5 June 2026

Renowed blues addict SEASICK STEVE (born Steven Gene Leach 75 years ago in Oakland, California) will release his 14th LP, baptized The Last Season Of America on September 18.

Press info: “In 2024, Steve and his wife Elisabeth took a road trip across America where
he witnessed the poverty and divisiveness in the context of the upcoming election.

They were in a New Orleans club where a house band leader welcomed two
Belgian musicians on stage by saying “welcome to the last season of America”.

It led to a deeply personal, heartfelt reflection on the state of
his home nation with a new protest record in the truest sense.”

So far, the man shared 3 tasters, with BAD THINGS
as the one I can’t stop listening and cheering to.

Here’s a semi-live version (studio verion + some enthousiastic fans in the room).
Steve raps like the best on this irristible hip-hop stomper that wipes the floor
with that American idiot in the White House.

Shake your booty, folks, to the funky beats.

Posted on by JL

Long time not heard, actually since 2022, with their 3rd LP Most Normal, but here they are back in noiz town. Raw Irish post-punk chainsaws GILLA BAND just dropped a new razorblade-cutting track, called GIRAFFE.

It will be out on a picture disc single via
Rough Trade from tomorrow, May 29th on.
Pre-order here.

Dara Kiely (frontman): “In this track, the first few sections represent what my general headspace is like. It can be a very scattered and sometimes lonely place. Feeling unloved
and finding it difficult to articulate what I’m actually thinking.

The outro on the other hand indirectly details a kind of confirmation that affection towards me does exist. While I appreciate it, I still find that hard to believe. That amount of love is difficult for me to accept but it is a beautiful thing to have in life.”

”

TUTV: Bone-chilling, zigzagging, high-voltage guitar/bass
electromagneticism, pushed as usual by frontman Kiely‘s
droning, nigthmarish vocality.

Sick shit.

Hip-rap-hop zealots Beastie Boys entered the scene with their
soon-to-be 40-year-old (15 Nov 1986) debut LP Licensed To III
featuring their pyrotechnic chant Fight For Your Right.

In 2012, the band abruptly finished their journey following
the untimely death of co-vocalist and bassist Adam MCA Yauch
due to cancer.

As previously reported, now 14 years later, co-vocalist/songwriter
MIKE D (né Michael Louis Diamond, 60 years ago in NYC) returns solo.

A couple of weeks ago, we got his dazzling debut single Switch Up
and here is a 2nd jiving jumper with WHAT WE GOT.

Mike D on a rappin’ roll again.
Do not sabotage him.

WESTSIDE COWBOY – Fast Rising British Indies Drop Speedy Guitar-Riffin’ Ripper ‘KICK STONES (THE BOYS)’ From Upcoming Debut LP

Promo picture

Band: WESTSIDE COWBOY
Who: Fast up-and-coming indies
from Manchester, UK.

Paste Magazine says: “They call what they do “Britainicana”, not quite a genre so much as a self-defense mechanism, a way of admitting they’re raised on American mythologies while still stuck in Northern England. Sonically, that mindset comes through as American roots shapes shoved through a British DIY garage-rock body: folk harmony and country phrasing jostling up against slacker guitars and punk velocity, like someone trying to sing a lullaby while sprinting.”

They turned all eyes and ears on their spellbinding post-Brexshit-punk disturbance with
2 EPs, This Better Be Something Great (2025) and So Much Country ‘Till We Get There (January 2026), both together worth an ace album.

And now the attention-absorbing juveniles
just announced details of their debut album.


Album artwork

It’s titled It Goes On and will hit the streets on
August 21st. Tracklist here. Pre-order info here.

Along with the news comes the first single, titled KICK STONES (THE BOYS).

A jittery, hypnotic, speedy guitar-riffin’ roller coaster ripper, spirited with Geese-resonating
duet vocals. All freshly galvanic and strangely thrilling. They’re gonna be big. Pretty soon.

TRIPLE LUTZ – Portland Punks Rant And Rave On Maddening Motherrocker ‘DON’T WAKE DADDY’

Posted on by JL

20 May 2026

Band: TRIPLE LUTZ
Who: Portland, Oregon’s one and only skater Tonya Harding-core band, since 2017. Half queer, half femme, and half bald. Full of frenzied energy and anthemic fury, these rippers never fail to deliver a hot-blooded and impassioned performance, leaving first-timers both enthralled and invested.

