Band: PRIMAL SCREAM
Album: XTRMNTR
6th one, #3 in the UK.

again rally behind something worthwhile.”

in a band).

Piece from their forthcoming second longplayer, baptized
Never Exhale. It’ll hit the streets on 25 January 2025. Pre-order

TUTV: Taximan does your head in the way we, brainbangers, like it. Bam Bang Boom.
No mercy for the wicked. Maddening mayhem as usual. You better check out if Robert ‘Travis’ De Niro is behind the wheel before taking a cab.
Helter skelter.

Last August former white stripe JACK WHITE (aged 49 now) released
one of the best LPs of the year with powerhouse record NO NAME,
his 6th solo one. A crazed punk blues LP with a total of 13 thunderous
outbursts.
Track: YOU GOT ME SEARCHING
TUTV: I’m quite sure that this song was recorded during the No Name
sessions. Anyway, it’s as if Jimi Hendrix woke up from the dead for a day
to play firework guitar on this blistering blow.

Band: GETDOWN SERVICES
Who: Two flamboyant
weirdos from Bristol, UK.
Track: DOG DRIBBLE
From the duo’s brand new 6-track EP
Your Medal’s In The Post.
TUTV: Dog Dribble operates somewhere between Yard Act and Sleaford Mods.

Band: LAMBRINI GIRLS
Who: A two-motor punk bulldozer from Brighton, UK who have built
a notorious reputation over the past 2 years, on record and on stage.
Track: LOVE
Piece from the duo’s upcoming debut LP
Who Let The Dogs Out. Out next year, on
January 10.
TUTV: Don’t be mistaken, it’s not because the new single is titled ‘Love’
that LB wrote their first-ever song about the birds and the bees. According
to the lambrinis tandem, ‘true love is nothing more than the wrong hill to die on”.
It’s one of their best knockouts so far.
An amazeballs wall-of-flaming-guitar racket
and a manic drummer with 4 arms. Hell yeah.

Band: BILLY ZACH
Who: German act described by singer/guitarist
Max Zacherl as “the sandpaper of pop music”. So
far, they canned/released two albums.
Track: PAINTED NAILS
Single from their notable brand new 5-track EP, called
Interferer (you can stream/buy it below via Bandcamp).
TUTV: Painted Nails is a flabbergasting post-punk tour de force, a jawdropping
psychedelic trip burning its way through a turbulent trip, fired-up by schizophrenic
guitars and bone-chilling vocals. Petrifying thrill.

Artists: SLEAFORD MODS and HOT CHIP.
Track: CAT BURGLAR
The rap-punk poets teamed up with the famous synth-pop band to collect money for help organization WARCHILD. An organization that works with parents, caregivers, community members, NGOs, governments, corporations, and other partners worldwide to ensure that children have access to protection, education, and psychosocial support.
It’s an unlikely collaboration, but it’s pretty cool that they do it together
for charity. They recorded 2 tracks in London’s famed Abbey Road studios.
You can buy both here, via Bandcamp.
One of them is a frisky punk-disco stomper; called CAT BURGLAR

Band: CAMLANN
Who: Intruiging Indonesian
dark disco duo.
Track: RONNY (BURN IN HELL)
The song is deeply rooted in the personal experiences of lead singer Ony Godfrey,
who candidly addresses the sexual harassment she faced as a teenager at the hands
of a middle-aged man named Ronny. Through this powerful narrative, Camlann channels
a raw and unfiltered expression of female rage that resonates with many women who
have endured similar traumas.
TUTV: Expect a knockout headbutt, an in-your-face sucker disco-punk punch.
Hells bells. A blazing blast that goes after all sexual abusers out there. Bullseye.
The message is loud and clear. To hell with all harassing predators. NOW!
“You have played with fire
And the fire’s now burning you alive
So have fun suffering
‘Cause God knows that you will be
Burn in hell forever”

(Brussels, 10 October 2024 – Photo by Turn Up The Volume)
Track: PEACE SONG
TUTV: The band say they have written this energizer, they want to compete
with at the Eurovision Song Contest of 2035. Say what?. The big question, of
course, is ‘will the world still turn in 2035?‘ as devastating wars destroy lives
every single day on half of our planet and the future doesn’t look bright
whatsoever. We can only hope for peace.

