Press info: The fifth album from Newcastle’s riff wizards is defined by calculated aggression and self-lacerating lyrics. Its startling bonuses include playful synth work
and the appearance of giant hip-hop star Ei-D with its title juxtaposing absurdity and seriousness, this is Death Hilarious.”
New Noise Magazine: “The variety in the styles and sounds is the real strength of Death Hilarious. Their blending of genres and timbres is masterful and really deserves some props. The trip through various sounds truly peaks with the single “Glib Tounged.”
TUTV: Pigs x 7 sound like a bulldozing battalion rolling all over your speakers.
Tons of hefty horsepower, heated exuberance, and merciless beatings keep
your whole neighborhood awake. They’re a non-stop vomiting volcano.
In order to not miss a beat TURN UP THE VOLUME scans the musical
horizon daily, for 10 years now, to pick ace tracks and add 5 new ones
twice per week, to the one and only JUKEBOX playlist that matters.
ALL TOGETHER
.
The 5 fresh ones TRACK BY TRACK
Artist: JODIE LANGFORD Who: Ripping wordsmith from
the Hull/East Yorkshire area.
TUTV: Exuberant and outspoken EBM-rap-punkette screams through
your phone in your face. Direct and without a screen. Outspoken as ever,
she rattles without breaks, without brakes, and has a very loud and very
clear message: put it down!
Artist: VLIMMER Who: The moniker of German
dark-Goth-wave artist based
in Berlin.
Track: FIRMAMENT
Piece from his new, notable 6-track EP Diskomfort. You can stream/buy it here.
TUTV: No writer’s block for Vlimmer. His creative production the past few years is quite impressive. And with his excellent new-dark-wavish EP he expands his catalog once again.
Opener Firmament is my favorite. It’s a shoegazy musing causing instant daydreaming. Shiny synths, a non-stop solid drum beat, and hazy vocals combine for an illusory,
melodic trip.
Artist: NIGHTBEATS Who: The moniker of American musician Danny Lee Blackwell.
He has spent the last fifteen years exploring a nexus of vintage
rhythm & blues, after-midnight soul, and sun-scorched psychedelia.
TUTV: This new piece resonates like a bizarre hallucination, somewhere between reality and surreality. I have no idea what’s behind the green door, but the way to get there is a far-out psychedelic experience.
Band: FRONT PAGE NEWS Who: Group formed in Leeds (UK) by three schoolmates and a ‘drummer wanted’ poster on a lamppost. They turn rough-and-tumble, high-energy sound–injecting indie rhythms into punk sensibilities and subjects.
TUTV: Imagine The Fall fronted by Iggy Stooge. These cocky hound-dogs know all you need to know about indie (post)punk history to get up, stand up and form a band with an eager mission to kick ass. Great news, music junkies. Don’t stop listening.
Here’s their first new music of 2024. A monstrous slo-mo sledgehammer
named DETROIT. It comes with the news that they’ll tour the UK and Europe
next year.
Matt Baty (singer): “The song reflects on the worst manifestations of male jealousy
and resentment, and the ways in which a lack of accountability can lead to deflecting responsibility in exchange for blaming external forces like fate or God for perceived
injustice.”
Five new firecrackers to bang-up your favorite 48 hours…
‘Wonderful Hell’ by WAR ON WOMEN
Two years after their smashing LP Capture The Flag the Baltimore hardcore fanatics announced a new longplayer, out next month. Lead-single ‘Wonderful Hell’ is a metallic bang-up cry out for a better world. Stop the fascist creeeeep, let’s raise some hell is the muscled message. Time to act before the monster gets YOU!
‘Psychopath’s Monologue’ by THE CHRONICLES OF MANIMAL AND SAMARA
This is what happens when Mr Hyde turns up at midnight at your bed and scares
the shit out of you with some creepy stories while he dances around your bedroom
like a deranged maniac to this industrialized techno outburst.
. ‘Mirror’ by HEY COLOSSUSfeat. MARK LANEGAN (UK/US)
This collaborative song is a pitch-black slow moving serpent. Creepy, ominous
and enigmatic. A fitting piece for the twilight hours and for Lanegan‘s devilish voice.
New album Dances/Curses out 20 November. All info here.
‘Hell’s Teeth’ by PIGS PIGS PIGS PIGS PIGS PIGS PIGS (Newcastle, UK)
Newcastle’s pig punch punks dropped an animated video clip for their newest
smack from their third album Viscerals. Expect a paranoid Black Sabbath drone.
‘Berlin’ by A CERTAIN RATIO (Manchester, UK)
Another electronic stomper from Manchester’s funky post-punk heroes’ upcoming
LP ACR LOCO, their first in twelve years. It features the wonderful voice of Denise
Johnson who sadly passed away last July.
Newcastle’s fierce trash punks PIGS PIGS PIGS PIGS PIGS PIGS PIGS release their
new, third album ‘VISCERALS’ on 3 April via Rocket Recordings. Last January we
got the monstrous lead single ‘Reducer’.And today the band unleashed another
crushing cut.
‘RUBBERNECKER’ is a slow-moving killer slam with the scary and bombastic
resonance of metal legends Black Sabbath. Intimidating, dark and in your face.
