TRACK BY TRACK
Band: THE FLESHTONES
Who: Garage rock veterans from Queens, NY.
They released a huge number of LPs, studio
and live ones.
Track: FLOAT YOUR SHOWBOAT
Peter Zaremba (frontman): “It’s about ‘wet-blankets’ in situations
where people should be enjoying life. Basically a positive message
behind the snarky tone. Have some fun. And Goa was great.”
TUTV: Expect a sassy slice of heavy-duty knock-out rock ‘n’ garage roll.
These vivid vets still know all the revved-up tricks to set your speakers
on fire. Absobloodylutely!
Hit the play button, folks.

Band: VOID QUEEN
Who: New punk rock
newcomers from Berlin.
Track: POWER SIP
“The song dives deep into the silent desperation of searching for meaning in a life that feels painfully empty. Suspended between illusion and reality, the track captures the urge to transform the ordinary into something extraordinary, even at the cost of losing yourself in the process.”
TUTV: Void Queen don’t waste time. From the blastoff, guitars push the decibels way up,
the drummer’s arms/hands get activated, and the vocalist throws some fervent fervidness in the mix. It all leads to a banging punk ‘n’ roll belter you can get out of your mind to. Oh my, oh my. What a powerstroke. Bang-on.
Press play.
Go nuts.

Band: SOMETHING SNEAKY
Who: Seasoned rock indies from
Boston with 2 albums under their belt.
Track: STEVIE’S HERE
Opener of their cooking 5-track EP Old Notes. Stream/buy it here.
TUTV: Stevie Nicks? Whatever. This Boston hit team strikes again with a riff-flaming
powerhouse uppercut with vitriolic guitars all over the place. Add walloping drums
and barbed vocals, and you’ll go frantically crackers. Helter skelter.
Get heated.

Artist: BEN CUTLER
Who: Singer-songwriter
from Belfast, Ireland.
Track: ORDINARY WOMAN
The song tells a story of two outsiders with completely different upbringings
who crossed paths and could only find a sense of normality in each other’s
company.
Cutler: “This is the start of a new beginning for me, with day to day life becoming
more and more demanding music becomes more and more of an escape from it.
It felt like the perfect song to return to the process of releasing solo music again.
It’s true to myself and most importantly recorded for my own sense of enjoyment,
not to please everyone because that’s impossible.”
TUV: The fullhearted combination of high-octane vocals, galvanizing guitar play, and an overall mounting orchestration turn this mighty piece into a high-spirited power ballad. Arresting and absorbing. Cutler‘s new beginning is a welcome blessing for our ears.
Here’s why.

Artist: DANI BLOND
Who: Alluring Canadian songstress.
Blond: “The meaning behind “Human” is deeply personal. I’ve written a couple songs
about the suicide of my brother, but this one was more about the intensity I can feel,
or how I imagine others feel when experiencing or witnessing something unimaginable
in their lives.
So many tragedies are experienced in this world.
I wanted to touch on that feeling through the verses.”

TUTV: The grief-stricken aftermath of Blond‘s tragic loss of her beloved brother inspires her to process the impact through this heart-and-soul touching beauty. Her sky-scraping voice stars throughout.
Suddenly, after a couple of listens, the burning intensity of Rag ‘n’ Bone Man‘s gigantic
hit Human crossed my mind. Fact. Again, we experience the healing force of music.
Stunning accomplishment.
