19 April 2021

Band: LOBSTERBOMB
Who: A fresh new band from the Berlin underground.
Formed in a Berlin basement in 2020 by Nico Rosch, Vik
Chi and Crayon Jones, Lobsterbomb makes raw, energetic
and danceable indie garage rock.

Single: WAKE UP

About: “It’s is a song about overcoming the frustrations of being
trapped in a monotonous and unfulfilling routine and overcoming
the pressures society places on us to live our lives in a certain way.
The song has an urgent energy that reflects the need to change
ourselves and the world around us in a positive way, for a more
sustainable and contented future.”

Score: Third smack. Third screaming triumph. As Turn Up
The Volume wrote when debut single Yes Yes Yeah came
on the stereo this hit and run trio combines Bikini Kill‘s rough
outcries, L7‘s detonating gusto, and B-52‘s peppery liveliness.

WAKE UP WORLD! TIME FOR A CHANGE!
Give Lobsterbomb megaphones, they will
show us the way.

THE BOO RADLEYS Released Their Bestseller Album ‘WAKE UP!’ 25 Years Ago Today…

Posted on by JL

27 March 2020

British alt pop outfit THE BOO RADLEYS released their third album WAKE UP! today
25 years ago, on 27 March 1995 via Alan McGee‘s notorious label Creation Records. Their greatest commercial success as the LP hit Number One in the UK. Their top ten single Wake Up Boo! was co-responsible for the longplayer’s triumph.

AllMusic wrote: With their third album, The Boo Radleys abandoned the overt noise that obscured the pop sensibilities of their early work and scaled back the ambitions of Giant Steps. The result is Wake Up!, a glorious, brightly colored gem of a pop record… The Boo Radleys were always a band with ambitions. The only difference with Wake Up! is that they finally fulfilled them.” Full review here. Score: 4.5/5

Band: NO SWOON

Who: Duo – Tasha and Zack – from Brooklyn, NY, formed in 2016.
Their music draws from dream pop, shoegaze, and post-punk revival

Track: ‘DON’T WAKE UP, WAKE UP’ – first single from their debut album

Score: Wow! What a jaw-dropping debut this is! ‘Don’t Wake Up, Wake Up‘ rushes and
races fiercely like if somebody chases you in a nightmare and you have no clue how to escape. Screaming guitars, ablaze percussion and urgent vocals all add to the anxious impact of this bang-up buster. Sturdy stuff! Antsy turbulence!
