Band: SMITT E. SMITTY & THE FEZZTONES
Who: Madcap Boston-based glam and glitter
rock notet.

Track: MOTOR CITY YANKEE

Smitty: “Many people in both the Detroit and Boston music community know of me, but they don’t really KNOW me,” Smitty says with a thunderous laugh. “I thought this would be a great way to get under the hood, and really show everyone what drives me. Both cities are part of my DNA. I decided a song referencing that fact was due. The guitar groove in the song is very reminiscent of an MC5 type of guitar line, by design.”

TUTV: Put this smoking cannonball on your hard rockin’, guitar freakin’ playlist along
big cannons Aerosmith and Guns N’ Roses. Never a dull moment with this flamboyant hit team. Put your leather jacket on, jump on your motorcycle, and pretend you’re Marlon Brando in the 1953 classic movie The Wild One.

Artist: KURTYS KIDD
Who: Rocker/actor from
Kingston, ON.

Track: OUT ON THE SPIRAL
First single from his upcoming,
2nd full-length, This Dirty Machine.

KK: “’Out On The Spiral Arm’ is a song about isolating yourself because you’re hurt, but then finding out that wherever you go you can find love if you open yourself to it. Love is all around us in this universe – but you have to be open to it to receive it.”

TUTV: Be ready for a titanic riff-insane jackhammer, revved up with burly vocals that will roll all over your stereo and over Beethoven. Kidd produces enough red-hot hooks-and-licks to get your ears burned. Fervent fan of classic thunderous-heavy rock, annex flaming guitar solos? Here’s some fierce fuel to start you up.

Band: SUCCULENTS
Who: Manchester’s girl-and-boy-next-door lo-fi indie duo
who blend upfront plugged-in guitar riffs, candy-floss-sweet harmonies and a sense of joyful togetherness intact.

Track: WORK IT OUT

“The song is about conflict resolution, but also about that strange apathy you can feel when you’re surrounded by constant arguments, whether that’s protests, politics or toxic online spats. The protagonist is almost taking the attitude of ‘I can’t be bothered with this’, while knowing that sometimes avoiding conflict doesn’t necessarily make it disappear. ‘Be careful what you wish for’ is probably the most important line in the song.”

TUTV: Full steam ahead from the kick-off. A flood of jangly guitars overwhelms your eardrums, while the stoked duo comes up with brisk vocals pushing the pace even further, with urgency and panache. For everybody who likes to twist and shout now and then, this is the melodic barnstormer to play when you lose your temper; for everybody else, this indie buzz is what you wish for. We’ll work it out together.

Here.
Now.
