Band: JOOLS
Who: High-voltage hit team from Leicester, UK. Last year they launched
their imposing debut LP, named Violent Delights. You can stream it here.

New single: WHEREVER I GO, THERE I AM

Kate Price (co-vocalist/songwriter): “Suddenly playing big shows was an amazing
and transformative experience. But I couldn’t outrun the fears of living this dream and
my fixation on perception; this song covers the acceptance of needing to tackle not
outrun our fears.”

TUTV: Amps and decibels up from the kick-off. Aggressive guitars, merciless drums, and searing duet vocals combine for a volcanic outburst, boiling over every time the crushing chorus crashes your stereo. Post-punk ferocity mixed with nu-metal moxie propel this combustible haymaker. Helter skelter. Wherever you go, don’t miss Jools.

Wake up.
Press play.
Play loud.

I YA TOYAH – Explosive Industrial Vamp Strikes With Belter ‘APOLOGY’

Posted on by JL

Vitalizing tunes that work faster than a stream of caffeine

27 June 2026

Artist: I YA TOYAH
Who: Chicago-based musician, singer, composer, producer, remix artist, and performer. IYT is not a musical act. She’s a movement. When spoken out loud in her native Polish,
the words ‘I Ya Toyah‘ translate to ‘It’s just me’ and to ‘I am who I am’. She has released
2 albums, thus far. You can check them out on Spotify.

Track: APOLOGY
Brand new single.

“Dark, confrontational, and impossible to ignore, “Apology” invites listeners to examine
a feeling most people experience but rarely admit: What if everyone really does owe you an apology?”

TUTV: After a haunting intro, Apology evolves into a theatrical, bombastic industrial
belter. Middle-paced, dominant, ferocious and erupting on the detonative chorus, with
I Ya Toya‘s intimidating voice on top. An unapologetic slice of sonically imposing fervor. Wake up, people, it’s more than just her.

The accompanying video clip transports viewers into a shadowy
industrial realm where power is both celebrated and questioned.

Californian Goth shero CHELSEA WOLFE has a new album canned, her
8th, following 2024 LP She Reaches Out To She Reaches Out To See.

No details thus far, but yet two appetizers with The Dark and my preffered one
DEATH IS NO THE END. It all starts, yes, acoustically, and proceeds inch by inch
to a foredoomed climax. Goosebumps.

Wake up, people, get
ready for the afterlife.

And it all happens in the dark.

TOOTH – Young London Gunslingers Rock Beyond ‘THE AGE OF INNOCENCE’

Posted on by JL

Vitalizing tunes that work faster than a stream of caffeine

15 June 2026


Promo shot

Band: TOOTH
Who: Young London gunslingers ready
to conquer the British indie scene.

Tom Pollock (frontman) told DIY Magazine: “Lots of bands from the ‘90s have
had this massive resurgence, kids are craving their own generation’s version of that.
Kids nowadays want to claim something that’s their own and not have to look back
into the past.

Track: THE AGE OF INNOCENCE

Standout blast from their brand new 5-track EP, called Restless In Bloom.

The age of innocence is long gone. Nowadays, cityscapes and picture-painting
inspire Pollock, still writing with a “confusion and restlessness”, only through
the lens of a 21-year-old Londoner.

TUTV: Resolute aplomb, big guitars, thumping sound, itching vocals,
anthemic tunes. Afire adolescent Britrock for adolescent music junkies.

Standout blast from their brand new 5-track EP, called Restless In Bloom.

CELL GAMES – Irish Nu-Metal Blasterers Hit Hard With Their New Doomsday Slam ‘HELLWORLD’

Posted on by JL

Vitalizing tunes that work faster than a stream of caffeine

9 June 2026

Band: CELL GAMES
Who: 4-piece who are the proud torch carriers for Irish Nu-Metal since
their inception in 2021. The band rip up the rule book, avoiding the pitfalls
of any troupes and preconceived notions of the genre, spitting back their
own inimitable sound.

Pop culture references are a red thread that run throughout the Cell Games
catalogue so it’s unsurprising that their name came from the humble beginnings
of Dragon Ball Z marathon.

Track: HELLWORLD

TUTV: From the kick-off, your head gets crushed by a thunderous sonic force of nature empowered by schizo guitars and a fanatical drummer. Demonian howls accentuate this bursting belter’s ominous theme. Doomsday is just around the corner. No exit way. We’re trapped.

It’s the end of the world as we know it, and it feels cell games fine.
