After entertaining countless fans in South America OASIS return this weekend,
27 & 28 September, to the UK for 2 more concerts in London at Wembley, Stadium.
Artist: PREWN Who: The moniker of Massachusetts‘ chilling singer-songwriter Izzy Hagerup. She released her debut album Through The Window
in 2023.
Track: SYSTEM
First new piece and title track from her
2nd LP, coming our way on October 3rd.
TUTV: What a brilliant torch song. Feverish tension all the way, drawing you into a mesmerizing trance you want to last like forever. Weeping guitars come and go while Hagerup‘s heart-stopping vocals are immensely soul-stirring and a galvanic guitar solo causes a spine-tingling finale.
Band: KID KAPICHI Who: From 4 to 2 party punk rockers from Hastings, UK.
They have, so far, 3 albums on their résumé, so far, with
last year’s There Goes The Neighbourhood as the most
recent one.
TUTV: Beth said she wanted to make a LOUD record. And she
definitely did. High Resolution Sadness is one hell of a brain-breaking,
industrial sledgehammer example. Hyperkinetic drums, clashing and
crashing percussion and creepy vocals. Bang-on!
Band: WIJF. (WIFE. in English)
Who: Hungry hit team from Belgium,
ready to take on the world.
Track:LIAR
Only their 2nd single, following last
year’s unhinged debut Hysterical.

TUTV: The 4-piece grab you by the throat from the kick-off and never lose their firm grip. Liar is a titanic motherrocker that pulverizes the Richter scale in just 250 seconds. Queens Of The Stone Age would label this jiving juggernaut a ‘song for the deaf‘.
Vociferous vocalist Marie De Graeve is seemingly on an exorcistic trip again.
Her one-of-a-kind vocal cords have a ruthless impact on your petrified stereo.
Helter-skelter. Hail! Hail!
Band: AFI (abbreviation for A Fire Inside) Who: Weathered high-volume veteran rockers from Ukiah, California who started to turn up the sonic heat
in 1991.
Artist: BAMBIE THUG Who: Moniker for Irish screamo diva Cuntry Ray Robinson. A self-described queer,
‘ouija popstar’, who uses the non-binary personal pronouns they and them. She
released her cacophonous debut LP Cathexis in 2023.
“It’s political, it’s anti-war, it’s a ‘rebel cry’ for the LGBTQIA community and for everyone
who is fed up with living in this disconnected world. All I can offer to these turbulent times
is my art and hope it wakes people up.”
Band: SNÕÕPER Who:Nashville‘s kamikaze pop punk combo SNÕÕPER shook the world
2 years ago, with their rapid-fire debut LP Super Snõõper. 14 songs in
22 minutes, like in the good old Ramones days.
Last June, they dropped a 4-track EP, titled Unknown Caller.
Track: GUARD DOG.
New piece from their upcoming, sophomore album,
titled Worldwide. it will see the day of light on Oct 3rd
via Jack White’s Third Man Records.

