincide with the infamous New Jersey UAP (unidentified aerial phenomena) sightings. I was wondering if they had an equivalent to rock’n’roll in their existence… and maybe they were on the ultimate inter-dimensional tour.”

TUTV: Don’t hesitate a second to jump on Valentine‘s new buzzy speed-train,
motorized by about 100 guitars generating about 100 riffs, or you’ll miss the
ride. Rawk ‘n’ roll in manic motion.

Good gracious.

Band: DEREK SMITH & THE COSMIC VULTURES
Who: Captivating pop/rock outfit from Boston with
5 LPs under their belt. Check them out on Spotify
right here

Track: HOLLOW CHOIR
This is Smith‘s 80th song
release over the past eight years.

Smith: “This song sums up the feelings I have had towards my music career for the last few years. I am always being told what I should do or what I should write. The voices have turned into an empty choir for me, or a ‘Hollow Choir’, if you will. The most important thing I have discovered is that I have to be me.”

TUTV: Smith drags you into his delirious universe. Hollow Chair has
a 60s psychedelic vibe, and Mark Knopfler’s guitar echoes add some
sparkling scintillation.

Feverish.

ARCTIC MONKEYS
Track: OPENING NIGHT

Their first new music since 2022 album The Car. Written and recorded for the upcoming Warchild benefit album ‘Help (2)’, featuring several other artists. It comes out on March 6th.

TUTV: Another smooth musing that easily could have been on that Car LP, with its tranquil groove and Turner‘s crooner vocals. Looks, again, as if the Monkeys are tired of rockin’ out.

JUKEBOX 2025 – Week 46 Five New Rad Tracks Added Twice A Week

Posted on by JL

In order to not miss a beat TURN UP THE VOLUME scans the musical
horizon daily, for 10 years now, to pick ace tracks and add 5 new ones
twice per week, to the one and only JUKEBOX playlist that matters.

ALL TOGETHER

TRACK BY TRACK

Band: ALPINE SKIES
Who: Irish guitar-synth-pop duo who got together in
2019 with a shared love of 80s synth-driven post-punk.

Track: BLOCKKS
3rd single of the year.

“Even though clarity and purpose provide an enlightenment in life, societal structures that govern will always serve to hinder from complete utopia; ‘and you’ll be denied’. The song’s
main theme centres on that feeling of being at odds with the modern world, while seeking
to find justice, clarity and purpose. Abandoning any hyper-consumerism nature of the world,
for a more valuable people and relationships focused happiness”.

TUTV: Blockks grows and grows in enlivening intensity along its frisky course. Think U2’s rhapsodic eagerness. And is that The Edge on guitar? This is pure pop delight. The repeat button was invented for vivifying tunes like this. Magnifico. Unlike Bono you may find what you are looking for.

Band: LONELY LITTLE KITSCH
Who: Two-piece alt-rock band from Niagara, Canada featuring vocalist Kristen Goetz
and guitarist Nolan Jodes. They create their own brand of alternative music that wasn’t defined by current trends or labels. The result is 100% unabashed, authentic LLK,
no trying to fit into a specific genre or sound.

Track: PUNCTURE WOUNDS

Goetz: “It’s a song about dissociating, and wanting to feel numb. When something
is too painful or your emotions are overwhelming, you’d rather just shut down and
feel nothing at all.”

TUTV: No time to relax here. Glowing shoegazy guitar waves hit your stereo from
the kick-off and never lose their galvanic grip on your aural attention. At the core
of this sonic whirlwind, there’s a poppy melody finding its own way, with the help
of Goetz‘s psyched vocals, in the sky-reaching wall of sound. Buzzing crackerjack.

Band: MUCKSAVAGE
Who: A manic, melancholy collective from Belfast, Northern Ireland,
spewing out bedroom-bop rock anthems that make you want to
dance and cry since 2022.

Track: LETDOWN

James Foy (frontman): “It’s about Regret of past actions, past relationships,
your past-self and the time you’ve lost, and also regret for a future you could
have had.”

TUTV: Ecstatic guitars dominate this rollicking-riff rollercoaster from start to
finish. Echoes of adrenaline rockers such as Sum 41 and Good Charlotte jump
to mind. Letdown doesn’t let you down whatsoever. Its afire dynamism will
boost your day. Jeepers.

Band: REDUCTION IN FORCE
Who: The musical project of San Diego based singer-songwriter Mike Mills.
Rooted in the groundbreaking post-punk and New Wave movements of the
early ’80s, RiF blends anthemic alt-rock with synth-driven urgency and a
post-punk guitar edge.


Track: WORLD FULL OF ECHOES

Mills: “Humans must be at the center of artistic expression or there is no art. Full stop.
This IS the crux of art. The belief that there is a demand for fictitious replacements to expound upon the human condition is consistent with ‘optimization above all’ thinking. It’s more than misguided, it fails to understand that human emotion is the product.”

TUTV: The bombastic Gothwavish power of Bauhaus icon Peter Murphy‘s solo work instantly comes to mind. Its similar blood-and-thunder explosiveness and resistless
pizzazz at work here will dumbfound you.

Band: MAVERIX
Who: Insane punk trio
from Italy.

They have released their debut
album Cowpunk! in 2023.

Track: I HATE YOU ALL

It’s a raw and ironic outburst
against conformity and social
façades.

TUTV: If you want to catch up with this head-twisting barnstormer, you’ll need
a pair of rollerskates. This mind-crushing sucker-punch shows no mercy. Think
Blink-182 and Offspring jumping at each other’s throats with all the fast and
furious forcefulness they’re famous for. Hallelujah!
