TRACK BY TRACK

Band: ROYAL BLOOD
Who: Celebrated blues rock duo from
Worthing, England who started up in 2011.

Track: TEN OVER TEN
Lead single from their forthcoming 5th full-length,
named Dead Company that will come our way
on November 13th. Pre-order info here.


Album artwork

The duo entered the studio in 2025 with no deadline, no distractions
and a simple ambition: to see what was possible with two people,
12 notes and infinite outcomes”.

“The song strips everything back to its core. Immediate
and uncompromising, it captures Royal Blood at their
most powerful”.

TUTV: Royal Blood by numbers. Rip-roasting riffs, aggressive
drumming and sinewy vocals. Simpe but loudly efficient.

Here we go.

Band: SYNVILLA
Who: Swedish experimental rock collective from Gothenborg.
A multidisciplinary project where music and video art
merge into something both seductive and threatening.

They’ve 2 albums under their belt, so far.

Track: MILKY BREATH
Piece from their upcoming EP, called Grindmother.

TUTV: Fascinating and eerie. Scary and hypnotic. Synvally drag you in their obscure
and mysterious world with a jagged jam. Creepy vocals grab your shocked attention
on the spot while the band throw themselves in psychedelic extravaganza with
breakneck riffage. Advice: best listened to for spine-chilling effect in a dark room.

Far-out.

Artist: THE TALLEST MAN ON EARTH
Who: Popular Swedish songsmith Kristian Mattson
who launched his career 20 years ago.

Track: DELIVER ME FOR TRYING
Newest single from his 8th longplayer,
named Just Beyond Endless Mountain.

Matson: “Somewhere along the way I’d developed this immature aversion to the whole cultural inheritance I grew up with. I’ve read an incredible amount, not just about the music, but about how people actually lived in the old days. I think that’s part of why this record feels more like me than anything I’ve made before. This album really comes from somewhere.”

TUTV: An acoustic, finger-picking country-ish folk
musing, fired-up vocals. Gung-ho piece of music.

Artist: SOUTHPAW GRAMMAR
Who: Singer-songwriter and producer from Derby UK. He delivers
high-energy live performances and a sound that feels both nostalgic
and urgently contemporary. His music speaks directly to the realities
of working-class life while delivering dancefloor-ready grooves.

Track: TROUBLE COMING
New single.

“The song tackles political tribalism, online hostility and economic inequality without descending into slogans or partisan rhetoric. The song reflects on how quickly neighbours become opponents, friends become ideological rivals and public debate collapses into accusations and insults.

Instead of offering easy answers, it asks listeners to step back from the noise and remember the shared humanity that exists beyond headlines, algorithms and social
media timelines.”

TUTV: This UK garage grime piece brings The Streets‘vibrant vibes too mind. Trouble Coming bounces around in your head after a couple of spins. Its groovy flow and chantlike chorus activates swaying body motion.

Southpaw Grammar looks at our collapsing world and, as (almost) all of us, he sees messed-up societies all over the planet where intolerance, bigoted extremism, and narcissistic politics dictate our lives. Suffocating trouble is already here; the only way
to survive is in togetherness.

Artist: KRISTIN HERSH
Who: Prolific singer-songwriter luminary, best
known for her illustrious band Throwing Muses.

Track: 101RUN
New piece from her 12th solo album, titled Sugar On Blackstone.
Out September 18th. Tracklist and details here.

TUTV: Again, Hersh‘s peculiar vocal timbre commands your aural attention.
Sonically, 101run is an electrically driven, capricious yet alluring reflection.

British Blues Rock Duo ROYAL BLOOD Share Riff Monster ‘SUPERMODEL AVALANCHES’

Posted on by JL

Daily electricity to load your batteries

19 December 2023

British two-motor blues rock duo ROYAL BLOOD launched
their 4th LP Back To The Water Below last September.

Along with the release of the physical album came a 7-inch vinyl single with
two bonus tracks. One of them is SUPERMODEL AVALANCHES, which they
now put online, for the whole world to hear, via different streaming platforms.

It’s a raw riff monster with a mammoth finale.
It should have been on the album itself in the
first place.

ROYAL BLOOD – British Blues-Rock Tandem Use Their Successful Formula Again On New Album ‘BACK TO THE WATER BELOW’

British blues rock turbo ROYAL BLOOD have released their new,
4th longplayer, following their first three number-one LPs. It’s titled
BACK TO THE WATER. Order info here.


Album artwork

Ben Thachter: “I think this record was about letting the ideas take us where
they needed to go. If there was a song that was calling us to do something that
wasn’t typically what we’re known for, that’s where we’re going to go. The songs
are in charge and if that means having a record that’s quite varied that’s what
we’re going to go for, rather than trying to shoehorn everything into the same
world.”

Mike Kerr (bassist/vocalist): “We were in the right place at the right time,
and we have to remember to give ourselves the credit that we didn’t get into
this position by winning a quiz show, we put in a serious amount of work. It’s
taken us four albums to realise this isn’t luck, we’re good and we’re committed
to this.”

TUTV: Nothing new under the Royal Blood sun with this new longplayer, except
that the duo show their mellow side a bit more than before (Pull Me Trough / The Firing
Line / There Goes My Cool / Waves). But don’t worry, all you manic headbangers out there, there are still plenty of uppercuts present to go bonkers to.

The tandem shared a couple of tracks off the record so far.
MOUNTAINS AT MIDNIGHT is my favourite. It’s familiar territory,
but it shows loud and clear that the duo’s blood is still red-royal hot.

Wham bam

British Turbo Tandem ROYAL BLOOD Act Like Spoiled Stars At Festival In Scotland

Posted on by JL

30 May 2023


(Press photo)

British blues rock turbo ROYAL BLOOD announced details of their upcoming,
4th album, recently. It’s titled Back To The Water and will hit the streets on
September 8.

At the same time, they launched the first single Mountains At Midnight.

So far so good… but last Sunday ROYAL BLOOD played at the BBC’s Radio 1
Big Weekend Music Festival Camperdown Park in Dundee, Scotland. They played
right in between Niall Horan and Lewis Capaldi but the crowd wasn’t impressed
whatsoever, which made vocalist/bassist Mike Kerr pretty upset calling the audience
‘pathetic‘. I guess that’s what happens when you think you’re a Godlike rock star.

Fuck you Disloyal Blood.