Track: DON’T WAKE DADDY

“The track captures the feeling of sneaking through chaos while trying to keep everything from falling apart. A pulsing swamp stomp that delivers a scathing sermon, a foreboding prophecy for religious hypocrites on their judgment day.”

TUTV: Hurry, get in the car and join Triple Lutz to hunt religious hypocrites. Expect
a razor-blade ride, knife between the teeth, with all punk cylinders and punk burners
on. No mercy, no way back. There’s a riot going on, folks, inflamed with this maddening
spit and sneer motherrocker. No rest for the wicked. Hallelujah.

PANIC SHACK – Welsh Punkettes Turbo Storm Through New Cannonball ‘GRIN & BEAR IT’

Band: PANIC SHACK
Who: 4 power-pop punkettes from Wales who released
their super-duper self-titled debut LP last year.

Track: GRIN & BEAR IT
No news, thus far, of a 2nd album.

On this new piece, the afire quartet resent day-to-day life and everything that comes with it. Every shift feels the same; it’s impossible to escape, and it all feels so heavy when the world is crumbling around you.

TUTV: Hupsakee. Here we go. Panic Shack attack once again. Probably their most hotheaded ebullition to date. Ravaging riffage in all corners. Havocking and pulverising, with Sarah Harvey‘s half-rapping, half-yelling vocals, adding fuel to the fire. If this storming cannonball is a harbinger for their 2nd LP, we’d better fasten our seatbelts.

13 May 2026

Band: BUSTIÉ
Who: A dark electro project based in NYC, formed by primary artist Angelika Padilla,
aka Pogo Pope. Heavily influenced by ‘80s freestyle/electro, UK punk, and Janet Jackson’s “Rhythm Nation 1814, Bustié crafts socio-political conscious dance music that they coin “Anarcho Body Music.”

With lyrical content touching on issues such as LGBTQ+ Rights, transgender empowerment and livelihood, and the freedoms of BIPOC, transgender artist Angelika Padilla calls forth action and attention to these subjects in her songs.

Track: PERIMETERS OF LOVE
New piece from their upcoming 2nd album. It’s named Throb (a nod to Janet Jackson’s sweltering dance track Throb) and will land on May 22nd. Tracklist/pre-order info here.

TUTV: Theatrical electro waves for addicted nightclubbers. Dark-synth-wave flashes,
bassy booms and darkling Depeche Mode echoes for acid house aficionados.

Perimeters Of Love, juiced with longing vocals, has the magnetism to attract eager
bodies to shadowy dancefloors in underground discos where hunted minorities can unleash their demons. Techno-tastic.

LYRICS

Sing to me your lewd desires,
Untamed, and so crude
A flame that burns so bright,
Howling in the moon
Surrender under these vows,
To unite as one with me
And If, the sun goes out,
I’ll be, light you need

If you die right now,
My soul you will own
Our lips hold us tight,
Till we’re reborn
We will meet again, another day
Our Love to bloom will never end

TAXI GIRLS – Raucous Canadian Punkettes Kablooey On Their New Cannoball Single ‘SAY IT!’

Posted on by JL

Daily electricity to load your batteries

11 May 2026

Band: TAXI GIRLS
Who: Outspoken Canadian punk
daredevils from Montreal.

Track: SAY IT!
Lead single from their upcoming debut full-length
named Static. Tracklist and pre-order info here.

TG about the album: ““This record is very real and very raw, exploring themes of love, loss, struggles with mental health, postpartum depression, and being caught in endless loops of nostalgia. The light at the end of the tunnel is stepping into your power, owning it, feeling it
and truly understanding what that means deep down.”

TUTV: As basic as 70s punkettes The Runaways, as punk as 80s rock she-devils L7,
as screamy as 90s riotious girls Bikini Kill, that’s Taxi Girls, folks. No nonsense, with
a knife behind the teeth, they’re on attack mode from the kick-off.

They say, yell, and shout it like they mean it, while raucous riffs fly around and an unwavering drums/bass engine propels this cannonball mercilessly. Hells bells!
