MILES KANE Has His New Upbeat Tunes Filled ‘ONE MAN BAND’ Album Out

Posted on by JL

8 August 2023

British retro-mod rocker MILES KANE, half of The Last Shadow Puppets
(the other half being his great friend and Arctic Monkeys’ maestro Alex Turner)
released his 5th LP, titled ONE MAN BAND.

NME says: “Where he’s inventive and precise in directing his energy, he’s able
to make real uplifting and imaginative indie bops. It’s a shame this album’s not
full of them. The potential is there, but he’s not quite hit it.”

TUTV: As he said himself multiple times Kane loves the swinging 60s/70s pop, rock
and soul splendor. So again, you hear here those flamboyant influences from the past.
He hasn’t the same songwriting quality of his mate Alex Turner but he always comes up with upbeat tunes that stick and put a big smile on your face. The best example is the
splendid single ‘Baggio‘. A song about the former Italian football star

Posted on by JL

Every week 10 new rad tracks added

In order to not miss a beat Turn Up The Volume scans the musical
horizon daily (doing it for years now, actually) to stay in touch with
all new things sonically great and shares the results on a weekly
basis.

Check the 10 new rad cuts just
added to this rad 2023 playlist.

TRACK-BY-TRACK

1. ‘Sedative’ by VIJI (Austrian-Brazilian)

Expect a guitar-pop-infused sedative that actually
speeds up your adrenalin production.

A pure booster.

________________________________________________________________________________________________

2. ‘Rosebud’ by SWAN HILL (UK)

These busy British indies have a new double
A-side single out, ‘Rosebud/Landlines’.

Rosebud is my favorite.

A riff-loaded ripper with a poppy melody edge.


.
________________________________________________________________________________________________

3. ‘Big Trouble’ by BE YOUR OWN PET (US)

New single from their upcoming 5th LP,
titled Mommy. Out on 25 August.

A blustery punch-pop-punk projectile.

________________________________________________________________________________________________

4. ‘Dream Big’ by BOB VYLAN (UK)

British grime-rap-punk duo hit again.

________________________________________________________________________________________________

5. ‘Resolution/Revolution’ by THE LINDA LINDAS (California)

The teenage pop-punks keep on releasing political earworms.


.
________________________________________________________________________________________________

6. ‘One Man Band’ by MILES KANE (UK)

By now the retro rocker has the expertise to make your day with flaming tunes.

.
________________________________________________________________________________________________

7. ‘Saviour’ by SIRACUSE (UK)

The 2nd single of the year by this
guitar-Britpop driven Cheltenham
group.

No, Oasis are not reunited (yet),
but their swagger and electricity
are here to save you.

________________________________________________________________________________________________

8. ‘Sun Kissed Sky’ by FORGE HOUNDS (Ireland)

A punchy hard rockin’ song that is not afraid to shine its veneer with hints
of pop and catchy choruses. Think Cheap Trick meets The Undertones, with a
soaring guitar solo that lifts you up and carries you away to sunnier climes.

Summer fireworks.

.
________________________________________________________________________________________________

9. ‘Coward’ by MARISSA BURWELL (Canada)

“This song began being written mid tearful phone conversation when I realized that I wasn’t being honest with myself. At the time it was just a statement written down but resulted in deep reflection, looking at where my desire to play something safe originated, where it came from to not trust what my body and mind were telling me.”

A smooth, electrifying groove, gripping vocals, and introspective lyrics.

Top!

10. ‘Accepted’ by MADAM SAD (Canada)


Artwork by Maddison Schreiber

Maddison Schreiber, aka Madam Sad is disabled person on ODSP. She had violent acts committed against her regularly. Things such as going without food, being threatened
with homelessness, watching rent rise as my income stays stagnant.

“This song specifically pulls from the idea that there’s a large group of people that are either apathetic or encouraging of extorting others. I feel like this is violent by nature, so to become violent within this system you then become accepted by that system”.

This stirring reverie will touch your heart and soul.

Waking Up With… MILES KANE And His Football Hero ROBERTO ‘BAGGIO’

Posted on by JL

Daily noise that works faster than any stimulant

18 May 2023

British retro-rocker MILES KANE, half of The Last Shadow Puppets (the other
half being his great friend and Arctic Monkeys’ maestro Alex Turner) has his
5th LP, titled ONE MAN BAND out on 4 August.

Following the lead single Troubled Son Kane dropped a second taster.
BAGGIO refers to the former Italian football star Roberto Baggio.

Kane: “I was eight years old when I first saw Baggio on TV, it was during the
1994 World Cup. I was taken back by his presence, his look and his talent. It was
the first time I’d seen a man look so different and unique. Seeing Baggio led me to
e obsessed with that Italian football team for many years later. They made me want
to grow my hair and I think that was the start of getting me obsessed with clothes,
fashion and all things Italian. It was the start of me wanting to grow into who I am
today.

Baggio is one of those typical Kane tunes. Immediately recognisable with its
uplifting 60s/70s beat and infectious melody. But it’s a glorious guitar fragment
and accompanying harmonious, backing vocals that lift the song to a five-star
pop level. Goal!

MILES KANE – Pop And Soul Nostalgia For Lazy Days With His Fourth Album ‘CHANGE THE SHOW’

Posted on by JL

23 January 2022

Artist: MILES KANE
Who: British pop/rock songsmith (35 years old)
Active: Since 2005 / 4 studio LPs (including new one)

New album: CHANGE THE SHOW
Out: 21st January 2022

MILES KANE: “I wrote songs about big highs, big lows, daydreams,
true friends and deep feelings. I learnt to let the future unfold of its
own accord, while staying true to myself and that has led to what
feels to me like a really uplifting album!”

NME‘s verdict: “When Kane rises above that tentativeness, as with
the rousing and charismatic title track, the effect is engaging. But for
the most part, this solid but unchallenging album is a step towards
nowhere in particular.” Full review here. Score: 3/5.

Turn Up The Volume: Back to the pop and soul of 60s/70s. Motown,
early Bowie, a bit of bubblegum, organs and horns, glowing guitars and
playful piano, harmonious backing vocals, a whole lot of nostalgia and
addictive tunes. Kane doesn’t change the show, but he made a lively
retro record for lazy days.

Singles/clips: Nothing’s Ever Gonna Be Good Enough
/ Change The Show / See Ya When I See Ya

New single: NOTHING’S EVER GONNA BE GOOD ENOUGH
Already the third cut he shares from his upcoming longplayer

Kane: “I love the back and forth between us. I wanted an Ike and
Tina vibe, not a gratuitous guest. Unfortunately, we had to record
it remotely, but we’ll perform it on stage together I’m sure.”

Back in the day, this would have been a Tamla Motown hit.
