TRACK-BY-TRACK

1.’Shame’ by LNC (Nottingham, UK)


📸 Joe Walchester Photography

British band formed in Nottingham in 2016, based upon
a childhood dream and driving ambition to write music
from four school mates

These British gunslingers’ new single is a track inspired by how it feels to be
young and in a constant losing battle to survive in such a competitive world.

Frontman Josh Price roars all over this striking stroke. Shame is a wham bloody wham bam punk fireball. His voice resembles Artcic Monkey’s Alex Turner voice a bit, not his present crooner’s one, but rather his young angry man’s one. LNC is another post-Brexshit band (think Bar Italia, Deadletter, Lmabrini Girls, Ditz, Silverbacks, and several more) that produces turbulent turmoil in these tumultuos times, that reflects their worried state of mind caused by today’s merciless rat race.

3. ‘The King’ by SAFARI ROOM (Nashville, TN)

Safari Room is the indie rock outfit and brainchild of
Alec Koukol
. Omaha-native, now a Nashville-local.

A new album is canned and named ‘Time Devours All Things’.
It lands next year, on February 23rd.


Album artwork

Newest single The King is an ongoing-charged groover driven by a mindbending non-stop bass riff that clashes now and then with a frantic guitar but never backs down. Koukol‘s storytelling vocals complete the stellar sonic picture.

Tune in.

4. ‘Beside Myself’ by THE 76 CLUB (UK)

Formed in 2022, in Burton-Upon-Trent, England The 76 Club are a 5 -piece alternative rock outfit. Combining ethereal guitar tones with punchy, bass ridden choruses, the group are certainly not afraid to demonstrate their various individual influences.

‘Beside Myself’ is all about the uncertainty that comes with breaking up with someone
and the rollercoaster of emotions, wondering if it was the right decision. The lyrics capture
the vulnerability and the longing for closure. It’s a relatable and heartfelt song that
many people can connect with.

Beside Myself is only their second piece. It’s a fiery cry out whit the guitar and bass
amps turned up and the band’s front Amazon adds vocal fervency, especially
on the flustered chorus. Bingo! Btw, is that Debbie Harry on the single’s artwork?

Go.

5. ‘West End Girls’ by SLEAFORD MODS (Nottingham, UK)

The mods will have a new limited-edition 7″ single out next month – pre-order info here – with all profits going to Shelter, an organization that helps people with housing issues and homelessness.

For the occasion they covered Pet Shop Boys‘s
gigantic hit West End Girls (more than 245 million
streams on Spotify).

Enjoy.

6. ‘Brambles’ by FRANK CARTER & THE RATTLESNAKES (UK)

Frank Carter about this second new shared track: “Brambles is a melancholic bop born
from the bramble thorns of love we let grow around us until we are tangled with no method
of escaping unscathed.”

Again we hear the romantic side of Carter, delivered
with avid heart-and-soul passion. Impressive.

Play.

7.’Globe’ by IRINA IMME (London, UK)

This London-based songstress wrote, in her short musical journey so far, already
250+ songs. Wow, The Beatles fabricated only 1988 tunes in their 10-year career.

Globe is a standout track from her versatile new 6-track EP Blue Forever. Her third. The song is a haunting tale of a lost soul navigating the ups and downs of life. It’s a heartfelt mood swing piece, going forth and back with Imme‘s emotive voice shining in the middle.

Top!

8. ‘Feel Me’
by GIRL WITH A HAWK (Boston, MA)

Girl with Hawk is an American rock band formed
in 2021 and led by musician Linda S. Viens.

The song is dedicated to Justine Covault, the founder of
Boston‘s Red On Red Records who passed away last summer.

Viens: “I can’t say that we have closure yet; as it has only been six months since we lost Justine, but I would say that the way the song seems to embody our heartache, and at the same time confirm that our relationship is still a living them, whether you believe that or not, does bring some comfort.”

Music, as we know, has a healing power. Hopefully, the electrifying guitar energy at work here and Viens‘ poignant vocals can have that healing impact on everybody involved, family and friends, in this tragedy.

9. ‘Lovers‘ by PILLS FOR TOMORROW (Grenoble, France)

This fresh French band cites shoegaze and neo-psychedelica and
related bands such as BJM, My Bloody Valenne, Mogwai and Spacemen 3
as influences.

Lovers is one of the two cuts on their debut EP, titled Castle Rock.

It’s a dreamy and smoothly progressing jam that grows slowly but surely in
intensity and anxiety along its exhilarative path caused by inflamed guitars
going while singer Nathalie Valion‘s vocals float all over it.

Check in.

10. ‘Roadrunner Vs. Your Mother by THE MAGIC CITY (Boston, MA)

The Magic City is a new Boston-based rock band.

Roadrunner Vs. Your Mother is a provocative debut offering,
with roots that stretch from Britpop to post-punk to glam to
classic alternative.

It’s an amplified, melancholic-sounding reverie that triggers your daydreaming moments.
Its astounding guitar-infused and vivid vocals/harmonies coloured chorus takes the song to a zippy level. Splendid debut!

SAFARI ROOM On A Cathartic Trip With New Captivating Single ‘BROKEN THINGS’

Daily electricity to load your batteries

12 September 2023

Artist: SAFARI ROOM
Who: The indie rock outfit and brainchild of
Alec Koukol
. Omaha-native, now a Nashville-local.

New single: BROKEN THINGS
3rd shared piece (stream all 3 below)
from his upcoming 3rd album.

“Quite plainly, “Broken Things” is about the declination of a relationship.
The song is an amalgamation of relationships songwriter, Koukol, had crumble
over the last few years. All painful and confusing, tricky and emotional. Too often
we’re told to stuff our feelings down and compartmentalize, but this song is a
catharsis and outburst of emotions kept in for too long. It’s a whole journey of
self-discovery through loss of a relationship, confined in one tune.”

TUTV: Broken Things is a cathartic post-break up song. A guitar-riff-energizing
musing about painful days gone by. Its vigorous groove, its sticky melodiousness,
Koukol‘s in-depth and intensive vocality, and its haunting finale combine for a
feverish exploit. Think The War On Drugs on a captivating sonic trip.

Somebody should do research about the number of songs in history that dealt with
heart-and-soul break and love sickness. My guess is about 70% of what’s ever put to
music. There’s a reason for, of course. Music had, has and always will have a healing
force, that can work for both author and listener. Enter Safari Room.

Tune in.