Band: CANYONS AND LOCUSTS
Who: Two-piece garage rock act, Justin Keane (vocals, guitar) and Amy Young (drums, backing vocals), from Boston, MA. Fueled by the current chaos of the world and an urgent need to be part of the conversation, the two took the indie rock foundation they built in previous bands and upped the ante by adding new levels of noise via pervasive, edgy guitar sounds, low and thundery drumbeats, and emotional vocals.
Track: ANNA SAVE A LIFE
Rowdy piece the tandem’s forthcoming
2025 concept album, The Goal Gigolo.
TUTV: Another manic motherrocker from this duo who sound as a 4-motor hit-and-run band. As usual, amps way up, and the volume to the max. Riff-o-rama all the way while bashing drums do your head in. Garage punk ‘n’ roll at its turbulent best. Call your own Anna and challenge the anti-decibels police. Sounds like far-out fun, right? You betcha.

Rabbit Hole is an invitation to explore life’s hidden corners, where desire and despair

The Crack And The Light.

Single artwork by Belgian designer Lisa Van de Vyver
with cover images by Swedish photographer Moarlberg.
TUTV: All The Other Kids is a breezy, zippy and riff-juiced
tune that brings notorious songsmith Evan Dando and his
Lemonheads to mind.
Its easy-going melody and feel-good vibe make you want to whistle,
hum, or sing na-na-na along. That’s what pop-ular music is about.

Band: NEVERLESS.AM
Who: Prolific Boston trio who pulls threads from their hard
rock, psych, and funk influences to create a distinctive sound
that blurs a line between shoegaze and dream-punk.
Track: WILL I EVER?
Preview from their forthcoming
debut album, out in February.
It details a horrific personal experience vocalist and guitarist CA Newcomb endured
two years ago, as she relays the story and emotion of being hit as a pedestrian by a
drunk driver, sending her to the hospital and placing her on a long path to recovery.
TUTV: Woozy layers of fuzzy guitars and Alice-in-Wonderland vocals take you on a shoegazing trip to a place where reality and surreality meet. Btw, don’t get petrified
when you hear some freaky growling for a moment.

Artist: BLAIR GILMOUR

Diving into music on a sensory level, the young artist explores the secrets of songwriting, producing and performing, inviting listeners along for the journey.
Track: BURNING UP
The tune was written at a songwriting camp in Spain. Initially inspired by the heat of their environment, the song eventually transformed into a love song, with Blair exploring the question: “How can you love something or someone so much that you know it is bad for you and your mental health, but you’re still in it for the chase?”
TUTV: Swirling pop bliss is what you get, adrenalized amorousness is
what you feel, euphoric elation is what you hear. Touch play and enjoy.

Former Bauhaus voice/face PETER MURPHY (67) and Culture Club‘s voice/face
BOY GEORGE (63) team up for a beauty of an epic reflection. A romantic ballad
titled LET THE FLOWERS GROW with another legend, Killing Joke’s Youth taking
care of the track’s production.
The song was originally written by the Boy George with its initial message being
“one of personal acceptance about being gay. As the song developed, it took on a more expansive and universal scope with its lyrics extending beyond sexuality and embracing
race, gender, creed and religion.”
TUTV: It’s a surprising, but terrificallyt gripping heart-and-soul
collaboration. Starry-eyed magic spreading gold dust.

