Band: VIRGIN BIRTH
Who: An industrial synth-punk duo based in Louisville, Kentucky. Both musicians
bring deep roots in punk and indie rock, having played in various bands over the
years.
Track: I CAN’T READ
New single from their full-length record titled Total Annihilation,
which is set to be released on May 4th via Never Nervous Records.
Lyrically, the song explores the frustration and confusion that comes with misinterpreting seemingly straightforward conversations, especially in digital communication like emails and text messages. It delves into the nuances of language, the gaps between intention and perception, and the subtle misunderstandings that can arise when tone and context are lost in written exchanges.
TUTV: This razor blade industrial shocker spikes your terrified head with
nine inch nails and attacks your ears with synth-injected-frenzy. Trust me, it’s
totally worth it.

Artist: MØ
Who: Moniker for Danish EBM songstress
Karen Marie Aagaard Ørsted Andersen.
Track: KEEP MOVING
New single from her upcoming 4th LP,
called Plæygirl. Out on May 16.
MØ: “It’s an ironic take on my endless to-do list. It’s about the feeling of unravelling under
the weight of everybody’s expectations, including my own, whilst also secretly dreaming of being set free from this constantly shifting, absolutely mental Western world. I have never enjoyed recording ad-libs as much as I did screaming “BUAH!” in the chorus – definitely my favourite ad-libs ever. The lyrics come from a place of real frustration, but writing and performing this one heals me too.”
TUTV: MØtastic move!

Band: PAYOLA
Who: London/ Essex based 5 piece formed at the start of 2024 united by a love for music and the desire to bring something fresh and exciting to the guitar driven new music scene.
Track: PULSE JET MAN
“The idea behind Pulse Jet Man is that it is the persona you take on when you want to be something that you don’t think you can be. It’s the person you want to see looking back
in the mirror, not what the actual reflection portrays. Be that a hero, a thief, a heartbreaker
or an astronaut. Everyone has a bit of pulse jet in them. C’mon, c’mon.”
Press info: ‘Pulse Jet Man’ from the very start is full of thrashing, pounding drums and distorted, fuzzing, snarling guitars. It’s a frenzy of electrifying sound that doesn’t let up throughout. There’s a certain urgency contained in the melody, the chorus hooks are anthemic and just as unrelenting. It’s a raw and powerful track befitting of a true rock
and roll.
TUTV: This riff-ripper goes fast-forward from the get-go. No brakes, no breaks,
no mistakes. Hungry guitars, perturbed vocals and a cutting chorus combine for
a crackerjack discharge.
Press play.

Band: THE SPORKS
Who: Fresh indies from Wales who are here to feed you their own blend of retro rock originals. Out of the mouths of babes, they have laid the foundations of a freshly interpreted sound to inspire their creations.
Track: STATE OF YOU
Their 2nd single.
Press info: With the raw grit of The Black Keys, punch of Supergrass, and a touch of Hendrix swagger, this track grabs you from the first bar and doesn’t let go with its driving grooves, infectious hooks and lyrically mature mix of admiration and frustration.
TUTV: Barbed wire 60s garage blues rock from the basement. Raw and rough.
