Band: KEYSIDE
Who: Fast coming guitar
pop indies from Liverpool.

Track: COCODAMOL
Newest piece, following Lemon And Lime from their
forthcoming, self-titled debut LP. Pre-order info here.

About the LP: “The painstakingly constructed album seeks to replace deep thinking with few thoughts at all. In under three-minutes of dopamine-surging melody the band simply reach for the nearest potion, or person, and revel in the tight corners and roundabouts of nocturnal Gen Z life.”


Album artwork

Dani-Lee Parker (frontman) about Cocodamol: “It explores loose love in party culture. Friends-with-benefits, emotional placeholders, intimacy without permanence. It’s about waking up beside someone and being their painkiller: easing the physical hangover while ignoring the emotional one.”

TUTV: This pithy pop pearl arouses your eardrums from the very outset with a painkilling impact. Britpop anno 2026, obviously inspired by Keyside‘s fellow townspeople, The La’s, the once-upon-a-time entrancing tunesmiths. Cocodamol feels like a fresh, welcome breeze in these heatwave days. Stick to these young Scourcers, there’s magic in the air.

PJ HARVEY Floats In Space With Brand New Starry-Eyed Song ‘VOYAGER’

Posted on by JL

24 June 2026

For nearly 4 decades, 56-year-old PJ HARVEY was/is one of the most intruiging
artists in pop/rock. Her 10 longplayers (so far) are unquestionable proof of that.

She just shared her first new music since
her 2023 LP I Inside The Old Year Dying.

It’s a slow-progressing, illusive, and starry-eyed song
named VOYAGER and will be available on 7″ vinyl.
Pre-order info here.


Single artwork

PJ: “The song had already started life as part of my work towards my new album, so when @profbriancox invited me to write a piece for his new show, I sent him the voice memo of this song to see if it resonated. It immediately made him think of the Voyager craft and the sound
of its signal being sent back to Earth.

I have long been fascinated by the spacecraft and its journey, and asked myself what
it might say to us if it could? This was an inspiring route to take to develop the song.”

To the stars with PJH.

Boston‘s celtic punks DROPKICK MURPHYS cause
sonic havoc and massive sing-alongs since 1996.

They released 13LPs, thus far, over the years and
their gigs are known for being wild fiestas.

On November 13th, a tribute album to the late, incomparable Pogues‘ songsmith
legend and notorious frontman, titled 20th Century Paddy – The Songs Of Shane MacGowan will be released.

It’ll feature a extensive cast of big names such as U2, Primal Scream, Tom Waits,
The Libertines, Steve Earle, Kingfishr, Bob Geldof, Kate Moss, Johnny Depp, Bruce
Springsteen, The Jesus and Mary Chain and a ton more. Full tracklist here.

The album will be available in three physical formats, headlined by
a Limited Edition Deluxe Bookpack. This set includes 3LP, 2CD, and a
60-page book featuring rare memorabilia and liner notes.

Pre-order info here.

One of the guests on the record are, of course, DROPKICK MURPHYS.
They picked The Body Of An American from the Pogues’ masterpiece LP
Rum, Sodomy and The Lash

Rolling Stone says: ‘The Body of an American’ is a masterpiece of contradictions. One of the realest songs ever written about immigration, also one of the best funeral songs, also one of the best drinking songs. But it’s also the realest song about leaving home and laughing it off, when you know in your heart you’ll never return and you’ll never get over the true love you left behind and you’ll never truly have a home again”.

Sing, drink, cry, smile and party.

MAQUINA. – Portuguese Pyschedelic Trio Accelerate Like A High-Speed Comet On ‘DANÇA’

Posted on by JL

18 June 2026


📸 Austėja Ščiavinskaitė

Band: MAQUINA.
Who: Portuguese psych trio. They’re messy, intense, sweaty and a lot of fun.
They get punks to dance and club kids to pogo – “making the bubbles connect
a little bit” – with such fervour they routinely pack out venues.

Track: dança
From their upcoming new album Body Transmission,
out July 10th. Tracklist and pre-order info here.

A track pumped and primed to turn heads and get the blood flowing,
featuring bratty punk vocals from Silvia Konstance and synths from
Viktor L. Crux of Barcelona-based duo Dame Erea.

“‘dança’ explores a moment of introspection: the importance of being with oneself, of making space for an intimate moment, even if through dance. When words fail, the body speaks. “I just want to dance” becomes a statement suspended between inward reflection and the need for release.”

TUTV: This high-speed trio accelerate like a bulldozer with a Formula One engine.
No brakes. No breaks. Dança makes your head spin like Linda Blair‘s did in The Exorcist movie. It’s a psychedelic comet with repetitive, motorik drones, scorching guitars, and eerie howls.

Mad, mad, mad!

PALINDRONES – London’s Dark-EBM-Wave Hypnotize With Whirlwind Single ‘THE BLOOD MOON’

Posted on by JL

16 June 2026

Artists: PALINDRONES
Who: An emotionally immersive, captivating, dark electronic duo from South London.
They take listeners on a shimmering and cathartic sonic journey with dreamy Industrial Synthpop, infused with pounding rhythms, haunting, evocative vocals and esoteric ambiance.

Formed in 2020 by Jamie and Karen, emerged during lockdown. Songwriting was
their way to stay connected whilst living on opposite sides of London. Their name, Palindrones, speaks to the duality at the heart of their artistry—where symmetry, reflection, and contradiction fuel both their music and their creative process.

Track: THE BLOOD MOON

“It’s dark, hypnotic journey through the tides, storms, sin and submission. It’s a tale of
the cycles of destruction, renewal and the ancient currents that flow beneath human experience.

Like the celestial body that gives the song its name, The Blood Moon pulls listeners into
a world where scars become constellations, rivers run red, and every ending delivers the
seed of creation. Immerse yourself in the bloody sea.”

TUTV: The Blood Moon is a dark-EBM-wave whirlwind that creeps under your skin,
into your veins, after a forbidding intro. It’s a sickly sticking tune that spirals and adrenalizes with pithy pzazz.

Macabre alternating/duet vocals emphasize the ill-boding pressure and awaken
bats all around. Palindrones draw you into their sinister and hypnotizing world without asking permission, but they leave the door ajar for a possible rebirth. Trust me, you’ll surrender after one spin.

Band: TRAVO
Who: Portugal-based
psych-rock four-piece.

Track: BURIAL
The lead single from their 4th album, named Wasteland,
out on October 2nd. Tracklist and pre-order info here.


Album artwork

Press info: “‘Wasteland’ is an aggressive, genre-bending rock record knocking
on metal’s door while still managing to breathe through the chaos. It’s an intense headbanging journey between fast, bad-trip-inducing jams and contemplative
ambient passages.

New single ‘Burial’ opens the album and sets the tone for the rest of the journey. With dark, anxiety-inducing riffs, hypnotic vocals, insane guitar solos, and a fast-paced rhythm section, the song delivers 4 minutes and 41 seconds of pure suffocation, culminating in a catchy guitar lead that will stay stuck in your head for days.”

TUTV: Blimey. All hence on deck. Travo storm at 100 miles per hour through a thunder
and lightning kamikaze haymaker. Like a Formula One race car out of control, like a derailed comet.

Crazed guitar assault alarmingly, the octopus drummer batters as if his life depends
on it, while sinewy vocals add extra fervour. Brace yourself for a nuclear turbocharger,
for a ballistic blast.

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.
