Another batch of 5 new, stellar tracks have
been added to Turn Up The Volume’s Jukebox.

Listen up.

ALL TOGETHER

.
TRACK BY TRACK

Band: POLEVAULTER
Who: Indie antagonists from Leeds (UK)
who released their debut LP Hang Wave
in 2024.

Track: MANIFEST
Crushing cut from their new
4-track EP Descending.

TUTV: From the kick-off motorik, repetitive synth-layered beats drive you mad. Intimidating vocals augment the tense danger that hangs all over Manifest and haunts your confused psyche. In short, a drilling hammer to crush the demons in your mind for the rest of the day.

Artist: ADAM DONEN
Who: South Africa-born, Germany-based multidisciplinary
artist who writes, directs, composes, and invents new art
forms. More info here.

Track: BIBLE STORIES
The title song of his upcoming album

“In my head, ‘Bible Stories’ was sung by a character not a million miles away from the guy
Mick Jagger sings as in Sympathy for the Devil or The Judge in Cormac McCarthy’s Blood Meridian. The key difference, though, is that he’s always regarding himself so much: in the midst of a genocide, you imagine him worrying about whether the photographer’s catching his good side.

He’s waltzing devil-like through this incredible evil, seemingly loving every moment, you get this sense that in part, maybe most of all, he’s performing for himself, so he doesn’t have to face what’s under the costume.”

TUTV: I know this will sound weird, but what I hear here is as if Leonard Cohen muses
all over a spooky, nightmarish, sonic cascade. The near-breathing vocals echo the late legendary crooner’s bluesy timbre, while the manic musical progression gets under your skin without asking. Intriguing and transfixing experience.

Artists: BROTHER DYNAMITE
Who: New York City-based indie pop/rock duo of Shawn Moynihan
and Alan Miller playing and writing songs together in various bands
since high school.

In 2022, they released their debut album If We Dare.

Track: YOUR TIME WILL COME

“If there’s ever been someone in your life that you wished a little karma upon, this song is for you.  Or is this song about someone in particular?  We’ll leave that to the listener to decide.”

TUTV: From the get-go, this bright-eyed and bushy-tailed rockin’ jam activates all your
itchy limbs. Your time has come to tap your feet to the beat, clap along, sing/hum along, and then run for cover.

Band: SUGARPUCNH
Who: Ferocious rock indies from the Netherlands. They got together in the spring
of 2020, in the middle of a tumultuous epidemic, aiming at world dominance.

“Window is a peephole into the dark, shameless desires that go hand in hand with obsession. Through the eyes of a stalker, we look at a one-sided desire stemming from a kind of God complex. It plays with delusions that the desired person should feel honored in order to be loved by the stalker. She portrays herself as a sort of ‘hero’ who will take away his loneliness.”

TUTV: Wowzers. After an eerie vocal intro, all hell breaks loose. Window is a merciless uppercut propelled by schizoprenic guitars, a clobbering drum/bass artillery, and sky-scraping singer Janneke screaming her four lungs out in the middle. Think The Offspring fronted by Courtney Love. Advice, have a look under your bed before you press play and start the fireworks.

Band: OCTAVIAN WINTERS
Who: 4-piece, born into the ghostly isolation of San Francisco in 2022. Their sound
mirrors the surrealism of that time, weaving threads of the visceral and ethereal
together into shimmering instrumental layers, with vocals that alternately soar
and dive.

In 2023, they released 5-track EP, The Line Of Curve.

Track: ELEMENTS OF AIR

TUTV: Dark Gothic waves flood your stereo. Big bass/drum beats, distorted guitars, shadowy synth-reverberation, and spine-tingling combine for a towering rersonance.
Think Bauhaus, think Killing Joke.
