After more than 30 years rock celebs GARBAGE still operate with their original line-up of vocalist Shirley Manson, bassist Duke Erikson, guitarist Steve Marker and drummer Butch Vig (for those who didn’t know, Vig produced Nirvana‘s bestseller Nevermind).

They’ll unleash a new album, their 8th one, baptized
Let All That We Imagine Be The Light on 30th May.
Pre-order info here.

Manson: “Going into making this record, I was determined to find a more hopeful, uplifting world to immerse myself in. The title of the album, Let All That We Imagine Be the Light, is the perfect descriptor for this new record as a whole. When things feel dark it feels imperative to seek out forces that are light, positive and beautiful in the world. It almost feels like a matter
of life and death. A strategy for survival.”

14 May 2024

Band: THE GLUTS
Who: Self-proclaimed fckng LOUD bstrds

New single: SOYBEANS

New album artwork

About the album: “Like the sound of a single gunshot, straight to the heart”, the record
is balanced between punchy, fast-paced Punk songs and noisy experimentalism, perfectly distilling the strength and energy of their notoriously wild, feedback-blasted live shows. It is a formula that is reminiscent of Hüsker Dü’s more Psychedelic stuff and Fugazi. Over the last few years they’ve toured heavily around Europe, performed shows in South Africa and the USA and appeared at many independent festivals including New Colossus, The Great Escape, Eurosonic and more.”

TUTV: If you put a clamorous vocalist with 4 lungs, a drummer who attacks his cymbals/tom-toms with a revved-up urgency, a bass player who pushes this jagged juggernaut relentlessly with roasting riffs and a guitarist who tortures his 6-strings as
if he just came out of his straitjacket and has no intention whatsoever to get back into them, together you know you can expect a badass bastard of a slam dunk, a razor
blade uppercut, a big punk bang! Wowzers!
