Richard Archer: “My wife’s from Central America and I got into Cumbia music
because of Joe Strummer, then going out to El Salvador with her and hearing more
tunes and getting into stuff like Manu Chao – I liked it and it felt quite punk rock.”

TUTV: This smells like summer, like piña colada.
Latin vibes. Hard-Fi surprise. You’ll love it, like I do.

Band: TAXI GIRLS
Who: Outspoken Canadian punk daredevils from Montreal formed in 2022.
They produce a sharp mix of blown-out guitars, dual-vocal tension, and hook-heavy urgency, for fans of The Distillers, Amyl and the Sniffers, The Donnas, Bikini Kill, and
Joan Jett & The Blackhearts.

Track: SECRET HANDSHAKE
Their 2nd single from upcoming debut full-length called
Static, out on June 26th. Tracklist and order info here

“The song is written from a place of love and longing, the song captures the feeling
of wanting a summer fling to last a bit longer than the fading season. Even when
summer is over, you’ll always have your secret handshake.”

TUTV: Full steam forward from the get-go with avid harmonies, and pepped up by greedy guitars, and rushing drum/bass buzz. These Amazons know how to get your head-spinning 360°. They don’t slow down one second on this racing riff-ripper.

Bang-on.

Artist: AMY BELL
Who: English songstress who started writing at 14 and playing live at 17,
is inspired by big names such as Billy Bragg, John Cooper Clark, Badly Drawn
Boy, PJ Harvey
and Nirvana.

Track: MILLHOUSE.
A song that touches on themes that a lot of people my age struggle with.
Highlight from her brand new, 2nd EP, called Want Me.

TUTV: With the first seconds kicking in, I thought a country song was about to evolve.
A solid cool one that is. From there on Millhouse progresses in a lazy Courtney Barnett groove modus, evoking swaying body moves while Amy Bell‘s laid-back slacker vocals
glide over it. It’s a funky tune that sticks promptly in your head.

Top-drawer tune!

Band: THE GODS THEY MADE
Who: Swiss gee-whizz indies from Geneva who
released their debut album Breathe In in 2024.

Track: HYPNOTIC
New single.

The lyrics operate through images and statements rather than narrative,
“you know what I know”, “fight the real enemy”, “what goes around keeps turning”.
When the full chorus finally comes – “who wants it, who wants it” – it feels
both inevitable and earned.

The song earns every section. Nothing overstays, nothing is wasted. The middle eight
shifts the track’s center of gravity before the final chorus brings everything back, fuller.

TUTV: Hypnotic is gingered up by shiny synth-waves, some rollin’ bass force and its melodic verve. Gutsy vocals inject this strong steamroller with intense impetuosity. Indie punk rock ‘n’ roll for your itchy ears and hankering mind. Magnetic stuff.

Touchdown.

The 5 fresh ones
TRACK BY TRACK

Artist: PATRICK WOLF
Who: Expressive English singer-songwriter
from South London.

Track: LIMBO
Piece from his upcoming, 7th album,
called Crying The Neck. Out June 13th.

The song features wonderful American songstress Zola Jesus.

Wolf: “I have adored Zola’s work since her first ‘Stridulum’ album and we have been pen friends since 2011. As I finished writing the song here by the quiet of the sea and seeing pictures of her own wilderness of woodland where she lives now in Wisconsin, I felt we were aligned somewhat in spirit at this point of our work. It was only her voice I imagined to duet with me and now I can’t imagine anyone else riding shotgun beside me on this our summer gothic road trip of a song.”

Entrancingly vocal, and melodic grandeur.

________________________________________________________________________________________________

Artists: CUTTY
Who: Indie rock-pop
tandem from Hull, UK.

Track: AIN’T TALKIN

The song explores the feeling of detachment and defiance against meaningless chatter.
It’s a self-reflective track about choosing silence over the noise around us, embarking
on a journey to discover true connections while piecing together our own truths.

Top-tier rock ‘n’ rolling stomper, funky as hell and groovin’ and movin’ with
gutsy gusto and vivid verve and fueled with an unexpected transition to
a break-beat finale.

Striking stroke.

Artist: BEN KEY
Who: Singer-songwriter blending groove-heavy rhythms, soulful vocals, and ambient synths, bridging vintage grit with modern electronic textures. Debuting singer-songwriter from Toronto, Ontario. He was co-founder of Canadian band New West.

Track: JAMES DEAN
Solo debut.

“I wanted the song to carry that same sense of passion, defiance, and nostalgia, like
a scene straight out of an old movie where love is reckless, raw, and all-consuming.”

A tireless drum beat throbs non-stop and motorizes this sonic upper all the way through. The iconic rebel without a cause James Dean inspired Key for this rousing rocker. Infectious, resolute, irrepressible and juiced with perfervid vocals.

Band: PREOCCUPATIONS
Who: Canadian post-punk outfit from Calgary, Alberta.
They formed in 2012 under the name Viet Cong, a name
they dropped in 2016 following lots of criticism related
to the Vietnam War.

Track: BASTARDS
New single from their upcoming 5th LP,
titled III At Ease. Out on May 9th.

Never heard Preoccupations this synth-poppy
and it works 100%. Kicky knockout.

Band: THE GODS THEY MADE
Who: Indie rockers from Geneva, Switzerland.
They released their debut album Breathe In
last year.

Track: ANYTHING YOU WANT

“A haunting exploration of identity and authenticity, beyond the masks we wear
in daily life. The song carves out its own space as a standout indie alt-rock track
with subtle pop accents.”

Riveting from the get-go. Indie guitar-pop opulence for your eager ears spiced with
peachy and crystalline, harmonious vocals, sparkling guitar play and a splendiferous chorus. Stellar stuff.
