Along with the news came the lead single.
As expected, a roaring riff-loaded whopper.
And it’s promo time now.
They talked to Kerrang! about the new record: “We just came in with this totally refreshed energy to make music again. We were back in a room together, writing, writing music together, and feeling the sound waves hit you, and that’s when you get excited again.”It was jamming to get enough material to go and play live. And with the next records, you have to progress, and you learn how to yeah do things differently.”
Another batch of 5 new, stellar tracks has
been added to Turn Up The Volume’s Jukebox.
Turn it up.

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.
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.
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.
“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.
