The Soundtrack For The Coming Apocalypse Party By VELVET KILLS & FRIENDS

Posted on by TUTV!

New sonic impulses…

6 April 2021

Band: VELVET KILLS
Featuring Harris Iveson And Su Eko from Lissabon, Portugal

Who: A modern and urban endeavour, speaking directly to today’s society – with
all its anxieties, addictions, destructiveness as well as exhilaration. You’ll find in their driving beats raw emotion, and a terrific darkness. The sound is complex, almost
abstract – a combination of cinematic textures, gritty guitars, and potent vocals.​

EP: BODHI LABYRINTH RE-IMAGINED

Info: Last year the duo released an impressive 6-track record titled Bodhi Labyrinth
with this key message: “Awakening the labyrinth of our minds to be freed from hate, greed
and ego this album brings us to the reality of our actual society.”. Now Velvet Kills shared a
re-imagined version of the original EP with a choice selection of carefully crafted remixes by some of their friends.

Score: Imagine Sisters Of Mercy going techno on Bitch Face, British DJ Goldie joining the party with a jungle vibe injection of Cash And Move, another mix of Bitch Face doing your head in with doomed bass drones and Noise, a speedy pitch-dark wave banger, making your head spin like Linda Blair in The Exorcist. Get the sonic picture? If this is what will blast out of the devil’s speakers on Doomsday you hope that the Apocalypse party is coming
very soon.

‘SPEAK THE SAME’ By SYNS – A Radiant Light At The End Of The Synth-Pop Tunnel

Posted on by TUTV!

1 April 2021

Artist: SYNS
Who: A Belgium-based solo artist and filmmaker who
build, after his post-punk-bass period, a synthesizer
laboratory. He started an audiovisual project, where
music and filmmaking find each other perfectly well.

Track: SYNS – new single

Score: Syns charms with a tranquilizing electro-pop earworm
where the New Romantics‘ sound of the 80s (Visage, Soft Cell,
ABC), Roxy Music‘s dance side and today’s synth sparks flow
together seamlessly with starry vocals floating all over it.
Enticing and dreamy.

With Syns there’s a radiant light at the end of the synth-pop tunnel
as you can experience right here in an illuminating video clip…

Riot VENUS GRRRLS Power With ‘GOTH GIRL’ Ripper

Posted on by TUTV!

28 March 2021

Band: VENUS GRRRLS – newest single
Who: All girl rock band from Leeds, UK promoting the participation, acknowledgment, and respect of women in the music industry. Aiming to bring fortitude and activism through hard hitting alternative rock music, the quintet use electronic and astrological sounds to amplify their sonic signature.

Track: GOTH GIRL

About: The song “begins painting a picture of two friends hanging out, who eventually
realise their struggles for their choice of clothes and makeup… It made us also thinking
about how fickle society is, and how it’s always ready to point the finger at something new.
Goth Girl clings to all of these notions, and most definitely is an ode to our younger selves.”

Score: This 21st Century Bikini Kill team generates an overwhelming energy that immediately drags you into its furious development. And I’m sure this raging ripper
could trigger early Sioux Sioux memories of the moment she decided to become a
Goth Queen. She inspired and still inspires young girls all around the globe to do
what they wanna do and be who they wanna be.

Venus Grrrls also have that irreversible determination, that don’t -mess-with-me attitude,
that sassy swagger and a phenomenal vocal force to make you hear loud and clear who and what they wanted to be. Riot girl power all the way.

But I wanna be a goth girl,
and I was never popular
I’m satan’s sister on the ground
I wanna be a, I wanna be a,
I wanna be a goth girl

Feel the heat here…

Combative Noise Frustrations – RADIO SILENCE Scores With Debut EP ‘ISOLATION’

Posted on by TUTV!

25 March 2021

Band: RADIO SILENCE
Who: Indie team from Newcastle upon Tyne, UK who
impresses with rambling and energetic psychedelic rock.

EP: ISOLATION – the band’s debut.
About: Exploring themes of modern living, such as alienation
in the face of technology and the pressure imposed by the rapidly
growing debt collection industry.

Score: First things first. The artwork of this EP is drop-dead cool. Now about
the music. These hungry gunslingers combine the angry in-your-face frustration
of early punk (Crank Bugs/Isolation), the I want more curiosity of new-wave (Heads
Will Roll) and the turbulent dynamism of noise rock (Isolation). No rest for the wicked. Blustery guitars all over the place, manic drum hits, and combative Richard Hell vocals. 2021 is the new Orwellian 1984. And Radio Silence don’t like it all.

Alert your closest neighbours
first before you press play…

living room and fight for your right to shake your lockdown demons off.

GRAMMY AWARDS – Corporate Party For The Rich

Posted on by TUTV!

15 March 2021

Yesterday it was (private) party time again for a corporate cast of millionaires awarded
for making-loads-of-money-oriented albums that make record bosses millionaires who
in turn make their stars millionaires with an addictive mass of royalties. This year the
event reflected ever more than before that all involved give no flying fuck about all the indie artists who will just vanish because of the devastating pandemic. The Grammy Awards are what real life is about: the rich get richer, the poor get poorer.

Chaotic Music For Chaotic Minds In Chaotic Times – HANNYA WHITE Does It With Her New EP ‘NO PREVIEW’

Posted on by TUTV!

9 March 2021

Artist: HANNYA WHITE
Who: Musician/modern art painter and video maker,
based in London creating an unusual combination of
the playful and the dystopian.

Work: 3-track EP called NO PREVIEW

Score: 4 love songs for people who want to explore the dark side of their
mind by watching David Lynch movies. I’m sure Hannya White is one of them.
The way she infiltrates your worried thoughts with electro-scapes boggles
your psyche. It’s a perplexing experience. Expect the unexpected.

This is chaotic music by a chaotic artist for chaotic people in these chaotic times.
Exactly what you need before you start thinking that you’re insane. Totally David
Lynch. In the end, it all makes sense.

Open your mind and see what happens…