Band: BARBARISM
Who: 5-piece This Manchester five-piece have been wallowing in the glittery
sludge of late-stage capitalism. They have considered that maybe, just maybe,
we shouldn’t poison the earth and condemn half the population to misery in
order to meet the gurgling whims of several man-babies with yachts.
Track: TIL ZERO
‘Til Zero is a track about the endurance of the human spirit. Born out of years of pain watching as humanity staggers into the 21st century, these words celebrate the tenacity of the joy of life, and try to find some optimism in the face of despair and destitution. The track concludes by embracing the fact that even if the struggle for a better world is utterly fruitless, there is meaning in the attempt.
Amps up, guitars up, energy up. Til Zero is a jacked jackhammer, solid as
a rock, with out-of-control guitars, frenetic vocals, and an insane bass riff.
Bingo!

Who: Captivating pop/rock outfit from Boston with

Track: SONGBIRD
“Songbird,” with its rolling propulsion and timeless charm, is a compass for compassion; it’s a way forward, through the highs and lows of life, softening the twists and turns and highlighting the good while snuffing out the bad. Its sound rings out as timeless as echoes of ‘70s AM radio gold canvas a yearning spectrum that soars through the songs that shaped us before touching down in the modern day.”
An Americana power ballad that bewitches, captivates, and triggers instant daydreaming.
Back in the days, lighters would turn on en masse when this kind of emotions-absorbing gem came out of the giant speakers at a concert.
Feel the passion here.

Band: POINTS
Who: Indie trio from the UK
Track: STEAL TO FEED
Rob Sanderson (vocals/bass) said: “From the moment we wrote the music, images of a getaway scene in a post-apocalyptic world came to mind, like in the films ‘The Book of Eli’ and ‘Mad Max’. With that, the song evolved into a futuristic Robin Hood story. The classic tale of stealing from the rich to give to the poor. It made me think how better off we could all be if we helped each other, and even if things are looking extremely bleak, there’s probably someone out there trying to make a difference in one way or another.”
Interpol-like guitars, non-stop vocal passion, forth and back progression.
Jump on this rough roller coaster and enjoy a high-powered ride.

This track also signals her forthcoming

Aakre: “‘watercolour’ is an ode to friendship. Sometimes you need someone to remind
you of the beauty around you. With the help of friendship, even in difficult moments, you
can find something you want to cherish.”
Dream-pop at its seducing and entertaining best. watercolour moves swiftly and sensually, circling around magnetic guitar lines and propelled by foot-stomping drum drive, while Aarke‘s arresting vocals roll all over it. Top-drawer tune.

PRIMAL SCREAM Launch First Album In 8 Years ‘COME AHEAD’ In November – Hear Funky First Single ‘ LOVE INSURRECTION’ Here
Daily electricity to load your batteries
19 July 2024
Rock-pop legendsPRIMAL SCREAM have great news for their fans (like
me, for years). They canned their 12 full length, their first in 8 years.
They named it COME AHEAD and will share it with the world on November 8.
It’ll contain 11 new tracks, and is set to see songwriter, vocalist and frontman
Bobby Gillespie deliver some of his most personal and emotionally-open work
of his career. Pre-order info here.
Gillespie: “I’m very excited about this album in a way that you would be making your first record. If there was an overall theme to ‘Come Ahead’ it might be one of conflict, whether
inner or outer.There is also a thread of compassion running through the album. The title
is a Glaswegian term. If someone threatens to fight you, you say, ‘Come Ahead!’
It’s redolent of the indomitable spirit of the Glaswegian, and the album itself shares that aggressive attitude and confidence. They have a word for this up there, gallus. ‘Come Ahead’
is quite a cheeky title too. There is a message of hope in the record. But it’s tempered with
an acceptance of the worst side of human nature.”
The artwork to the album was created using a photograph of the frontman’s late father, Robert Gillespie Senior, taken by Turner Prize-nominated artist Jim Lambie. It was chosen as he remains deeply respected for his lifelong commitment to campaigning for social justice, and themes of class run through ‘Come Ahead’
The first single LOVE INSURRECTION is a funky affair, with Freak Le Chic
guitars, lots of Shaft Theme strings and flute, and a groovy chorus.
Go ahead!
