Ahead of its release, the band have shared 3 tasters/singles. They produce a peppy
mix of Britpop swagger (The Charlatans, The Stone Roses), shoegaze (Swirlies, Drop Nineteens, Catherine Wheel) and slacker rock (Dinosaur Jr, Sebadoh). Actually all you need to start
a 24-hour rave party.
In order to not miss a beat Turn Up The Volume scans the musical
horizon daily (doing it for years now, actually) to stay in touch with
all new things sonically great and shares the results on a weekly
basis.

Band: CARDINALS Who: Indie rock 4-piece
from York, Ireland.
Euan Manning (frontman) “To me, it’s a song about reflection, looking
at what went wrong but also at what went right. The worst and the best.
Its climax crowns love as an overwhelmingly positive force, whichever type
of love that may be. It’s a change of pace for us and definitely feels like
a bridging moment for what’s to come next.”
Guitar pop at its uplifting best.
A tantalizing, play on repeat tune.
Is that an accordion I hear midway?
Totally cool.
Band: SURRENDER THE GHOST
Who: Guitar-layered team from Columbus, Ohio.
With a focus on good hangs and brotherhood, creating
music has simply become a byproduct of everything has
built through friendship and love.
Track: WE DON’T DO PITY
Cut from their debut EP Don’t Mind Me for which
a brand new video (watch below) is online now.
Expect about a hundred shoegaze-layered
guitars speeding from start to finish,
grabbing your aural attention from the get-go.
Energetic vocals complete the sonic picture.
Artist: KIT ORION Who: Musical project of Cambridge songwriter,
producer, and DJ Caitlyn O’Brien.
Track: DEEP BLUE
From her debut LP Bottle Grin,
out on October 24.
Album artwork
Deep Blue is an evocative eletro-pop tune swinging
forth and back, with O’Brien’s seducing and crystalline
voice absorbing attention all the way trough.
Band: SCHØØL Who: Self-declared rock shoegazers
from France, who got together last year.
Debut single: N.S.M.L.Y.D(Nothing Satisfies Me Like You Do)
Artwork single
TUTV: The song is about being a fan of an idol. I guess these French youngsters are big fans of the 90s Britpop era as they groove with the same confident flair and sassy swagger of the early demo days of rock champs Oasis and The Verve.
N.S.M.L.Y.D has a slow moving flow with a magnetizing effect, a synth riff that dances in your head, and laid back vocals to match the song’s cool slo-mo vibe. Bring on some more stuff, France.