TUTV: If this supersonic punk missile won’t wake
you up, I don’t know what will. Get up on your pogo
stick and bounce like a ping pong ball.
Track: HEY YOU
New single from their upcoming 2nd LP,
called Again, out on October 31st.
TUTV: A titillating tune that thrives on high-speed guitar riffs, a fast-track
drum beat, sharply-etched vocals and last but not least, a stream of adrenalin.
Artist: VINCE BELLO Who: Oshawa-based indie singer-songwriter rocker Vince Bello shared his newest single “Small Town Princess”, on Friday, August 8th, the title track of his upcoming EP of the same name, releasing in November 2025.
Track: SMALL TOWN PRINCESS
The title track of his upcoming EP,
that will land in November 2025.
A bold new chapter for Bello – one that captures the push and pull
between chasing your dreams and remembering where you came from.
TUTV: This instantly sticking guitar-synth pop earworm puts a smile on your face right away. Its bewitching and delighting flow gets you hooked after one spin. Sonic pearl.
The song distills the previous years’ experience and truly steps into themselves and their sound as a band. The song brings together the band’s vast array of influences pulling from the emo-pop of Paramore to the indie hip sway groove of Two Door Cinema Club to the post-hardcore energy of Movements.
TUTV: Layers of shoegazy guitars, a steadfast beat, intense and
highly impassionate, alternating vocals combine for a captivating
and febrile jam. Wowzers.
Band: SOULWAX Who: Belgian brothers David and Stephen Dewaele‘s outfit for 30 years
now, next to their other projects. They DJed the world around as 2manydjs,
had their own Radio Soulwax, and produced/remixed countless other artists.
A heartfelt tribute to real love, written with
his wife and creative partner, Frances.
TUTV: Winsome love songs like this one are so welcome in these intolerant times,
so we won’t forget there are also great things happening every day when love is
involved. Feet On The Ground has an irresistible funky bass groove and is juiced with
a soulful orchestration.
Add Thomaz‘s warmhearted voice, and the inspiring, sonic
picture is complete. Jaunty tune, frolicsome vibe, feel-good
sentiments.
Band:MY MORNING JACKET Who: Louisville‘s veteran rockers who will celebrate the 20th anniversary of their fourth full-length, called Z on October 4th. The day before, they will release a deluxe anniversary.
Artwork Z
Track: WHERE TO BEGIN
A previously unreleased song from
the anniversary album Z.
TUTV: A ballad that breathes melancholia at its most gripping,
with warm pedal steel play. One of the most heart-and-soul touching reveries
I heard all year long.
Leandra Earl (guitars, keyboards, songwriter) “It’s about the shame I felt coming out later in life and the pressure of trying to live up to ‘Lesbian Of The Year,’ a title given to me by my sweet fans. I feel regret for not knowing myself sooner, but this song is also about the journey of self discovery & sexual identity and accepting that everyone is on their own timeline and we’ll get there when we get there.”
TUTV: This stirring reverie has a 60s romantic retro feel, both
ardent and cathartic, carried by emotive vocals. Gorgeous.
Their massive reunion tour is on its way to America. Yesterday their 3rd LP
(the messed-up one) Be Here Now turned 28 and today, 20 years ago, the
2nd single, titled THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING IDLE from their 6th album Don’t Believe The Truth (the underrated one), came out.
The song was (of course) written, produced, and sung by Noel Gallagher.
Gallagher said later in an interview: “It sounds like songs from two British bands, The Kinks and The La’s. In particular, the guitar playing, as well as the sentiment expressed, is noticeably similar to The Kinks’ “Sunny Afternoon” and “Dead End Street”, while the rhythm is similar to that of “Clean Prophet” by the La’s. He also said that the lyrics are inspired by his own laziness, stating: “Having nothing to do is such a massive job that someone had to write a song about it.”

We the people fight for our existence
We don’t claim to be perfect but we’re free
We dream our dreams alone with no resistance
Fading like the stars we wish to be
You know I didn’t mean what I just said
But my God woke up on the wrong side of his bed
And it just don’t matter now
As little by little we gave you everything you ever dreamed of
Little by little the wheels of your life have slowly fallen off
Little by little you have to give it all in all your life And all the time I just ask myself why you’re really here?
True perfection has to be imperfect
I know that that sounds foolish but it’s true
Day has come, now you’ll have to accept
Life inside your head we give to you
You know I didn’t mean what I just said
But my God woke up on the wrong side of his bed
And it just don’t matter now
As little by little we gave you everything you ever dreamed of
Little by little the wheels of your life have slowly fallen off
Little by little you have to give it all in all your life
And all the time I just ask myself why you’re really here?
As little by little we gave you everything you ever dreamed of
Little by little the wheels of your life have slowly fallen off
Little by little you have to give it all in all your life
And all the time I just ask myself why you’re really here?
OASIS, the talk of the world right now, released their single ROLL WITH IT today 30 years (time flies supersonically) ago,
on 14 August 1995.
It was the 2nd single, following their No.1 hit Some Might Say from
their 2nd, million-selling album, What’s The Story (Morning Glory).
Blur deliberately released their single Country House on the same day.
Prior to the release day, their management started a smart ‘Battle of Britpop‘
campaign. Blur won the contest when they immediately topped the charts,
with Oasis coming in 2nd.
The single artwork features a photograph of the band on the beach at Weston-super-Mare, UK. Many potential locations were examined along the Somerset and Avon coastline. The Mancunians were playing Glastonbury that weekend, so a location within striking distance of the festival site had to be found.
